Which ones really put a smile on your face?  I don't have 3 yet. But I really liked the Brian May treble boost clone.

Ice-9

My 3 builds that i can think of at the moment are, not in particular order

1. A BSIAB 2 that has a few minor mods to it.
2. A flanger by R.A. penfold based on the TDA1022 chip ( which i made when i was 18ish. I'm now erhem 42) still have the schematic but not the pedal
3. A marshall guvnor clone.

Please at least have 1 forum post before sending me a PM demanding something.

1.  Omega boost
2.  Orange squeezer
3.  tie between Thor and a PT-80, because I almost never used them separately.

Tonebender MKII- just sounds incredible
Rangemaster- ditto on the sound
OpAmp distortion/Ringer hybrid type thing- because it's sick and twisted and sort of my own design as much as can be these days.

The microbooster I just posted in the picture thread.

My combination OD (Ross OD derivative) and treble booster in one box. Too damn good to ignore.

I'll let you know what the next one is.

slideman82

- Highway 89 with some final caps changed and all Ge trannies (also sounds better with a simple Ge stage in front of it)
- Dr Boogey tonestackless (and ear picked fets...one night in summer... till 2 or 3 in the morning!) and some tweaks too.
- Probably a MKII pro I made for a guy, my first one, and that really sounded like Pagey in I or II... mine is more gainny!

but just 3... and I like a lot more!
QuoteA flanger by R.A. penfold based on the TDA1022 chip

I've got a couple of these IC's, but no schemo... is it still avaible?
Hey! Turk-&-J.D.! And J.D.!

Hanglow

Currently (as my top 3 list tends to change with the seasons :D )

1: Multiface - can't believe I didn't make one of these sooner, all the FF type fuzz you could want
2: Modded Bluesbreaker - my first ever build but I have gone back to it and tweaked it a few times, favourite OD
3: Flatline compressor. I'm a sucker for heavily compressed lead playing, and this is still my favourite comp that I have made so far

mdh

Limiting myself to just the ones that are actually in boxes with switches and jacks,

1. Neutron
2. Phase 90
3. BSIAB II

I really like running the BSIAB through the Phase 90.

3.- phase 90/tremulus lune combo i called "nazca pets"
