Al Krow the Threadstarter, The Prodigy should change their lyrics....
So my experience
MXR does the business from Chilli Peppers to funkadelic Herbie Hancock and is a well made pedal.
Manta - is nuts, very synth dubstep, getbthe hot hand out, it's very good fun and does the other things as mentioned.
Aggie - not played but listened, I think it sounds awesome and very easy to dial in and probably out the 3 mentioned the easisest to dial in install and also change in the fly if needs be.
I sold the MXR, but only because I wasn't using aside from noodling at home and I can use the Manta for that on one save d channel and the Hot Hand on another, I can use it out if I wish also.
It's a difficult one AK, nothing will be wrong, nothing will be fully right. As I know what you play in your bands I am leaning towards the Aggie (you know I have not played it, but listened and taken on board CDJ comments) which I think will sit nicely, but also will give you enough funk for home tinkering.
If you want to go wild you can Borrow my Manta any time as you know
