What's on the workbench?

Hey buddy why don't you go f..... oh wait, you meant them?

Right, I knew that.

What I was going to say is "Why don't you go to Florida?".... but you're already there.

What kind of dipshit doesn't put their brand name on a pedal? Also it's not a fuzz? PASS

Why would you design a layout that has every component angled at at least 30°?

Number one goal design: keep good frequency of amp classic.

Note: We aren’t in crazy Florida but it’s SLOW down here.

Because preserve classic frequency tone.

30 degrees is the optimal angle for amp like harmonics.

Any less and frequency harmonic not preserve.

I like how the top side hints at a "booteek" hand-etched PCB, but flip it over....

C'mon now I didn't read that shit

I’ll make sure I remove the solder mask and not give a crap about lead spacing if I ever do a production run so I can charge more…

All mine are “only one piece made”. Does that make them special-er ?

The blurb on that pedal blew up bull-sh*t-meter:

“We designed SH-1N with two basic goals. Firstly, SH-1N must not attenuate any useful frequency of amp tone. Each legendary amp in history is perfect from the perspective of music at the time, SH-1N should retain these original frequencies."

I would have to interpret that as "Typical PAF frequency response that dozens of your favorite rock guitarists used."

Even the Toggle switches are Offset!!!

Look Ma, no Microcontrollers!

If I was to put a PCB together like this, I would face the component side under so no one would see it!!!!

This is what the PCB may look like:

Engrish not tongue of Muthur you?

If it's not a Tubescreamer I'll give you $5.

As suspected, it is "just another" Tubescreamer.
The Bold toggle throws in a germanium diode for asymmetrical clipping, the Hollow toggle changes the frequency of the Tone control.

Otherwise it's pretty much stock values populated with dusty old components.

It's not a bad sounding pedal by any means, but there is a lot of hype (and placebo) surrounding this one.
If you like the Tubescreamer you'll probably like it... If you don't like the Tubescreamer you might want to pass.

I have two.

Slightly shy of obsessiveness though another might be cause for pause
