So great manufacturer cloning... Whats new. Probably great build quality and at $185 each I'll build my own ;-)

Agreed. Im guessing these would be fairly easy to DIY right?

who know you have to look but if you DIY regularly how many things can you do? buffer,tone, gain, gain, gain Starve, shape... nuff said. Based on the Youtube they are all clones of a sort so none is rocket scuience. You probably have done them already... One looks liek a Musket, another a scrambler and so on... They are most likely surf mount... But $185 for an smt pedal with $20 worth of mnf costs including BOM at that volume? just a guess..

Ready available I'm sure ultra consistent.. have to see the guts but that's my take... they are a total buy at $65 assumign I am right. But WTF do I know :-) I could be way off. they could be point to point but if they were we would have got gut shots in the vid and a big nod

A :-)

Wanted to try a few of these in Tokyo but didn't see any in stores, and I looked in a lot of stores.

Gone is the need

Gone.


:picard:


I know I don't know fuzz like a lot of people here do, but this seems silly. Also, I get the use of Chinese Elements. Cool. But Void is an Ampeg Scrambler??? :no:

also, it might be my poor talking but $199 approximates into $200, which is more than one hundred, and is indeed "hundreds"

hopefully it won't takeoff. Or worst case scenario, EHX could clone them?

All I know is I'm GASSING for the one that Phantasmagorovich's mentioned (whichever one that is).
