I tend to build more/better/faster when it's for a purpose: the Ukraine pedals got done because of that, and so did this one: an Effects Layouts Great Vengeance.
Fifteen plus years ago I took bass lessons from a really great instructor. After a couple of years with him he moved out to Georgia but we always kept in touch on social media. I reached out to him last week to see if anything was missing from his pedalboard and he asked about something that could do some light distortion where he wouldn't get lost in the mix. I suggested that he take a look at some demos of the D*A*M Ezekiel 25:17 to see if that hit the spot and he really though that would work well for him.
I hadn't remembered until I was going through my PCB collection after talking with him, but I'd bought the board for this a year or two ago and also just so happened to have all of the parts on hand and it all came together pretty quickly.
I got to play with this for about 20 minutes before I boxed it up to ship. While this pedal isn't going to win any "OMG it's totally nutty!" competitions, it does give you the option to dial in a good amount of distortion while keeping the low end present. Since he's a working musician who plays live with multiple different bands I think it will give some good, flexible distortion options while allowing him to still hold down the bottom end.
As for naming it, well, after Ezekiel 25:17 and Great Vengeance, I felt I just had to continue the trend...

). I plugged it in to test and - nothing. I left it plugged in for a minute or so while thinking what to do and when I went to unplug it the IC was pretty darn warm
