And so AI is the artist?
Or just by my typing in a few keywords into an AI art-generator makes ME the artist?

Not a huge JHS fan, but I thought it sounded fine. I've only watched the JHS demo. I'm sure I'll eventually watch RJ Ronquillo's demo at least.
As soon as he said it was a new circuit I started wondering what it was based on it for real lol. I've been tinkering around with a Crunchbox style circuit of my own for a while.

@owlexifry There's even more on the other side of the PCB with the pots.
My guess is that this PCB is the bypass switching and a "Haunting Mids" type circuit, the distortion is on the other PCB.

I was ready to dive in... pulled out the other board to read the pot values and decided maybe this one was a project for another day.

Saw this pedal pop up on delicious audio, which tends to be a rather neutral agregator of pedal news (unlike that insufferable guy running Guitar Pedal X), but.... "Never seen before distortion circuit" already made me raise an eyebrow. Hitting the link to the Sweetwater sales pitch, the curling of my face was limited only by the extend of my face's muscles.
"The Hard Drive Distortion pedal, JHS' first-ever all-original distortion, catapults players into a sandbox world of late-'90s post-grunge and early-'00s tones. Flexible 3-band EQ and a Mid Freq selector give the Hard Drive chameleon-like powers capable of achieving virtually any ‘90s-style distortion tone. Sweetwater tests were nostalgic speed trials covering everything from moody post-grungy scoops to the earnest javelin-like upper-midrange of alt-rock. The Hard Drive’s name is an obvious pun, but it's also truth in advertising! The pedal drives hard with an outrageous gain range and generous headroom, capable of transforming any clean amp into a powerhouse of millennial pain. Nearly eight years of work went into the Hard Drive, and the results speak for themselves with a pithy presence that's left us confident that the dream of the ‘90s is alive in Kansas City."

I'm probably being an a-hole but this got a guffaw out of me.

That middle one, the Compaq II was my very first computer. It was novel to have a "luggable"computer heh. Ran MS DOS, Wordperfect and Quattro Pro.....man, I'm old.....I don't think so.
First thing that came to mind was Compaq, but not the vertical drives...
Rather the Compaq II
Perhaps more like an early IBM luggable...
Nawww...
I'm gonna go with my first instinct, the Compaq II in the middle.

Long gone. Went to my father in law when I got my first Windows machine. I played the heck out of Duke Nukem on that thing

My senior year in high school we had an entrepreneurship class that was taught in a computer lab. Some of the kids installed quake on every PC in the room.
For a while it was a LAN party for the first 20 minutes of class. I don’t know why there was so much free time. This went on for months before some kid pulled up porn and ruined the whole operation.
So the JHS Hard Drive. I like how they always make it sound like the design process was like building rocket ship or a skyscraper.

Those are typically outsourced to various other vendors too.
