I'm waiting for parts, but once I get everything I'll be embarking on a few adventures of my own:
1) Adding a feedback loop to my DD-3 delay (each repeat adds more of the looped effect, flanger/chorus/whatever pedal/etc)
2) Shin-ei companion fuzz fy-2 clone, the harshest noisiest fuzz ever created...see jesus and mary chain psychocandy.
3) DBA total sonic annihilation clone: saving myself 200 bucks on what seems like a great beginner project.
