Catalinbread entering DIY market?

Knight School Fuzz

If you want to get your hands on one, we’re offering them fully assembled or in kit form, if you fancy building one yourself. Assembly is very straightforward and requires only a soldering iron, some solder, and proper ventilation; we’ll take care of the rest. What began as an instructional...

Is this a new venture for them or has this been around for a bit?

I've been wondering why more companies aren't doing this given the relatively easy money to be made and also the wide availability of their circuits on the web with no way to stop it.

I'm not sure what the relationship was (if any?) to Catalinbread at the time, but they used to offer kits under the "Distortion, Ltd" brand.

What a great tag line.

These days it pretty much describes most job situations. F**k it, you do it. Does anyone remember customer service.

It's like Hooters for pedal nerds

It has side jacks, instead of top jacks.

Power on the top, jacks on the side. It's the only way to live. Patch cables love it too!

To each their own. That's the only way to live.
My top jacks don't need your patch-cables' love, 'cause my pedals love cozying up to each other, snuggling on their pedalboard with patch-cables tucked neatly out of the way saving space.

Vive la différence!

Vive la sidejackassery!

My feet are like the chaperone at the 8th grade catholic school dance. Gotta leave some room for the holy ghost because if those pedals get too close bad things happen!
