Your favorite pedal you've built?

This one is a tough question, but for me, it's probably the Multiplex.  It's the delay that always makes its way back to my board.  It's so easy to dial in good sounds too, and it's the pedal that most people ask "wtf is that."

Aleph > That's seriously one of my favorite builds ever! Beautiful beautiful work.

My personal favorite is my Lofi Machine that I sold to a musician who was really insistent. I will have to build myself another one someday. It was very inspiring to play.

Nice! It sounds great.

I vaguely remember a thread about that thing.

What is in that box?

I always come back to the Speaker Cranker. Always bugs me a little that such a simple circuit sounds so good, but it almost always ends up on.

The speaker cranker is definitely in my top five. It was the pot of gold at the end of my overdrive quest.

My Wayne Kirkwood One Knob Squeezer (now pedal design five on the THAT Corp. pedal page).  I added a bicolor bargraph display that tells me exactly what it is doing to my signal at every moment, and I'm happy to leave it on 100% of the time.

EBK gain reduction LED ladder is interesting.

Thanks!
It's a comp into a Pitch Pirate (with a dark position) into a switchable bitcrusher (Sonic Reducer by Parasit studio)
Initially the comp was a mosfet comp from Circuit Salad, but then I put in Mictester really cheap compressor.

Can't narrow it down to one fave, but Aion's L-5, Jason's Cascadia and Bean's 2014 Kingslayer are never left at home.

Still relatively new to this game. But the LPB-1 I built last month is fun, and as I completed it in under 24hrs, I'm pretty happy.

Mine has the be the Aeon Blueshift / Boss Dimension C
Ive lusted after that proper 80s stereo chorus for so long, and was such a pleasure to be able to build it for myself.

It's really hard for me to pick my own personal favorite but I'd say this one is close:



Reason being is 1) it's simple 2) it sounds great and 3) my artwork/etch/enclosure design is nearly perfect (yes, I am humble).

I'd have to say the humor user I built. 4 effects with effects order switchers between each effect, I could literally reverse the order of the whole pedal, it was cool.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Probably my Magnus Modulus, but I could see a multiplex taking over that spot in my heart eventually.
