I don't have any info on these except they're made by a company registered as BEIJING INNOVATIVE :lol: LINKAGE TECHNOLOGY LTD. Look like copies but they're using the names of some EHX products so I don't know if they're legal copies or just bootlegs.

these are the funniest to me.

I swore for a second this pedal which I think is a hot-rodded Big Muff said "HIV +", ROFFLES.

I want to try the Graphic Fuzz. The PT-80 delay would be interesting too.

Yo Hurb, caps were sent earlier, envelope securely tapes and nothing left in my pocket this time. My flatmate thought I was sending someone some interesting pills.

They are making a direct copy of the DIY project Shaka Tube?! With the same name!?


Aside, I almost want to buy that Small Clone, I LOVE the graphics on these! Very cheesy and cheapo 60s looking.

Sorry, there is actually a project called the Shaka HV, and it is solid state. I was mixing it up with a variation pedal that uses a tube, based around this circuit. It is a DIY project created by the founder and operator of the DIYStompboxes forum, Aron Nelson.

Isn't the PT-80 a DIY project to, or was it actually based on something?

AFAIK the PT-80 is 100% DIY also.

Isn't the PT-80 the BYOC delay?

BYOC offers kits to build it, but the actual pedal was around much longer than that.

Yep, thats what the Graphic Fuzz takes, they better be supplying an adaptor with that. The EH ones are pretty hard to get hold of.

No doubt.

Anyone notice how quality the jacks look on he Fuzz?

Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:13 pm

Overall the quality looks tops on these.

Stompers look a little lightweight, but otherwise yeah.

Nice screws.

Agreed. However, stompswitches can be changed pretty cheaply to nice ones, so that isn't too big of a deal for me. Are these available anywhere? If I could I would order the Small Clone...clone, right now.
