Welcome to the Tone Zone
Here's an amazing collection of pedals that I've made myself. I may add a wayward picture of my pedalboard in the future, but at the moment it's in limbo.
Rough Water
A clone of Fairfield Circuitry's Shallow Water pedal and the entire reason I started building pedals. I'd discovered the pedal while working at Guitar Center, when one of my then co-workers had returned a few interesting looking pedals and I'd went to try them out on an extended break. Months afterwards, I remembered the sound fondly and thought basic chorus pedals could fill the void. I was wrong.
Etched the enclosure but then messed it up by sanding too much so then took a Dremel to it to carve back out the pattern.

Yeet
The Small Format Drive PCB from MAE (Mask Audio Electronics). A nice drive that turns into fuzz as you dime it. Building it was a nice lesson in proper drill placement, with the bandage covering a mis-drilled hole and some extra electrical tape covering excess drill holes in the top. The issue was in the intersection between the input jacks at the top and the pots, hence the gross holes in both places.

L.F.Bro
Sent in a mystery box from Different Noises is the L.F.Bro, a univibe-type phase shifter. This is the description from the stripboard layouts given by the builder, by the way. I'm not that good at diagnosing effects. The color it adds to my tone is pretty nice though, which is pretty much all that matters to me.
The enclosure is my first through Tayda, an absolute delight price and quality-wise. Inspired by Electro Harmonix's bare enclosure designs, I wanted something quick to print so I could box it up and could not be happier.

Witch Fire
A clone of the Castledine Wizard, this thing fucks. It's heavy, doesn't really play nice with other pedals, and makes me want to play slower and chug whenever I turn it on. I think this is what pedal people call a feeler -- every time I play it, I'm not sure if I'm having a good time or not, but I play for longer than intended.
This is my favorite enclosure, but I have to keep it to circuits with few knobs. It's so cute but difficult to work with and I've only found it on Mouser. A++ would recommend

Our Lady in Muff
A stripboard layout of Umbrella Company's Mayonaise Fuzz, this is take on the popular Big Muff circuit but with a few options for the different versions that people like. After building this, I'm not sure if I know what the pinout for switches are, as it seems only one and a half of these switches actually does something. But I already boxed this up so I'm never opening this again.
The is a block cut print that I messed up a few times while trying to make more of an anime girl aesthetic. I like the design but probably have to either get some new ink or an additive to lower the viscosity. The result is nicely grungy imo

Sparkly Mess
Made this one for a friend, it's a clone of the Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive, their version of the infamous Tube Screamer but with a clean blend. The guy asked me to make it as gay as possible so why not sparkly pink and blue. Last I heard it doesn't work at the moment due to my shoddy wire work :)
It features one of my favorite hydro dip projects, which is why I included the pics of the sides.
Klone no Jutsu
A klone, spelled this way due to there beind so many clones of possibly the most popular pedal, the Klon Centaur. One with so many versions, I bought a PedalPCB PCB to make a proper pedal for the same friend I made the Sparkly Mess for. This is the first pedal where I realized this friend has an issue with spinning the in and out jacks, making the wires inside either short or break off. He had this issue so often that I also fixed a broken jack in his PRS. Locking washers will forever be with him.
