Last year I got inspired by all the Mike Campbell YouTube content and put my best foot forward in building a Cameltoe-like 2 in 1. Even went so far as to try it as Campbell uses it with a blackface Princeton and a 5E3 (Mojotone build), and it definitely gets into the neighborhood in terms of the tones I was looking for. The Red Llama side is a PPCB Ample Alpaca and the Green Rhino side is the Aion Karkadann with an order switch between. Fun build and saves money for more projects when compared to what a WH Cameltoe goes for these days.

Ambitious project. I have yet to put two in one. I like gold and I like the concept

Regarding 2 in 1s, I think the cool thing to do is choose 2 pedals that go well together. For example, I’ve done an Aion Malacandra Boost (RC boost clone) and a PPCB Mach 1 for a Nashville setup boost and drive. I have this idea lately to do a 2 in 1 single knob each drive and fuzz because I kind of like the minimalism of it. Maybe a PPCB Crankshaft Distortion and a Mini Muffin, although I do love the Two Sticks of Derm as a one knob fuzz choice too. All are small boards so I can probably fit them into a 1590BB. No order switch needed in this case since i’d be using one at a time as opposed to creating a gain stack.
