The one on top of the amp is a passive tone control like a Varitone.
On the floor left to right:
Dr. Boogey, It's a Mesa DR circuit using Jfet transistors instead of tubes. Nails the Mesa sound really well.
BYOC Envelope filter is in the middle.
The last one is an Omnidrive. It's a circuit developed by John Hollis. It can approximate a bunch of well-known pedals (Treble Boost, Clean Boost, TS, Big Muff, Dist+, Ampeg Scrambler, Fender Blender, etc.)
It doesn't sound exactly like any of them, but it comes pretty close in a lot of cases. It's a nice tool for trying out a bunch of different sounds to see what you like. It's also nice for stacking. I don;t need two TS's I just need one, and then can play with the omnidrive.
I've gone DIY crazy. The only commercial pedals I have now are a Boss Tuner and NS-2 (the HM-2 is a friend's that needed some repair).
