The Polytune is a great Tuner. Has the capability to sweet tunings as well and very accurate
I can't recommend the Magus Pro enough. It's an amazing clone of three different Rats, except they've actually made them sound better. For 30 bucks it's an absolute steal.
Also worth mentioning that the polytune has a built in buffer (about $60 separately)

Aren't most of these clones of popular circuits?

I am not super expert at old school pedals -- I think the SCF Gold Chorus is a TC original.
Apparently it originally was a rack mounted device (called the SCF) in the 80s or 90s, and they made the pedal version about 20 years ago.

Did a quick web search on some of the other effects. Most of the results were from gear forums, and I suspect are educated guesses:
  • Grand magus — based on rat
  • Grand magus pro — based on rat, turborat, fatrat
  • Honey pot fuzz — based on EHX Big Muff PI
  • Skysurfer reverb — marketing text says it is based on 'classic' mono reverb spring, plate, and hall algorithms.
  • Echobrain — based on a Behringer clone of a Boss analog delay

Grabbed a tuner to get more precise intonation. Threw in a sustain pedal for my gf's keyboard for Xmas so she won't scold me.

In for the Chorus / Flanger. Has been a pedal I've heard about here and there as fun so why not. I'm a sucker for modulation anyway and resisted the Ross Chorus blowout so I guess here I am spending the same money weeks later (sigh) ... Polytune hard to complain about as an onstage tuner if you need one

The new TC Plethora X1 is also on sale and currently $129.99. I couldn't resist at that price point. The Polytune is super tempting to grab but I just got a Peterson Strobo stomp mini and have a couple Tuner Presses.

Best price I've ever seen on the Polytune 3. Definitely grabbing one at $60, thanks!

The mini is $10 cheaper but doesn't have an option for battery power.

When you go to check out there is an option to buy the Wiim Mini for $59! It's currently $90 everywhere else and is (IMO) the best audio streaming device around (besides the more expensive Wiim models). It shows $69 on the page, but was offered for $59 when viewing my cart.

Some more clone info:

Zeus Drive -> Klon Centaur
3rd Dimension Chorus -> Boss Dimension C, minus stereo input and output
Cinders Overdrive -> Boss Blues Driver
Eyemaster Metal Distortion -> Boss Heavy Metal, minus two knobs
Thunderstorm Flanger -> Boss BF-2

A few of the pedals on sale (like the Echobrain) are repackages of Behringer's plastic pedals. Also, the switches on these are engage-on-release, not engage-on-hold.

Also, the TC Electronic Bass amplifier heads are on sale with significant discounts. They are compact and lightweight bass amp heads. 200, 250, and 500 watt models. $110 - $240.

They require a bass speaker cabinet to play with though, unless running direct into a PA or into a recording interface. They do have headphones outputs.

Darn you to heck, OP. I needed this sale like a hole in the head. Got four pedals in the cart and counting.

FYI, looks like the price drop is on at other retailers as well, including Musicians Friend (https://www.musiciansfriend.com/a...electronic) and Guitar Center (https://www.guitarcenter.com/Amps...ronic&Ns=r)
