That stomp switch placement!

Hope they don't go to market like that. Gotta have baby feet to not stomp both of those.

A true road warrior would just cut off everything except his favorite toe.

[edit: ugh, srry fr dbl dwn on this one given earlier vid posted (guess searching for "constellation" doesn't substitute for reading the damn thread)]

In the "multi-mode" dirt jawn category, this one isn't likely to light up my fuzzy world, but it's probably on the ILFer side of heinous at least:

Introducing the Constellation of Fuzz.

A multi-mode Germanium fuzz / booster inspired by classic Fuzz boxes of the past.

All analog, featuring 3 NOS Germanium transistors for smooth and deep complex tone with amazing clean-up. A smart switching circuit gives you 6 toneful fuzz / boost settings.

You can select between four different fuzz sounds, a well-known treble booster, plus a custom combination of them.

Available April 2018

Price 259 euro

When was the last time you had enough "toe strength" to fully depress a stomp switch?

Their designs are getting worse and worse.

If only they were solid colors

Not a fan of racing stripe pedal finishes, esp with busy interfaces

Still super intrigued by the TurboTore

It would be better if the racing stripe was the same width as the screen but no they had to fuck that up as well.

my delicate sensibilities are threatened.

You can watch this if you like ring mods and filters and shit, but I'd be happiest if you watched it AND bought a couple.

Has anyone heard more on that Alexander Space Race Reverb? I need a reverb as I just sold mine and Im trying to decide if I should hold out for it

While my opinions on this company are well known, I have to admit that JHS seems to be settling into a groove of making better quality pedals (especially after linking up with builders like Keeley and Cusack).

Granted, I find these pedals fairly boring, but it's interesting to see that he's finally going the top jack 125B route after years of building medium-to-low quality side jack pedals.
