Best one-knobbers?

So I kind of like the idea of one-knob pedals. I know about one-knob fuzzes and boosters, but I was thinking of trying something a little different that might work unexpectedly well with just one knob. Anyone have any suggestions of some one knob designs, or circuits that work well having some of the controls fixed with a trimpot inside leaving just one on the outside?

I'm about to build a NomNom when Brian gets them back in stock, so I'm covered on the phaser front probably.

Good Ol' Phase90!

Yea that's what the NomNom is. Just waiting on the PCBs to be back in stock!

how about a stacked potentiometer sort-of thing.  Make a 2 knobber look like a 1 knobber.  Not sure if this is doable with a standard enclosure.

Oh! sorry, did'nt saw that part in your OP, a cocked wah pedal can be fun to.

Afterlife, with either Sustain or Level as a trimpot.

My vote is for a fixed wah. Good call, Rej.

Rub-a-dub reverb  ;D
I've got reverb on the amp, but much prefer this pedal!

That's a winner! I have a Violet Ram clone with a tone bypass switch and it works really well.
...and then of course I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side...

I think a static wah is a good idea.

You might be able to implement an expression pedal input as well to get standard wah functionality if required.

What about the cupcake. Or maybe a Little Angel chorus with a fixed depth or rate.
