Back in the nineties, during my livesets, I used them to pimp a bit the audio output of my Amiga computer and they worked great, apart from a unbelievable background noise!
I see now a lot of interest about these old-school distortion pedals, BOSS or any other brand. This is maybe for these very strong points:
- They are cheap and sometimes even free, as lot of people get rid of them easily
- They are modular
- They can be Circuit-bent
- They are analog
- There are many of them, of many brands and many different effects
- They sound harsh, very good for industrial music
Plus there are many already circuit-bent units for sell on the net or E-bay.
So my opinion is that this machines will have a new life since they can be described as the analog plug-ins for the future!
