Weird and wonderful FX, can you suggest any pedals?

Recently got my hands on a count to 5 and want to put a small board together for studio/production use.

Looking at glitchy/reverse/fx sounds for it, not really wanting "digital" sounds like bit crushers etc want more weird atmospheres and reverse oddness!

Any ideas and suggestions very much appreciated!

    Going to get in there first to say this, as others will suggest it, but the Red Panda Particle is highly recommended.

    Glitchy granular delay, really good reverse mode, does pitch-shifting as well, just wonderful.

    Zoom MS100bt or MS50CDR?
    Reverse reverb, plus numerous caves, churches, tiled room reverbs etc. to try out on there.

    Line 6 M5. 
    Reverse echo
    Synth emulations
    Particle Reverb
    Octave fuzz
    Loads of modulation stuff

    And you’ll get one for about £60-75 s/h.

    They are ace. I have one on my board as a Swiss Army Knife

    Maddest thing I ever had was an Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine.

    The Malekko Charlie Foxtrot would be my pick.

  • Is the Line 6 M5 good for live fiddling? Not gigging live - messing around with your mates live!
    I want plenty of quick access to knob twiddling - for me the little Zoom looks to be a faff.
    (I have a Mustang III amp and it takes far too many knob pushes and twiddles to tweak FX)

    Check out Recovery Effects - often have a multitude of effects included in one unit and they are mental:

    It’s ok. Once you’ve selected the effect, the knobs can be twiddled in real time. Only faff can be recalling presets. I’ve had the Zoom and moved it on for the same reason.
    My M5 is connected up via midi which makes the preset thing a non-issue

    The Malekko Sneak Attack is a fun pedal for swells/tremolo and weird reverse sounding tones.
    Tomorrow will be a good day.

    Boss DM-2 or 3 and play with the knobs, loads of fun. Although any BBD type delay will work similar

    The three pedals I'm currently enjoying most along with my CT5 are:

    Dr Scientist BitQuest (it's only a matter of time before I buy a second)

    Alexander Pedals Syntax Error

    Red Panda Particle

    The Catalinbread CSIDMAN is fun too, especially when it gets unpredictable.

    The fact that my Miku has barely been touched gives you some idea how much fun I'm having. ;)

    I used to get some slightly unusual noises from a Boss BF-2 Flanger, with a slow, deep but narrow range sweep with plenty of resonance set on a distorted tone it sounded quite harsh on it's own but in the band mix sounded good. I was trying to get something like the sound Bernard Sumner got with Joy Division on 'Atrocity Exhibition' but ended up with a flange sound that I hadn't really heard before and felt quite chuffed to have found a bit of an original sound. I still have a BF-2 from 1982 (not my original one but a replacement)

    Another good use of the BF2 is to set it to the "drainpipe" sound with no sweep and add a pedal in front of it like a chorus or a phaser.

    Modern digital flangers sound a bit polite when compared to the BF2 but it is as noisy as the tide coming in on a shingle beach!
