Pointless Pedals ?

Only haters will say this isn’t the secret gift of tone

the funny thing about so called pointless pedals is that if you handed them to the right person they could make something super cool with them.

I used the slicer for this a couple of years ago. Not useless for my purposes?

Sell that to a video game man!

I was going through a box of Boss pedals looking for something when I found this pedal.
I thought to myself what a pointless pedal this is.
Had some fun with it when I first bought it but never really used it for anything meaningful .
Do you have any pointless pedals?

I’d be curious to checkout the harmonic tremolo mode.

Dunlop tremolo volume. Not totally pointless, but not super practical. I had it for a year and moved on.

For me it has to be the Mimiq Mini, mono does nothing. I was going for a cheap road to the Geordie Walker tone. REALLY didn't do that job

Wasn't the use case that you would run 2 outs from another pedal, one to one amp and the other to the Mimiq Mini at 100% wet to a second amp? I wouldn't think it would work well mono - wasn't it always supposed to be a stereo effect?

Yeah I knew I wasn't gonna get like-for-like with the sound, but I figured that kinda vibe was still attainable.
