Nah man, you did the right thing. I wanted to post here but I was being extremely lazy. I said to myself someone would post in this thread in the morning.

That's a different circuit though. These are just in smaller boxes.

Oh and for some reason they only seem to test strats, who knows why.
It is DMM XO http://www.thomann.de/gr/electro_harmon ... ry_man.htm
its already out, not much buzz around it, supposedly its out in Europe for now.
Also it is supposed to be the same, but people who heard it say its not as good as the original, but that could be false.
The XO DMM is the DMM retooled for European RoHS compliance (regulates use of specific parts), that's why it's only available there.

Interesting. I didn't realise that it was specifically an RoHS product. Same about the Graphic Fuzz or is that just the DMM?

Well as much as that there is no lead solder and stuff. But the parts will be the same value, just made of different things.

I would assume it is a small minority of the the parts that have been changed, switch for example.

I'm less an expert on the different circuits (you should come join us on the EHX forums) -- I believe the XO Graphic Fuzz is pretty much the same, and I believe the RoHS has a few changes more than just the solder.

My sense of humour was left on the road after it got knocked out of me.
