Uses for a dead effects pedals?

[SteveXFR]

Apart from throwing at the cat or using as a door stop what can I do with a dead effect pedal to make it a useful object?

Get a kit for another effect and pop it into the case..? If you're not into Building, offer it up in the 'Recycling' section..?

I was going to say use it as a door stop but you've covered it. 

It would make for a novel paperweight.

Give it to your guitarist telling him it will make him sound better......,

I'm with @Dad3353 on this one, buy a kit and have some fun experimenting. 

Then do what @Lozz196says, hopefully it's a dead fuzz pedal and you turn it into a phaser or something and give them a fright.

It's a dead boost/eq pedal (Orange Two Stroke)

Maybe I could fit a 3 band parametric eq kit

I think Johnny Ramone used to use a pedal with no battery as a way to isolate his guitar.

Obviously he would not use an effect pedal for any other reason.

How would that work..?

I think when the pedal is “off” the clean guitar sound goes to the amp. When the pedal is “on” it doesn’t send anything to the amp because of no battery.

You may have seen these:

 

I guess you could fix it to the wall make some kind of key holder.... or just somewhere to hang two jack leads!

 

Note/disclaimer: It's not a good security option to hang keys out on display like that.

Throw it at a cat? Oh wait, you've said that. Door stop? No... you've said that too...

Err... throw it at two cats?
