Well if you consider Conford to be boutique, then i'd say their Carrera model is one of my favourite amps. It's tone reminds me of a Mesa Mark IV because of how clear the overdrive is. Not fizzy stuff at all.

Mesa Mark IV is another favourite.

That's the only boutique gear i've had a chance to play, because it's kinda in the price range i can afford

I have a fuzz from Catalinbread which I love very very much. I'm tempted to get one of the modified Big Muff clones from DAM sometime too, but I haven't got the money right now.

I don't live in England, but my boost/overdrive/distortion of choice is from an American company, Homebrew Electrtonics. (HBE for short)

I have a Big D overdrive/distortion pedal, a Dos Mos clean boost/preamp, and coming soon ... the TWILIGHT DRIVE!

Yeah, the Semaphore Trem looks very cool, it acts as a controller to my Teaser Stallion too, which is intriguing. But recently I picked up a Moog Ring Mod which I'm using for my tremolo needs these days, so no Semaphore for me!

Hmm...

well I'm in the UK, and I got my Catalinbread stuff from stompox.co.uk - but this company doesn't exist anymore! I believe Vintage and Rare Guitars in Bath, UK are now the UK stockists.

In America, Tone Factor seems to have all the stuff.

Oh!

You're in luck - I just checked Nick (Catalinbread)'s website - they actually have a Singapore dealer!

Hope that helps!
