We buy the best parts available, period--and in smaller batches, which costs us more.Everything pedal is done one-at-a-time. So how are they so much more affordable compared to other hand-built pedals?

ALSO:
Listen word on that shit. I just contacted another builder who supposedly has "great customer service" about doing a slight change in the finish on one of his/her pedals, and he writes me back (in all lower-case with minimal punctuation and miniMUM attention to grammar) and tells me that he'd have to do a special batch of ten just to do the very smaaaaaaall finish change that I wondered about... one that I know he/she has done in the past because I HAVE SEEN THE GRAIL.
And then but so sometimes I'll e-mail Tom and be like "Hey can I get an extremely bastardized version of your pedal with the goofiest weird sparkly butthole finish wrapped in your wife's hair and also with a cutout of the actual skin that your tattoo is on and also can you make it using only your big and little piggies on both feet except like I absolutely MUST have thirty switches on it that don't really do anything but they feel good to flip up and down and also THE BIG SILVER KNOBS?" and he's like "Sure, dude!"
All for like five bones.

That's cool! I've never tried a Rat.
So the end result makes it probably the widest-range FuzzHugger(fx) pedal.
