Sometimes you have a circuit so unique, so revolutionary, so AMAZ1NG that plain old goop just won't cut it.... So what to do?
How about seal the circuit inside a metal casing filled with epoxy? That'll stop 'em.

Wonder what their epoxy budget is.
I have to imagine that for those of you with the know how to reverse-engineer circuits that this must just seem like even more of a motivator to trace it out. That's how my mind works, at least!
And then I wonder how many builders do this to hide the fact that they just got someone to pay $350 for a Tubescreamer.

I had to know what "PTL GOD" meant. The first google response pointed at 80s disasters Jim & Tammy Faye Baker.

Reminds me I’ve been meaning to pour some clear epoxy on my centaur build as an homage

Exactly what I was thinking. No way I’d buy a pedal that I can’t repair (or have repaired), I don’t care how good it is.

You ready for the best part? There's a charge pump in there and no polarity protection.

That's one way to cover your mistakes

Design flaw?..... or planned obsolescence?... I’m not just brown nosing here, but I have been pleased with the quality of product you are turning out, And the community platform and resources has been awesome. I highly doubt I will ever buy another production pedal again, .unless it’s a smoking deal or something very different or original.
I find that hard to comprehend that they would do that when it's one of the most common mistakes when pedals have different Voltage & Pinout
that cause a failure!

Is there any update about this pedal?

It'll be in one of the next restocks. There's a huge backlog of low stock / out of stock boards to be reordered.
