Favorite Effects?

We all use distortion. But what other digital effects do you like? (example: wah pedals, dive bomb whammy pedals, octave whammy pedals, phaser pedals, tremolo pedals, delay pedals, etc)

Overdrive, Chorus, Wah, a slight Delay, and Reverb! I love Wylde's type of tone.

I build my own pedals, so I can get a much better tone than stock pedals. So far I've built a delay and phaser, and the delay kicks ass - its got a cool self oscillating feature that sounds like a vintage analog synth

yup - get a schematic from the net, just type in "<rare pedal i want to make> schematic", you might need to get an electronics tutorial on google if you dont know how to read it. to prototype the circuit get some perfboard
eg http://www.winfordeng.com/products/cat_perfboard.php

then order the parts from www.smallbearelec.com, theyve got EVERYTHING youd need, awesome site. there you can buy the enclosures, jacks, components etc etc.

finally paint it up by spraying the enclosure with primer, then colour of choice (car paint works well), clear coat it with lacquer, then assemble the components into the enclosure.

this guides not very in depth but Im gonna do one on my site soon, for now if you want to get your hands dirty buy a ready made kit from www.buildyourownclone.com, they provide all the parts including a ready made circuit board, and have full instructions. all you need is to be able to solder really.
