If I can be of assistance...holla. I'm a photoshop 7.0 dude myself and ended up using Affinity. Had to learn vector stuff. It wasn't horrible, but it takes time. Photoshop, inkscape to affinty. I had a sizing mistake my first run and Tayda was forgiving and gave me a heads up. It says a lot they are willing to help a customer out rather than ship some jacked up enclosure. They really hold your hand htrough the process, too, making sure you don't screw up, but it's because it is very, very easy to in fact do so. I would totally use illustrator if it was a one and done affordable payment. Subscription, no way.

Thank you, I may take you up on that! I have an Adobe subscription through work as I need to use Photoshop and InDesign pretty often but have never had to use Illustrator. And since I have always etched and always had a ripped version of Photoshop that's all I have really used. I still need to use Photoshop to create the artwork because I copy and paste bits of things to make my graphics so I just need to learn how to use the image trace function in Illustrator as 1st step. I am glad you are having such great experiences with them, a lot of folks are echoing how great they have been to work with since they've started offering UV printing.

I use Inkscape quite a bit and I wouldn’t say it’s intuitive, not at all, but it is quite simple once you follow a tutorial or get the hang of things.

Glad to know it is in the same ballbark. It really sucks not to have one to compare it directly to. My main concern is the amount of sustain. It's not gatey or farty but it doesn't do the sustain for days that high gain fuzzes do.

from what i can tell in the first two videos it sounds pretty close. main thing is that the high side of it is supposed to go into ear shattering treble really quick, which the video shows it doing pretty well, and then the bass side goes quickly into a completely falling apart thing, which again your video seems to do. also, the thing i obviously can't speak towards as im not playing it myself is that this pedal is supposed to put a microscope on your playing, making it extremely sensitive to finger movements, wrong notes, buzzing frets, etc. and is overwhelmingly unforgiving in that regard (at least with my lace alumitone pickups). i never use it for high gain, so i can't speak to the huge sustain you mentioned you were concerned about it not having at high gain. im guessing the clone will make its way to you in the next week or so so at least you will have that to compare it to, but from what im seeing and hearing it sounds pretty close imo.

Awesome! Yeah you can tell pretty easy where the lows start kicking in. Like 10 o'clock and under is normal and it starts boosting from there. Around 3 your in melt down mode. All the way cranked it was actually doing a reverse gate kind of thing. I am not sure if was the crappy solid state amp and small speaker it uses or what. The highs seem a little more gradual and acts more similar to the low in the other thick switch modes. I used your 720 for the loops! It still has your presets. Cool stuff!!
