Any owners google the Sherman Oaks/return address to see which other builder(s) might be involved in this? Zvex is based in Minnesota, btw, but! that's CB's former employer, sooooooooo

So the top three knobs are Output Volume, Input Volume (gain), and Tone?
that BASICALLY is the gravitas. Yeah I've seen the pics of the PCB.

When I signed up for the mailing list, the address provided was just a rental box at a UPS store in Delaware. ---So there's obviously a bit of fun being had by Joel and the other builders to obscure some of the project's inner workings.

There definitely appears to be difference between the Gravitas and Ayahuasca circuits, I just wonder to what extent.

Nope no difference. Totes the same.
Trade you my gravitas for your Ayahuasca.

Anyone want to guess the over/under on the number of these that'll be powered by that weird Strymon power supply that people inexplicably don't use daisy chains for?
I'm guessing 9/10

I had no idea you could power CBAs with a battery. I
do have room for another pedal on my board...

Fuuuuuck, why can't this be a pedal I can actually buy. I need that jungle 'n' parrot sparkly eye candy, and it would perfectly fit my aural needs as well. Not oral. But I would lick it if came coated with psychedelics.

I heard some Australian builder is gonna start building pedals in lickable cane toad enclosures.

I'm interested, but not at 450. No offense but I didn't hear anything from the clip that justified that price.

Yeah, I'd be very interested at a lower price point, but I'm sure the price has to do with multiple people being involved and everyone needing to make a profit on this.
For some reason that board reminds me of a dr. sci style board.
Anyways, props to all the people that made this, it sounds neat and I like the idea of this project.

With the hand painting considered, these are a steal vs a woolly mammoth hand painted.
The wm has maybe 100 parts and no programming whatsoever.
