So of the ones I get can't be used because they're ill-fitting, too much moulding flash and paint mistakes. The ones you use (I assume not cheap- €1 each or so?) are shinier and the white paint is perfect.
yeah I believe the small ones are 0.77EUR-1EUR ish. Not cheap but they are quality. I think not cheaping out on knobs, LED bezels and jacks has made my pedals look a lot more pro. And benecol's graphics aswell of course.

These days I do the following partswise:

Bitsbox - Boxes, Resistors, Bezels, Wire, Capacitors, Toggles, DPDTs
Audiospares - Neutrik Jacks
Rapid - DC jacks, LEDs
Musikding - Decals, knobs, misc.
Banzai - knobs, matched transistors, misc
PedalPartsPlus/EffectsConnection - 3PDTs

Yeah the Fuzz Face is the only positive ground pedal I do. Everything else can be daisy chained just fine.

The Fuzz Face does work great in isolation. I have it on my Pedal Power 2 and it works flawlessly. Great for White Stripes stuff.

Hey Mike, how much would it cost to get a Crowther Hotcake or Fulltone OCD made? :)

It's a wee band in-joke. I have one of the controls on my Matamp labelled 'Dykstra' as well, in his honour.
