Pedal names

[Alan W]

Just reading my morning news feed. “Russian sausage tycoon dies in…” and my first thought is “Russian Sausage Tycoon!” What a great pedal name! Or is it just something wrong with me? Is my world becoming too pedal-centric?

But now I have to decide what TYPE of pedal a Russian Sausage Tycoon is…

Abe Froman, the "Sausage King of Chicago", say "Do it!".

Well that's easy, it has to be an octive or two (or both) down!!! One octave down, or two. Or both one and two at the same time.

And maybe if you do both down at the same time a millisecond between voices for the chorus effect.

"Oh Yeah" by Yello.....

In the shower (where I seem to do about 90% of any given day‘s thinking) I decided that sausages are made by grinding and stuffing. And since we have a Russian tycoon, the grinding should be muff based. So, a combo hard compressor / muff? Makes me think of the American Woman lead. Russian Sausage Tycoon falls for American Woman even has a bit of poetry in it, no? I’ll play around with the muff I made last spring and a compressor as a proof of concept. Détente.

Is it just me, or is there a striking resemblance??

Now I'm being pulled by the ethers into Phaser territory...

I'm fine with you naming your pedal Russian Sausage Tycoon as long as I get dibs on the band name.

Also, dibs on Gorilla Tits too.

All of the good band names have been taken-
& most of the bad band names have been taken also..

Sounds like a put down among friends. "We would've made it there on time if it weren't for this Russian sausage tycoon over here."

More importantly, what is the graphic-design on the pedal?


I liked RetiredUnit1's octave idea.
Pair it up with the compressor on the lowest octave, let the Russian Muff compress the single-octave down...


DRY-INcomp 2-oct down MIX-OUT

1-oct down Muff ​

I thought my band name, Andy Sausage and The Links, was pretty good. Bit if you say so

Frank would've approved

My favourite band name for a band that I actually played in was the Black Marias. Maria pronounced like Mariah Carey. Did you have police wagons called black marias in the US? I'm not sure where the term comes from but I thought it made for a good band name.

If I ever build another Super Hard On I want to call it Blood Sausage.

Another band I played in - a rockabilly band - we called The Lowriders. I quite liked that one too. My last band was an original band playing rockabilly/jump blues called The Kickstart Cadillacs.

Pedal naming is hard. Here's a handy reference guide for naming pedals. Pick one word from each column. Keep in mind that some combinations are already registered trade names.
