I've owned most Mellowtones. This wasn't the one that caused all Eric's trouble.
It was the Supa Chan the bigger better version of the cc/dc

Too many orders taken, too many people feeling their pedals weren't made in a timely manner. A builder that gets tired of all the abuse. The old story. The first version is much better just because it's so simple... trimmers inside. I'd buy it for sure if I could for nostalgia alone
