As I said, there is no limit to my desire to look at those gorgeous builds all the time, it doesn't matter whether the topic was truly needed or not let's have em pouring people!

As for me, it's this one:



I just think that I've peaked here in every way. I've had a couple that I think have been better aesthetically, but this one really makes me smile every time I look at it. And I enjoy playing through it sooo much.

It's actually a tie between the one pictured and this one - https://scontent-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/488324_10151193006111337_323533424_n.jpg?oh=d2301058957c7a2a8af2afcf11946bef&oe=558DFF25 , but...yeah, I'll go with the supavibe.

No, I think best and favourite are two different things.

Totally agree. My favourites are almost always because of what they achieve rather than how well built they are. The PS1A has been apart so many times while we fettled it, it's far from my best for example.

My best is usually my last multi (Gilmourizer), though the one I'm on with looks likely to eclipse that... It's got SHELVES! Mwahahahaha!

I think my favorite build is the Phantom Pain delay unit that I built recently. It's kind of a home brew version of Earthquaker Devices's Disaster Transport Sr. The reason it is tops in my list is because it contains a couple PCBs that I designed (EQD's Ghost Echo Reverb and some Splitter/Mixer boards), and it took a lot of signal chain planning to approximate the DT Sr. AND add a couple of additional features. It was fun to shop around for PCBs and schematics for the features I wanted and figure this beast out like a puzzle.

I think my favourite (not necessarily 'best' though) would have to be this one:


I was really happy with the way it came out. It doesn't sound half bad either!

Cortexturizer: That build is effing gorgeous dude. Top work!

Thanks raulduke my man! It's a shame we don't get to see more of your wonderful pedals anymore. I reaaaaally love that finish that you always have! It's bloody awesome.

Thanks a lot dude.

I've been pretty slow on the builds for a while I must admit.

I have some that are coming together nicely though. Just need the miserable weather to improve a little to tempt me back into my builders den (read garage)  ;D
