anybody know if those jewel lenses on that thing and, like Spaceman jawn, are the same sizes as the ones that go on amps (like 1/2" I think?)? Or are they some smaller size?

We have built this pedal to be very dependant on the dynamic and on your playing.
We have tried to find some materials alternatives in the aim to be conscient of our ecological impact.
This pedal is made of noble materials. The stompbox is manufactured in US Walnut which grows up in Europe to reduce carbon footprint.The US walnut is very interesting first for its tint composed of black grain. It offers a superb aspect once it is nourished. Its medium density allows an easy machining while staying very resistant.
To create some relief and work with textures and colors, it is covered by a Pinatex slice. To remind leather, but without hurting animals. The Pinatex is made with pineapple leaf fibre. It is an agricultural waste product.
For ecological reasons, each pedal is polished with not chemical treated linseed oil. Cold pressed here in France.
Linseed oil allows to protect the wood. We advise you to pass an extra oil layer each year to preserve your pedal for a long long time. We provide a little can of wax to better protect The Ranch and to make it sparkle. It is made by us in our workshop with beeswax and linseed oil. The beeswax comes from a local beekeeper. We also provide a little pad to apply the wax. These pads are made by hand by the wonderful BCFQ here in Angers. Each pad is GOTS certified (ecology and social responsibility).
Each pedal is shipped in a recycled cardboard box to go on this ecological way. Wrapped with linseed string. The Ranch is protected in the package by forest wood fragments. We wanted to highlight the natural products like wood and our local partner Valdéfis. The wood fragments come from a collect done in our country and are locally crushed. It is the first time that this packaging is used. The little extra is that you can use the wood fragments as mulching for your plants or your garden.

I love how so many companies take this line vs actually using recycled material.. Here is a idea.. Get something like a flashing break and some scrap sheet metal, you could even cut up car hhods and doors.. And make old style ehx style enclosures..
Also aluminum knobs.. I know you guys love the stuff but unless they are melting down thier own pop cans it is not a eco friendy material...

Yeah this is total BS. And they're still making essentially useless products the world doesn't need.
The definition of environmentally friendly

Oh man, poor Collision. I think they were well-intentioned and really never meant to unleash this kind of evil upon the world.

Yeah, not to derail this too much but that is something I think about a lot. Buying a "green" product is still worse than buying nothing. I work at a screen printing shop and lots of manufacturers are hyping up their products made out of eco friendly materials or whatever. That is great and all but deep down I think the real answer is "YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUCKING TEE SHIRT / COFFEE MUG / TOTE BAG etc"
Although if everyone else thought that as well then I'd be out of a job I guess.

"YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUCKING T-SHIRT" is a great t-shirt design.

This is the great and forbidden truth about society. We don't need 99% of this shit, but we are so invested in it that to cease production would mean mass starvation, because most people exist to produce and consume. So the ultimate product is one which eliminates those who consume it. That's why someone needs to come up with a t-shirt or pedal made of fentanyl
