This little pedal packs a punch. Nbabmf did an amazing job cloning the Zvek SHO pedal I have been drooling over forever, and then he goes and etch's the thing so now not only does it sound amazing it also looks amazing. It is in a nice small enclosure with a plug for a power supply and the knob has the customary crackle to it. It goes from a subtle clarity increase to full on heaviness. What more do I need to say, it will give you a SHO. PM this guy and get one for yourself.

It was a trade. I'd have to deviate a lot more from ZVex's design if I were to sell one. My conscious might let me sell a cool little etched ENCLOSURE, as those things are a complete pain in the ass to work with and I would not wish it on anyone hahaha.

Here's a gut shot:

Quick question...did you happen to build this using this layout from fsb?

I'm getting ready to try out one of these, and that's the one I was planning on using...

That one does work fine but if you're using vero i'd go for the one with the onboard pot available, just to save hassle.

I used this smaller layout so it would fit inside the 1590A. I ran out of vero so I used perf.
