I have a question about the country of manufacturing for pedals such as the B3k, B7k, and Vintage Microtubes. I have noticed that some are "Handcrafted in the USA" while others are "Handcrafted in Finland". There doesn't seem to be a cost difference in the two, so is there any difference at all in tonal or build quality?

They're all made in USA now. Originally the B3K and B7K were made in Finland before the switch. Spencer of 3 Leaf Audio does them for DG and the main difference aside from country of origin is the addition of relay switching and isolated off board jacks for better durability.

^^ Exactly what jmoote said.

The only other improvement is the supposedly improved DI on the B7K but I've not had a chance to compare the Finnish and USA models.

The DI on my USA B7K is quiet and works like a charm.

So they are more or less the same, with a few small improvements once they started making them in the US?

Correct.

In terms of the function, controls, and tone - they are the same pedals.

Okay, thanks!

Fuck yeah 'merica!

Fuck, yeah, effin' 'inland.
