The new El Distorto.
Two distortion modes - one of them definitely more 'bit crusher'
Cool asymmetric metal enclosure
Locking antenna jack sockets
True bypass
Drive and Volume knobs
9v battery or DC in
Narrow footprint on pedalboard
Comes with a rockpick for extra attack and bringing out those high zingy harmonics...
Have look at

Might help tidy your cables?! They securely lock and are solid as hell...

My only concern would be for tight tiny boards, but the cables would let you hide them under a Pedal Train!

I think it's good on a tiny board... There's always a 'no mans land' of cables above pedals - at least on mine there is.
The antannae cables go inside the Pedal Train?? That would be neat...

Yeah, like in between the spaces of the rows, they could tuck under and be almost invisible!

We're about due for a Bérurier Noir tribute band. This should happen.

I get it! Antennae! Tasty guitar sounds and stage diving!
It's a french thing? Yet somehow international...

Hi David!
I was wondering if El Distorto would complement DrFF-3 in someway.
Also, what a nice offset shape you designed, it is more appealing than before!!!

Wow - I've not tried El D with the DrFF-3 yet... That might be quite extreme
Glad you like the enclosure.
I'm kind of going through an offset spell at the moment...

OH FUCK, IT'S A FACE.
Here's to the most original-looking pedals out there. Keep doing things.
