These are some awesome circuits right here. The Dam Flesh Head is a mk ii style tonebender with a sweet tone/gain control similar to a tone bender mkiii. It is the best tone bender ive ever heard. Built using shielded cable and a set of matched american PNP NOS germanium transistors from small bear. Also added a negative voltage converter so you can use a daisy chain power supply with all your other negative ground pedals (standard)

The Reverb is based on the box of hall reverb circuit- an amazingly versatile spring reverb circuit that uses the belton brick reverb module. This is what all the top notch boutique reverb pedals use and it cannot be matched by other digital technology for perfect spring reverb. Yeh all the tc electronics and eventide racks do really great hall and plate reverbs. But for spring reverb that matches that of a blackface fender (with much more control!) the belton brick is the only way to go. It has controls for dwell, tone, and reverb level.
The Keeley compressor is still one of my favorites of all time. I built this using a NOS CA3080 metal can OTA. Keeley used to use these, but stopped because of the price. This chip really gives you an extra edge with transparency and no loss of perceived treble response. The 4 knob is super versatile and can be used with a mixer as a great compressor for any other type of instrument youd like to compress with analog warmth. I've used it on bass, overhead drum mics, acoustic guitars, vocals, fattening up synths, etc etc. I go out of my way to use this instead of the digital compressors in my DAW.
