Anyone order a pedal from 3pdt.com?

They are selling a Gristleizer clone that is kind of piqued my interest.

Shipping is pretty high from China and I can't find any clips.

Anyone have any experiences, good or bad?

Tried searching for a similar thread but no luck.

I currently own their Regulus VIII Fuzz clone and previously had a Fuzz Machine (both purchased through Amazon). Each pedal sounded amazing the first 4 to 6 months and developed noise issues over time. This may have actually been related to patch cable ends deteriorating or non-isolated power, though no other gainy fuzzes in my signal chain were similarly affected. I kind of wonder about the quality of input/output jacks, dc ports, etc. they use and how well the circuits are shielded.

While I am sorry about your experience, I am thankful for the feedback. That basically tells me everything I need to know (ie how is it possible this Gristleizer is only $99?)

I had made the plunge and ordered a Gristleizer from Make Sounds Loudly as this seems to be a very cool build....

You most likely dodged a bullet. I forgot to add that an outreach email was sent to their customer service department after the Regulus VIII clone began to misbehave, and the replacement they offered to me has not arrived for close to 2 months ... and probably never will.
