Some of the best Dano pedals have been in their cheaper lines.

Looks like i should give those Danelectro pedals a try...

It's the first series of mini pedals I'm referring to, specifically the Tuna Melt tremolo, the French Toast fuzz (which I own), the Milkshake chorus (that one too) and the Chicken Salad. They're really very good, although they're only available secondhand now and the prices are creeping up.

I have a French Toast and Milkshake, was happier with the Toast than with that Peach Fuzz rip-off they did, and found more usable chorus sounds on the Milkshake than with my polychorus back in the day.

That artwork really is awesome.

Pretty cool, I was initially wondering how the hell they'd do it for the pot's entire sweep, but it looks like it' 5 different samples per pot; the Flash applet just figures out which sample the knob is currently nearest. Makes more sense and is perfectly useful, kinda like Buzzfox but with better sounds: http://buzzfox.com/

Cool,
thanks for posting!

Haha I don't think I've been to Buzzfox since the Clin-Ton admin.

It is crazy old. I really wish they would've introduced an amp or ampsim into proceedings; all of the dist pedals sound NASTY and DI'd.

But hey, it was the 1920s.

that blatant bernie pedal is one I've had in mind for a while. a blending pedal, you could come up with some crazy stuff with that. and i've wanted to put a baxandall tone stack in a pedal as well, it's like an old orange amp. the phase switch is cool too. so much cool stuff you could do with that. you could tame down a phaser, flanger or chorus, you could blend different distortion sounds, you could blend a wah in halfway, or tons of other cool stuff.

I have a Toadworks Leo.Jr Overdrive and I love it. Replicates an old overdriven fender amp really well, very touch sensitive and simple to get a great sound out of. I never hear of Toadworks much but I like 'em.

hey thanks for the mentions!
there are some great individual builders out there at the moment all doing there own thing, plenty of choice!
I really like the creepyfingers stuff myself, i have had a supa mk1, i currently have a doomidrive, and have a hornskewer (Zonk Machine) incoming.
Another brand that flys under the radar is Paisley made by a guy called Leon, you see his stuff on Ebay now and again.

Haven't bought a newish pedal in over 2 years, would really like to get the Multiwave Distortion. Pete Thorn's video shows off the stuff quite nicely, it's got loads of fun tones:

Their smaller-footprint SOUNDBLOX versions for 2012 are pretty cool, too.

I just got the Source Audio Multiwave Distortion in the post today and this thing balls out kicks it.

This is like tweak heaven and I have yet to mix it with any other effects than reverb.

The Pro version looks like that would be loads of fun too.

Some of these sounds I am getting are so far out.

I definitely want to check out some of their other stuff now.

My ''cool'' pedal manufacturers would be: Earthquaker Devices, EHX, Zvex, and Coopersonic.

Earthquaker Devices and Zvex are rather pricey in UK though unfortunately.

And EHX, imo, have been bringing out just a bit too many new effects over the last say 5 years; I think they need to apply a little more discretion and patience.

(My favourite uncool pedal makers are probably Visual Sound, BBE, Behringer and Danelectro.)
