💖 Stay Alive ✨ Top Five of '25 💖

Again at the request of forum members, we have arrived at that time of year.

✨ ✨ 💖 Top Five 💖 time!!! ✨ ✨

Now with sparkles.

The rules are simple: what are your top five circuits this year? Not 6, not 10, only ✨ 5 ✨.

You decide the criteria: ranked/unranked, could be best of five categories, could be most used, could be what pushed your playing, could be of PPCB, or none. You can provide rationale, or just a list, up to you.

The idea is just to see what people have been impressed by. I'm always curious and have built MANY happy circuits from suggestions last year and the year before.

And the five limit intentionally pushes you to impose filters. I find it actually difficult.

Off we go!
 
*built this year

*Nutty Fuzz - I did not know about the Ugly Face until after I built this. This is very much my kind of thing. I don’t see it leaving my board anytime soon. I’m building a 3-knob version because I always leave the BLEND and THRESHOLD all the down.

Schadenfreude - It makes the list yet again. Really not too far off from the Ugly Face in terms of timbre, but different enough to keep both around.

Muroidea - I feel like I went all around the world in terms of dirt over the past few years. And I landed back right where I started- stock Rat.

*Schutone DM-3 - Simple controls, sweet sounding delay. I’m still trying others, but so far this one takes the spot.

Squidward - I don’t think I can have a top 5 without an octave up. And like the Rat, after a major deep dive, I’m back to the green ringer.

I'm not sure how many I did get finished this year... It feels like about 25-30 builds or so but my favs:
Chucks' mods on the Bass klon, Mach1, a slew of sunflowers for friends, little green scream machine with mods, and electrovibe... I've built multiples of all these but I keep coming back.
