    I can definitely replace the pure sky, but the looper and tuner will be tough.
    Knowing your like of OD's, you could do a Zen Drive clone. They're a pretty cool pedal.
    I have a Mooer clone and a hand-made one I bought off Reverb.

    Which reminds me, I should put the latter back on the board. Haven't played it in a while...

    Oh, and nice job on the phaser!

    Thanks!

    Yes, the Zendrive is a nice sounding pedal (or so it appears from reviews and YouTube). I have never played the real thing but I do have a Zendrive patch in the Xtomp. The digital patches are close, but not the same. At the moment, the Barber CDD I built is doing a great job of covering the low to medium gain range. At low gain with the harmonics switch on, it adds a wonderful clarity and articulation to each note. Fingerpicked passages pop and chords sparkle. Of course this is also from the buffer and orange squeezer. Since adding the buffer I need to keep the guitar tone at 60%. Previously it was always maxed. And I have dropped the treble on the amp to boot.

    I am thinking of something more in a distortion or fuzz actually. I have a design and decals ready for the Warp Drive, just not 100% decided on what circuit it will be. If the Red Llama gets dirty enough then maybe that, but I am also going to breadboard some fuzzes. The Mosrite Fuzzrite looks interesting, as do silicon fuzz faces. Or maybe one of the 500 different Big Muff circuits, but they tend to be more complex and need more expensive sets of matched transistors.

    Oh, the options are dizzying ...
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
