I'm not affiliated, just a fan. Here's the site:
They're very weird, experimental pedals, which allow for some really cool sounds. Nothing really "conventional", but they're great bits of kit.
I've got one of David's Son of Freakenstein fuzzes and it is just superb. Batshit insane and the best-sounding fuzz I've ever used. Incredible amounts of gain and it sustains for ages, but doesn't make even the slightest noise thanks to a built-in noise gate (meaning that you can use it with single-coil guitars without any hum issues - my Jazzmaster and my dad's Tele and Top Twenty love it). The tone is superb and more versatile than the minimal controls would lead you to believe.
The OSC knob controls an oscillating frequency in the circuit, which dramatically alters the sound depending on where it's set. And you can control it with an expression pedal, which makes it sound a bit like a Phase 90 being buggered.
I'm aiming to get a demo of it onto YouTube at some point (or at least a video or two featuring it), but for now here's another guy demoing one:
Go to around 1:10 and you'll hear the noise gate and OSC controls doing their business.
David's customer service is great too - I had a bit of an issue with mine at one point which was sorted out quickly and efficiently, and he kept me posted on what was going on throughout.
Great pedal, cool little company. Recommended.

Thanks for the nice comments!
I'm currently waiting for pcbs for the Dr Freakenstein Bass, which should be killer - will let you guys know about it.
It's got a bunch of bass-friendly features (and more low end).
Been hanging out with a few bassists for a change, getting some input on it - which was fun!
No, really!
