LoL. They don't even have a proper board designer, why would they have an accountant?

It looks sloppy but it probably makes removal pretty dang easy.

The fun thing about noisy doom pedals is that you can always claim they are actually supposed to sound like shit, regardless of broken or not. They just have to produce some sort of sound.

Explains why EQD makes so many doom pedals.

1st run of Erupters allegedly had the transformer wired so it didn't work as a pickup simulator. Go figure.

My immediate thought was "That's going to fail", as the pots are just tacked in with a wee dollop of solder. Set your board down with a smack or stomp on the pedal roughly even just a few times and I can foresee the solder crackin'...
Oh, and why would you hire/want a board-designer or an accountant when the marketing team costs so much but does such a great job?

It just looks like it was made to fit either lug or pcb style pots.

HamishR will have a stroke if he sees how crooked that board is.
Think the box is big enough?

I just love their pot pcb footprints.

You're the only one
Not gonna lie like just as a regular pedal buyer without any knowledge of what goes into making pedals, if I popped the back off of a pedal from a company that proudly claims “Every effect pedal we build features sturdy construction to survive even your loudest and most energetic live performances” and saw *that* whole deal inside, I’d have questions.
(and since you change the battery, or mess with the trimpot, clearly DBA was aware that people were gonna see their guts, and were totally cool with that.)

I actually don't hate them.... If I had to remove one of the pots it would be so much easier.
I'm not going to start using them though...
That might be a good idea for april fools, though... "Redesign" some of the most wishlisted out-of-stock boards and watch chaos unfoldI'm not going to start using them though...
