Anyway, guys, hot tubes? Any 70s/80s EHX you wanna see make a come back?
It has a 3PDT but the way its wired is weird - there is a small cap always in the bypassed signal. Super easy fix (maybe they've changed it now?).
I get frustrated with ehx because it always feels like I'm so close to loving everything they make but no. Despite that I still think they are one of the most progressive and exciting companies out there.
Oh right, where did you find that out? I seem to recall there were some early re-issues that were wired funny (and definitely some black russians) I think they've probably changed that now, weird.

They do when possible, some times the parts just aren't available though so we get re-designs instead.
I can't see any reason this wont be 1 on 1 to the original, except they might bring up the input impedance but that's no bad thing.

But would a radioactive fuzz be a bad thing really? In theory...
AND I JUST SAW THE KNOCKOUT HAS BEEN REISSUED AS WELL WTF WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
Dude, that's been out for like... 5 years at least

PS: Mike Matthews is on record saying v7 muffs weren't actually made from recycled tanks. It's urban myth and folklore.
They were made at a plant that had been used for military contracting; so yeah surplus military parts were used, but were limited to the electronics inside...

No I know they weren't 'actual' tank metal, I should hope the russians weren't trying to protect there soldiers with what we use to kick on stage.
Zipper & Bad Stone are top of my list, Deluxe Octave Multiplexer is probably too complicated for them to bother with when they have the POGs, plus it needs a redesign for some out of production parts.

I have no words for how bad I think this is. The generic description... the photoshop job on that image.... the terrible lighting... They say if you don't have anything nice to say.... but this stinks.

Symmetrical clipping, Green background imagery, Drive, Volume & Tone controls... sure could be.
My opinion of them has now dropped... they better bring out something to make up for it.

Why would they drop something lame like that at the same time they reissue an overdrive that actually sounds cool and a bit different?

I do not know, I remember an interview of some sort about the designers and they said how whenever they'd bring Mike Matthews something new or improved he'd always sound the original sounded better so why not another reissue.
Guess every company has to release a tube screamer at some point...
To be fair, the metal muffs were BOSS HM-2s.
I was reading about stuff EHX had in the pipeline that was never released, apparently there was talk of an 8 Stage Small Stone, that would be sweeet, or a deluxe mistress XO just... not this.
