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.

What brand and model type Tim - don't be coy to say so if it's a Fredric! Benecol has me lusting after a Utility Perc, luuuuusssssttttting.

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.
