My AD4096 mk ii is scheduled to be here tomorrow. Can't wait to hear this clusterfuck of a project in action.

Bumping because I think this post might have gotten lost at the bottom of the last page. Genuinely curious if anyone has further info on them. It's been bumming me out because the Twosome is one of my favorite pedals. I had bought and flipped used ones a couple times before finally springing for a new one last January. I bet the flipping market doesn't help small pedal builders very much, although it has to be factored in as part of the game.

Yeah it's a decent pedal, but not worth that much. The construction feels a bit cheap too. It feels lighter than the original despite being bigger. Thinner enclosure...

I would think that enclosure would be steel and way heavier. Is it sheet aluminum?

Regrettably, I wouldn't know how to tell the difference. Sorry.

A magnet will grab steel and ignore aluminium.

Yup, a magnet. If it sticks it's a ferrous material.

Returning to the actual thread topic: Sirkut seems to have dropped off the map, though I have no idea if Sirkut made much of a splash here, or if that was deeper into the old noise caves (most of which have long since collapsed).
I made him a logo right before he dropped off the face of the earth. He was going to send me a pedal for it but never did. That was probably almost 8 years ago now at least
