I do clones myself but to use, not sell. If a friend really wanted it maybe, but I'd suggest they buy the original if posssible, at least if it was in production and by a small builder (who in this case only does email orders and some retail, plus lives just a couple states east). And I don't like that this guy snips the ad copy from the original manufacturer. And has no gut shots. The graphics are decals so they will wear off.

Not judging, poor form but it is what it is. Don't many Americans have like four jobs these days? Possibly baby incoming even.

Yeah I do not in any way support the guy's cloning business or the cheap way he has applied the art. But it's good pedal graphics nonetheless

i do have a nice stable of OD options but none of them are perfect for every single guitar/amp/allowed volume combination.

that said, i had a pretty good sound at the gig last night and that was just an always-on fredric klone into ygm3, with other stuff added as and when needed :idk:

It is the rule of gigs. Loudness = good.

Is there a combination reverb/delay with separate switches that isn’t the Source Audio Collider? I don’t need presets necessarily, but I’m drawing a blank. Preferably with switches close enough to hit at the same time.

i'm reading this thinking “why does it need to be 2-in-1?”. with two separate units, you can switch the order round!

Mostly board space, I need to switch stuff really quickly live and I’ve yet to find a reverb and delay that I actually like both separately and combined.

Yeah the form factor is good. When I tried one I found it sounds good but not unique or hugely inspiring. Which isn't a bad thing at all, oftentimes good is all you need and the chase for perfection is the enemy. Might be my first choice if I needed to have a small delay/reverb though

Well yeah, but if you're going for a pedal like that you need to be aware that both won't be "perfect", that's when you get two pedals. For board space and live situations it fits the bill pretty well.
