yes you are right in the sense that those players didn't have as many options and they obviously weren't being marketed sounds in a box compared to previous existing players. in the analog man guide to vintage effects theres a interview with roger mayer where he talks about "achieving the tone of the greats" is all a bunch of bullshit. They try to compare a pedal to how a player sounds on a record but when you think about it on the record you hear that players tone mangled throught compressors and limiters and eq sections. when your pedal sounds like jimi live, then you can make that claim. also jimi and stevie ray vaughn and im sure many others had what you would call custom pedals. hendrix tryed many different fuzz faces at mannys before he left with the one he wanted. and i've heard something about cobain being given that pedal from buzz-o who influenced him into a lot of the stuff he was into.
im like you, when i build a pedal i don't know what to expect yet so i try to work with it and let it inspire me. with that being said i think there are many projects madbean offers you will get fun results with. don't limit yourself, build them all!!
yes sunn-O))) is probably the most epic band i've seen to date!! the asbestos was falling from the ceiling!! s100 are cool. have you seen the s2000?!? thats a sunn beast. i have 2 original grey face model t's(1973 and a 1974). i use pretty much all sunn gear live with the exception of my earth head and acoustic 470!
here's a piece of the collection minus a few cabs and my solarus
