This looks pretty nice. Will definately try one out next time I'm down Denmark St. Even if there's fuck all in the box, it's such a nice design it deserves buying. I'd really like to take that mushroom switch apart to see if it's just an actuator resting on a board-mounted switch or something higher spec.

I've searched for demos and the only one I could find is some twat playing it through a distorted amp (of course) and a shit Boss rackmount delay(!)

£130 on Thomann!

it's pretty cool. and I do like the design of the pedal. I don't get what the the other little knobs do though.



also, I like that there's an XLR version. I wonder how it sounds for vocals, etc.

There's the knob on the front to set the boost level. The two switches at the top are two different kinds of boost (s/d) and buffered/true bypass (tb/ts). I've got an mxr microamp clone with a buffer in my rig that does the job this pedal would do, otherwise I'd be right on it.

On a side note, I've found a manufacturer of similar mushroom switches and am exite!

can you get them in 3PDT though? or can you only use them with FET type switching?

I'm building a CMOS flip/flop latching relay driver for true bypass, purely to satisfy my pervy curiosity. It'd be ace to be able to use any fancy push-to-make switch for true bypass.

RG Keen is a genius, look at this science:
