The Line 6 Delay Modeler is a good pedal when it comes to providing you with 
all sorts of delays and looping functions, but I was never too crazy about 
it's backward function myself. The real problem with the Delay Modeler is 
that it does a lot and doesn't have many control dials or buttons on it, 
which basically necessitates purchasing an expression pedal to plug into it 
and control assorted parameters -and the thing is expensive enough (usually 
goes for around $250, plus you'll want to get Line 6's special AC adapter 
which is, I think $30 or so) in the first place! What's worst is it's not 
especially programable -you can assign three programs, and each time you 
unplug it or turn it off, you lose your settings and have to set it up again.

Great device for doing weird things with delay, though. Hell, it's got some 
nice modulated delay stuff on it, in fact, and there are some really neat 
lo-fi delay sounds you can get in adition to the normal pristine ones -some 
of the coolest "fuckin' strange!!!" guitar sounds I've heard since that 
fateful day when I patched my now departed Epiphone Les Paul into a vintage, 
borrowed EML 100 synth that a friend's dad owned...

But anyway. Haven't tried this next one, but I'm sure someone on the list 
has: ever hear of the Erogenous Moan pedal Snarling Dogs put out a year and a 
half/two years back? Basically a volume pedal that did a reverse swell as you 
rocked it (in either direction) and had a slight "click" at the end of each 
sweep to suggest pick attack, apparently to make it sound more like something 
that was played backwards from a tape or digital sample rather than just 
messing with volume level.

Oh, and another one for the guitarists: what's your favorite modulation 
effect (mainly thinking of phasers/flangers here)? I always swore by my 
vintage orange-lettering E-H Small Stone, but after the Chicago show, my 
interest in the MXR Phase 90 was peaked after mailing Richard Lloyd for an 
effects list and finding out he'd used that one. I didn't know those were 
capable of sounding so damn deep and swooshy!
