Jimothey Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I’ve just built a DIY pedal which sounds a bit like a cross between a Tube Screamer and an Overdrive pedal (very Blues sounding) and all the names I’ve come up with are a bit pony........Blues Overdrive, Blues Screamer, Dirty Blues Driver, Dirty Blues Box See what I mean!! Please post any ideas for names that you don’t mind if I use............👍 Edited January 2, 2020 by Jimothey Quote
Si600 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Tubedrive or Scroverdrive both sound just wrong 😉 1 Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Tuberdrive, with a picture of a potato on it for good measure. Or Tüberdrive, because adding an umlaut makes any word sound heavier. 1 Quote

I agree some of the names are just over the top especially Metasonix pedals are named things like Butt Probe, Foreskin Soup and Scrotum Smasher and some are just plain weird and have nothing to do with the pedal at all like Swollen Pickle, Fat Sandwich, Aqua-Puss, Pork Loin and Pork and Pickle?? I just want a quite normal sounding name but I can’t come up with anything that sounds good?? And preferably something that hasn’t been used before just incase I decide sell it down the line (no copyright infringement)??.........🙁 Edited January 2, 2020 by Jimothey Quote

Personally, I'd go with Brian. You can then have a whole load of others in the range..... Dave (that'll be a compressor), Bob (modulation of some sort), Jeremy (Over drive), etc, etc Quote
