The Wizard of Pitch from our old pal Aen. Love that thing. Wish I could still buy the more feature-rich version he made later. Great pedal by itself and in the effect loop of my DOD Rubberneck.

My most interesting pedal is probably a broken Behringer Blues Overdrive that now only does big, scratchy fuzz noises, but you have to regularly turn the gain knob to zero and up again to keep the sound from dying in a gated mess.

I still think about that one time 10+ years ago koyl had a The Great Destroyer proto for sale on the french guitar forum for next to nothing... But without that ad I'm not sure I would have known him and the got my main guitar from him ;D

Probably my Mu-Tron Bi-Phase or EQD Data Corrupter

My Friedman BE-OD black. Only because I can’t see the fricking’ labels to adjust it on the fly.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

My weirdo outlier is the Alesis Bitrman. It’s not exactly a pedal but I’ve used it amp-top and on my pedalboard (either with a loop pedal or a tap tempo switch [the Bitrman has a jack for on/off]). Instant frequency mod/ring mod/bit crush madness.

If I had to guess, Dwarfcraft buying Devi ever was 2018. Then I looked it up, 2014. Crazy, time really flies. Lots has happened since then including Dwarfcraft closing their doors in 2020.

Source Audio Ultrawave. Multiband digital distortion with...dual channels (series or parallel), foldback distortion, compressor, tremolo, quasi-sequencer, EQ, noise gate, morphing (LFO based or expression pedal), and probably some other things I'm forgetting.

Biggest downside is all the good stuff is buried in the app.

He and his wife shut down Dwarfcraft to start a new business together. I can't remember what it was, but they were both excited about it.

Good for them! You can’t inhale solder flux and stare at tiny fuzz circuits forever.

I saw the thread title and immediately thought of my Lovetone Doppelganger. Then I click the thread and the first post has a Ring Stinger in it. I also have their Big Cheese, and had a Meatball envelope filter I really should have hung on to.

Hmmm. Interesting! I thought that was just a multi band EQ. Never checked it out otherwise after seeing the name.

If Lovetone ever came back with smaller format pedals I would definitely pick up a couple more. The Doppelgänger was probably my 2nd choice as I always liked the Bi-Phase idea and at least it was smaller than a Mutron, but also more hi-fi.

Farm Pedals Fly Agaric dual phaser...although I still find the Surfybear interesting, and I bet my non-musician friends would too.

Intesnive Care Audio Fideleater. Simultaneously the nicest chorus pedal and the most bonkers world ending nonsense noise maker. You can even get a nice slap back out of it.

They also have incredible packaging.

^ I love the aesthetics! Like an old Sci-Fi control panel!!

My most interesting pedals are probably anything from Electro-Faustus, especially the Photo-Theremin or the Blackfly. There is so much cool stuff you can do with those boxes, running them through other effects too.
