high voltage ( 24 Volt) valve pre-amps
:lol:

unless they've misplaced a decimal point, that's not high voltage. Not my intent of casting a disparaging light on the build itself, but the marketing department needs to lay off the artificial stimulants.
Well, compared to the vast majority of pedals based on 9v, I think that little bit of exaggeration is understandable.

Personally, Ixe2x80x99m more put off by this nugget of false advertising:
The results are some of the best looking effects pedals out there right now.
Maybe If you squint... or if youxe2x80x99re blind :roll:

UGLY UGLY UGLY... The Case is so wonky/flimsy/cheapass yet at it's heart is LM308 PROCO RAT Distortion...
Got it for free for some super hot singer/guitarist chick friend who was in some "notorious Chicago bands" that now publishes comics...
because it fell apart when she was stomping it frantically on stage during show with her big boots...
so she threw at at me one day when we were "baking" watching horror movies as usual... @ the "Nihilist" Bunker

Truthfully this one isnxe2x80x99t that bad. A bit gaudy, sure, but only because itxe2x80x99s emulating something else that was gaudy. At least all the text looks even.

Ugly? Perhaps. This one has decades of use.

Note old style notch for 9volt clip adapter.
