You'd feel a bit silly if this fell over.

Disturbing enough that someone is trying to sell for the price but what is really disturbing is that some fool will probably buy it. :slap:

In my view, Any pedal with goop is to cover up how Bad the design ,, not how Good. :evil:

I see 3 ge transistors, 3 large green caps and a few electos in the pics. It looks kind of familiar. Surely not worth the price.

for that money i'd get any Apple product,which is also unfixable,but i could get more things done out of any of them.
I don't think there exists a single guitarist who gigs and gets paid enough to afford it,that would use this box.
The most you can see is sometimes a Klon or a Cornish once in a while,the more important the player,the crappiest the gear
