Okay, one question.... Where are we going to get the teapots?

 

[MichaelW]

We'll have @steviejr92 make them in his garage.......heh

 

[Robert]

Dang, sold out already.......

Dang, sold out already.......

How many did they make? 7?…

At $350 I have to imagine you’re probably paying $50 for a tweaked TS and $300 for the enclosure but man if it don’t look slick…

Whole product line is a cool look.

Wondering if perhaps this isn’t a tweaked version of the KGR “Arare” pedal (it may have been mentioned in one of the videos tbh. Didn’t watch full thing)

Here’s a not-that-great resolution pic of the PCB from the “Arare” if anyone can glean anything from that.

Just a little more snooping. Looks like they might’ve just posted the schematic on their Japanese site?

Single letter label for each control? What is this, a pedalpcb build?

Is there any documentation available?

It definitely looks like that could be the case....

That's at least slightly suspicious, considering they went to the trouble of grinding the face off the opamps.... only to release the schematic containing the opamp part number?

I guess we'll know in a few days.

This is a pretty dang special sounding OD....

It cracks me up how I can just rely on the PPCB forum wishlist to let me know any time a new overdrive is released.

I dunno... It doesn't sound that great to me, but of course online demos are probably the worst way to judge anything!

A friend just texted me about this pedal before I saw this thread. My first thought was "where do we get the teapots?" too!

"To build his enclosures, Keijiro uses a centuries-old forging technique called nambu-tekki. Nambu-tekki is a craft that is closely associated with Japan’s Iwate prefecture and is best known for producing beautiful cast-iron teapots. Using a forge that has been in operation for over 200 years, Keijiro adapted this technique to create the beautiful enclosures he uses for his effects pedals. Now, modern technology and ancient craftsmanship have come together to make our limited-run Lollar Overdrive pedal!"

Ask your foot that when it lands on it!
