Share the rare / look what I just found

I'd like to point out that it's definitely not a wish list. I start this topic as list of rare/unknown/poorly advertised pedals that I/you find interesting.
For whatever reason...
Please, do not post new releases, demoed by every second youtuber.
If the name of the pedal doesn't show up in forum search results, it deserves to be here ;)
Well.. you know what I mean...

I start with Shroot II distortion/drive pedal from Fuzz Imp.
Yesterday I accidentally came across a demo. I immediately liked the graphics on the enclosure, and after listening to the demo, I think it sounds pretty good.
There are two versions available (at least) - Shroot, Shroot II,



I have no idea what's inside.. LM386.. CMOS.. transistors.. but I like the sound.
 
One Control make some great pedals, and this one, the Strawberry Red Overdrive, is a cracker. I'm amazed that it hasn't attracted more attention. Maybe it's the tiny writing, maybe it's the tiny footprint. But it's a killer full sounding OD which goes from almost clean to distortion, depending on the guitar. I believe Robert has a PCB for this ready for sale any day now. :)

That sounds good, was reading comments on the “shroot”and mentioned it was based on a discontinued pedal “Sonic Titan”

Quick search brought up D*A*M built a sonic titan, not sure if its the same.

Hm.. maybe. it's a ST. Shroot sounds to me a bit like LM386. There's 386 in a ST... But Shroot sound like on steroids compared to Sonic Titan.
 
On the website Justus Gash/Fuzz Imp said the v2 Shroot is a completely different circuit than the first one. It's pretty cool that his pedals have been doing well. I remember when I first saw him demoing other people's pedals on youtube before he was building stuff.
 
GuitarSlinger 87MKIII. I've never seen it before. In my opinion - very good sounding pedal (I wonder how much of this is due to post-production...).

 
There are three pedals I desperately want to find and trace:

1. Flickinger Cranky Atom:

2. Red Witch Factotum (I SO WANT this pedal, but can find so little information about it):

3. Caroline Haymaker (even though they specifically ask for it not to be traced, as far as I can see it's discontinued now, so hopefully they wouldn't mind too much?? it sounds super nice):
