That’s ALOT of wire.
I could be wrong, but I thought you wanted the shortest wire runs possible?
Maybe the blue wire is the toanz?
No SMD though as stated in the ad copy. Would’ve ruined it I’m sure.
SMD meant stripboard mounted deification in this instance.

That’s not a well enough executed build to warrant trash talking SMD!

The only real deterrent is being so turned off by the guts that you no longer care to find out how it works. (Cue descending slide whistle)

Nah, it's this one.
I knew ahead of time it was going to look like that.... but to be fair, it does sound great.

No, for that one they slapped a single tone control on the end of a Soldano SLO and swapped two component values.
Somehow it works better than having the full tone stack...

How close does this sound to the Golden Falk (Colombo Plexibreed)?

Hmmm..... It's been so long since I played with one of those I really can't compare...
I think this one has quite a bit more gain, but honestly I don't remember pedals I plugged in earlier this week and it's only Tuesday.

Never judge a book pedal by its cover enclosure.
I used to think that my veroboard layouts and lots of wires are not suitable for professional use. Until now.
Anyway I will continue to use wires with different colors just to make mylife debugging easier.

This is a prototype right? He's not really shipping these out in the wild like that?Hmmm..... It's been so long since I played with one of those I really can't compare...

I've seen three, they all looked like that.
It looks terrible but the PCB is about as secure as a Boss pedal when everything is put together...
With that said, I really really really don't want to trace this stripboard.
I don't mind goop, 4-layer PCBs, SMD components on both sides, caps with the values melted off...... but I really don't like stripboard.

Here's hoping these pedal builders are not listening in on this...

Imagine switching from sophisticated and automated PCB manufacturing to fricking stripboard just to annoy @Robert
I wouldn’t put it past 29 Pedals.

Couldn’t even put real rice in there? Just that boil-in-bag shit?!
