Hey everyone!
Kind of a big day for me (turning 30), so I've decided to buy me some pedalpcb boards as a birthday gift for myself.
What are your favorites (especially the more complex ones, since I love to etch the simpler ones)?
I'm always looking for new and interesting dirt and modulation (mostly phasers) pedals

Thanks a lot!
 
Happy dirtieth!

Get some stacked boards into your life. Viib, low tide and electro vibe mini, etcetera. Everybody loves the phase II including myself but the XC phase has given me a deeper appreciation for the mxr phasers. Especially the 45 setting.

What's the biggest dirt box here? Muffin factory? Legit choice. Maybe the super heterodyne? There's distorting involved. Is the peak of dirt mountain... The Parenthesis?
 
Phase II / Duo-phase if you like phase, the Low Tide is surprisingly musical (but parts can be a challenge). Caesar or Cepheid if you want a chorus.

Muffin Factory is great, a solid choice if you want a Big Muff. I find it can do low-gain really nicely as well as the usual Muff-y-ness you expect.
I like my Jump Drive and Peachtree, Derailer is also another solid one. Sanguine if you want something heavier.

The Parentheses is brutal, but it's a Rat with a boost and octave, those are not horrible to etch up yourself..
 
I like both the Circulator and the Phase II. And I plan to make both again. With some mods.
The Pendulum got me into harmonic tremolo in a wonderful way.
And the Mercurial is such a useful circuit. I wish I had it years ago. (But it is simple)
AND I'm really looking forward to the Fuzz Foundry Deluxe. It'll be my new favourite fuzz for sure. Happy Three Oh.
 
Three decades around the sun, time for fun!

Hoppy Beerday!

Phasers are the gateway drug to FLANGERS!
I'll suggest you grab the 1) Byzantium or 2) Module8.

Happy birthday! I really like the Conqueror at low gain. Very close to some of the Beatles sounds, if you’re into that. If you like crazy noise makers I really enjoyed the Captain Bit. I still haven’t built any PPCB modulation pedals but I’m sure the ones people recommended are awesome.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the valuable suggestions! Now I face the problem of choosing between so many interesting options (and the effort not to go bankrupt)

@swelchy shot you a PM, you're very generous!

Hey, I remember turning 30. Well, actually, no I don't. That was 37 years ago! I just got the Parasite which you can compare to the Tycobrahe Parapedal. So, like, I'm building that because I can't afford $1200 to buy a used one, lol...

Vintage 1970's Tychobrahe Parapedal | Reverb

Tychobrahe Parapedal Tycobrahe Parapedal wah-wah effect pedal from the mid-1970s. A unique and rare pedal that uses dual potentiometers to create the wah sweep. A major part of Tony Iommi and Robin Trower’s tone. Pedal is in good cosmetic condition for being 40+ years old, excellent electronic co...
