Well, I'd definitely pay for someone to build one, I'm interested in comparing it to the Dude Incredible, Buzz and Sleeping Dog versions.

Crazy to think Dude Incredible is nearly eight years old.

Caw! Caw!
I like the Dude Incredible IVP side a lot but it has now been supplanted by the AionFx large version. But before that, was definitely considering replacing the DI with the Surveyor since I never really used the HP side and any real estate I can save, the better. But man, this AionFx large version really is great. Large for a pedal but much smaller than a real IVP obviously so not complaining. But definitely would pursue an even smaller version of the exact circuit, if it were possible, which I'm sure it isn't haha

For that big Aion FX one you have, does it have the effects loops? I am going to build one eventually but was looking at the build doc the other night and was wondering if those are worth adding to the build. Or if anyone has found them to be useful in an OG unit. Adding the effects loops to the Aion version requires some simple mods to the circuit board and additional off board wiring but I probably wouldn't bother if not worth it.

No, the AionFX units do not have the effects loops and I've never used it in any of the OG units I've had. Sample size: 1!

It's how I've always wanted any of the real IVPs I've had to sound, seriously. Just wish I could get them to be even smaller but yeah, haha, very funny. The builder did a great job, opened one up and build quality is really great. Super happy I got these.

Are you running them into an amp? I have a pedalboard power amp and I'm wondering how it would be as an amp replacement.
But then I think about how I have a Surveyor and I don't really like it at the end of my chain.

For my current setup that is now up and running, I'm running them into amp sims: Softube Amp Room, the AC30 sim and the Fender Blackface sim. I may not stay with those, just getting started. My initial test with them was into a Frenzel Mini-Bassman with a Tone Tubby speaker, sounded really good.

In 2025 it feels like the only readily available options are the EAE Surveyor and the FTelettronica IVP.

Anything out there on the more affordable side? Especially for somebody located in Canada?
