One I finished recently - kind of a mix between the Dr. Quack and the Nurse Quacky. I breadboarded the Nurse Quacky first, then added some of the bits back in from the Dr. Quack, such as the normal/bass switch, and used a TL071 for an input buffer. Yellow LEDs of course, to go with the duck theme.
Knobs are decapitated bath toys. I think it cost me $1 to get 10 of them. My kid was a bit distressed when I cut the head of three of them, he has 'saved' the other seven from my evil scissors. He still enjoys the pedal though. :)

Me too! He's really got all his ducks in row.
Duck knobs.
Duck. Knobs.
Duck knobs.
That is all.
Haha! You guys are awesome ;D
I had a good laugh
The knobs are first class! How did you fix them to the pots?
That's adorable.

I used cheap plastic knobs underneath the duck heads - they fit right on. Then super glue to make them rotate together.
I had to make sure the knobs underneath weren't a dark colour though, as that showed through the yellow duck head and it looked like they were horribly bruised decapitated duck heads. Couldn't have that. Don't want your decapitated duck heads looking fowl. :D
Just be careful when it's on your pedalboard -- you don't want to drake the knobs.

Somebody would have to foot the bill if that happened.
