I havent been talking about it lately, but we are VERY close to releasing our Superfuzz reproduction, based on the late 60's Shin-Ei Superfuzz.
here are some pictures:

i played guitar on those tracks, and yeah i didnt play any leads cuz i cant play leads very well. haha. however, we are having latin fusion guitar extrodinair Tom Duarte come over this friday to record some awesome sound clips in all sorts of settings and stuff. those clips should be able to highlight the octave up much better.
when we are ready, we are going to be sending out the specs to the fab house to manufacture the circuit boards, and to the metal shop thats doing our chassis. we are still tweaking the chassis design, and there may be a slight adjustment to the circuit layout, but other than that we are very close to releasing this pedal to the public and i am SO excited.
let me know what you guys think.
