Just thinking to myself...what type of pedal have you built the most of?

[ckim715]

between tonefx, madbean, guitarpcb, vero layouts, and a plethora of other DIY pedal resources, what have you built the most of, for personal use? Obviously, if you are running a pedal business, you build what the customer wants, but for your own enjoyment, what have you built the most of?

I realized I am a dirt junky. Of the 6 madbean layouts i've built, I have built 1 Pork Barrel. The other 5 are the Fatpants (boost) Serendipity (Zen Drive) Cosmopolitan (Screwdriver) Uproar (Riot) and Mud Bunny (Big Muff)

I need to venture out more. Thinking about building an Aqua Boy, but alas they went out of production

Purchasing statistics and project percentages will tell us that dirt pedals are by far the most popular and common. The other stuff sells, particularly delay these days.

As for what I've built for myself to use... yikes! I don't even know. Perhaps Delay? Either that or overdrive.

Fuzz without a doubt  . The second would be overdrive. But I build a fuzz face almost every weekend, usually just to test little circuit changes.

[mjcyates]

Mostly overdrives, delays second. Mostly madbean stuff, also some tonepad.

Dirt and delays.  What more could anyone want.

[sgmezei]

Dirt for sure. Although fuzz pedals for me are growing.

Er... Tremolo?

[Jack Deville]

complex circuits that take too long and often require calibration.
in short:  lots of delays, and way to many flangers.

i should really focus on making simple boosters and overdrives.

I love building compressors. I love to see how much I can clean up my semour duncan blackouts. I also really like the sonic stomp. Some people hate it but man.. It really polishes my sound. And of coarse dist/od. Those seem to be the funnest to experiment with

[dwstanford]

Its gotta be fuzz for me.  Mostly ge fuzz.  I bet i've built a hundred of them.  I will probably build a hundred more.

Ya, but your delay and modulation pedal guts are works of art!

Mostly Dirt and Fuzz for me too. I always think I have built enough dirt and then another circuit comes along that piques my interest.

+1 On Devilles pedal guts and board layouts being a work of art; they are pristine from what I have seen!

[bigmufffuzzwizz]

I've also mostly built fuzz pedals though I like the others and am finally getting around to experimenting. Finishing the Pork Barrel was my biggest accomplishment so far though!

[GermanCdn]

Overdrives by far take first place, followed by boosters, then trems, although I get the most satisfaction out of building modulation units.  Have three different delay boards on the work bench right now, so once those are complete, I'm sure I'll have the delay bug soon.

One day I'll actually have to start cutting back on the building and ramp up the playing to justify the growth rate of my pedal collection, but that won't happen anytime soon.

Modulation easily followed by delay since I'm a sucker for both.

Phase, two chorus, three trems, flange and envelope filter so far with plans for an easy dual LFO modulated filter, wah shell vibe and hopefully someday a ring mod.

Delay has been echo base x2, DBD, pt-80 and currently working a dirtbag with an eye on the Aqua Boy Deluxe. Plans are forming for a deluxe 2399 build: Either a tricked out Echo Base with EQ on the repeats and effects loop or another PT-80 with Taptation/EQ/loop.
