In terms of interaction: Tom @FuzzHugger, Erskin @Catalinbread, John @EAExperiments, Stu @Castledine, Matt @NoiseKickFx, Eric @Mellowtone, Bryan @SS/BS and Scott @MA are all standouts for me. List is longer than 3, but I've had very poor experiences with certain flaky builders and it makes me really appreciate the good.

Too many awesome pedals to list. I'll go with 3 fuzzes: Wolf Computer, 4-Track Fuzz & Suneater.

chase bliss, fairfield, and empress. honorable mention to mtlasm and moog

favorite pedals right now are probably the ayahuasca (and every other CBA pedal, really), empress reverb, and my trusty old ps-5. most excited for the new empress dual engine delay, the new red panda, and the new fairfield chorus/vibe thing

I forgot how much I like iron ether and Taylor.
Also digitech/dod is like two dudes.
They are super rad.

Insane.
Real killer--I am excited to see his upcoming pedal--

One day I'll put that AARP inside me.

I'm going to have to go with Infanem. His customer service is the worst I've ever seen. He takes forever to ship. But I just fucking love the 141s, and the Driving Notion is irreplaceable for that clangy, glassy, offensive overdrive that it does. I really appreciate his aesthetic.

Also, SS/BS & Industrialectric

Pedals:

Fuck (waiting on a Pretty Years, which I'm sure I'll love)
Echo Degrader
Driving Notion
This course, a perpetual alternation of determining what is true, and then setting aside this determining, constitutes, strictly speaking, the steady everyday life and activity of perpetual consciousness, a consciousness which fancies itself to be moving in the realm of truth.

I get Nick and Matt mixed up so often, it's crazy.
Both awesome builders and I really need to get around to getting their stuff.

I half expected your most active topic to be ILD.

Fuzzhugger is definitely the best. Tom's helped me out with broken Wolf Computers more times than I can count. The man is a saint. Also, this place wouldn't be here without him. He also makes some of the best fuzzzzzz around.

I have a soft spot for Dr Scientist. He's always treated me well, even when I was flat out wrong. And he was a gentleman the entire time. Highly recommend the good doctor based on customer service alone. He also makes some of the best pedals jn the galaxy.

Aen and Louise are wonderful people make wonderful things. I only have good things to say about them and their pedals.

I'm a huge Mellowtone fan. I'm so happy Eric's building again. I plan on picking up another Wolf Computer and one of his Dunk Tank reverbs. He was always super nice to work with on custom jobs too, I highly doubt he's doing any custom stuff these days.

Basically, any of the forum builders here are wonderful people :group:
