WHAT IS THIS LEFTFIELD SUGGESTION TIMHULIO?!

Of course - added :)

Don't want to get too long a list though so any further suggestions should be well in the realm of the main kinds of effects categories commonly seen.

Heh. That is actually my favourite Harmonic Percolator. Much prefer it with the silicon clipping and higher gain Russian germanium transistor.

Noice! I've taken the liberty of adding in that detail to your post. As I started this thread I'm stating that any builders of pedals are welcome to name their own pedal if that is their favourite in a category. I don't think anyone here would abuse that just for self promotion as it's just a bit 'o fun.

Also folks are free to discuss anyone's list and choices in thread. Like this:

So Tim - the utility is the white perc under a different name yus? I need to shift a lot of my pedals and old stock so when i get the money together i'll deffo be up for one and give you a shout.

1. FUZZ - Danelectro Cool Cat Fuzz V2
2. OD/DISTORTION - TurboRAT
3. DELAY - Danelectro PB&J (only delay I have actually ever tried so this isn't totally accurate)
4. CHORUS - Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus (the dark blue, true bypass one, sounds fucking lush)
5. FLANGER - N/A
6. PHASER - N/A
7. BOOST PEDAL - Cool Cat Fuzz w/ input gain turned down
8. WAH - N/A
9. TUNER - The one I got on my phone
10. FILTER/AUTOWAH - N/A
11. REVERB - Hardwire Stereo Reverb
12. SPECIAL FX - Behringer Ultra Shifter/Harmonist
13. FAVOURITE! - Probably Cool Cat Fuzz or Behringer Pitch Shifter
