Although there is a problem with this guitar community in that I do not have the main keys, I still feel that I can post here to reach a few guitarists. We can look at moving to or creating a new community.

The world of guitar effects adds to the fun of #guitar playing. You can always buy one more pedal to add another shade to your tone. There are dozens of variations on some classic pedals such as the Fuzz Face or Tube Screamer. Manufacturers need to come up with something different to attract attention.

# Rainger Minibar

I heard [this pedal](https://www.raingerfx.com/product/minibar-liquid-analyser/) mentioned on the [Chasing Tone](https://www.wamplerpedals.com/podcast/) podcast. It is a distortion where the sound is affected by what liquid you put into the small container on top. It can be water, coffee, alcohol or anything really that will not damage it. It seems the opacity and conductivity of the liquid is what make a difference. I wonder how they came up with that idea.

# Korg Miku

[This one](https://www.korg.com/us/products/effects/mikustomp/) has been around for a while. From what I understand it makes sounds like some Japanese animated singer. I guess you could try and make her talk, but I cannot see this having many applications in music.

# T.Rex Replicator

[This](https://www.t-rex-effects.com/replicator) is a little more conventional in that it is a modern version of the old tape echo boxes in a much more compact, and possibly more robust, form. I was at a pub gig years ago where they used a big old tape echo for the vocals and a beer glass fell and broke the tape. I think they used a guitar pedal for the rest of the gig. I get that tape will have a certain sound, but I would think a digital effect could do a pretty good emulation these days. Still, a lot of music for the musician is about feel and the way an effect reacts to how you play can be subtle, but important.

# Zoom G3X Bomber

My own pedals are fairly conventional with some overdrives, distortion and wah, but I have a [Zoom G3X](https://www.zoom-na.com/products/guitar-bass-effects/guitar/zoom-g3x-guitar-effects-amp-simulator-expression-pedal) multi-effects unit with many virtual pedals in it. The oddest may be the Bomber that basically makes an explosion sound when it picks up anything from the guitar. It does not even seem to vary much. I have not found a use for it. I do need to experiment more with other effects as there is such a range and I have only really used a few of them.

Do you have any strange effects or have you seen any out there?
