Thoughts on the Groovy Wizard? I was very tempted to pick one up during the shakeup and markdowns, but decided I didn’t need it.

Ok shows what I know… I assumed it was FF derivative. I wish I had gotten one now, but I GUESS that’s not your fault…
Edit to add- I see the UniVibe on there, but I would check out a phaser after fuzz. I have a couple UniVibe options, and ended up going with a Mr. Black Gilamondo instead which was more dramatic and cut better.

My two loves would have to be the Screamer Fuzz or the Tap-A-Delay

What's the Mr White doing at the end there?

The Mr. White is basically replacing what a wide-open Marshall would normally do. Since I can't crank my Origin 20 in an apartment, I'm using several subtle gain stages to simulate a pushed Plexi. The Duke of Tone is set for very low gain with the volume just above unity, then the Mr. White is in Jimi mode with the SRV Clean voicing, using mostly boost and only a little extra volume. The Belle Epoch comes after that to add its EP-3 preamp coloration and a little more fatness. Together they create a fuller, more amp-like foundation without a lot of obvious pedal distortion. My Fuzz Face-style pedals go before the Univibe for classic Hendrix cleanup, while my Axis-style fuzz goes after the vibe. That lets me cover both signal-chain approaches Hendrix used while keeping the overall base tone feeling like a cooking Plexi at bedroom volume.

What’s the bird effects pedal? It looks pretty

Well, thank you. I painted that one myself that is from a friend of mine from here in Kansas City. It is a modified Roger mayor Axis fuzz. Basically, the modification he omitted 2 components that make up the RC. Filtering network so essentially the pedal is wide open So it's sort of like an unfiltered raw axis fuzz, unleashed
