Here's a pedal I built for my buddy Ryan (everyone's favorite scientist!).

It adds yet another mode to the Phantom Ring! Some of the craziest, glitchiest, funtime tones you can think of!

I wanna hear it! Oscillation plus ring mod equals crazy noises. I really want to hear a theremin through a ring modulator. I really want to hear a theremin running through a pog through a ring modulator.
Oscillate

Tommy spoiled me with this pedal! It's awesome in every way and Darren and Bloo, you're too right, I ended up playing around with this pedal for over 3 hours last night.. just left it plugged in and I kept sneaking in guitar breaks... and every time I found new sounds!
It does really cool octave up tones, really cool super fuzzy grindy tones, really cool octave down/oscillator glitchy stuff, and even a really awesome fat bassy overdrive tone that just sounds cool as hell. I love a pedal that covers crazy noises to really solid tones, it's really versatile.
Gets along really well with single coils, humbuckers, and active pickups sound great too. I was using it with my clean channel as it has tons of gain for really ripping tones but I was pleasantly surprised to hear how well it played with my distortion channel too. Through the distortion channel I can get all kinds of cool sounding heavy tones including my favourite kind of guitar tone, that really ripping grinding filtered tone that synth rock bands like Orgy or the Birthday Massacre use.. love that sound.
And as if all that wasn't enough, it looks super badass too! The way Tommy does his finishes is brilliant and the build is beautifully done, it's a work of art in every way and I'm really proud to have it.. thanks again, buddy!
When the aliens come for us in 2012 it'll be coming with me, they're gonna need to hear it.

Thanks so much, Ryan! Reading that made me so happy.
Because it's not in this thread, here's the custom-spec'd #1:

Ryan's is #2, technically the official/production version (though it's not in production).

What's up with the light under the knob? Saw that on the Fuzzhugasaurus...anything special about it or just cool looking? It's real cool looking.

It's a pulsing blue LED that flashes with picking intensity and setting...there's a lens over it for effect. It's how I mount them on the painted customs.
