Component selection leaves much to be desired as well, probably just me though. I despise those Chong capacitors, and companies that use the cheapest possible eBay components and then feel they can charge the same amount as companies sellin well built effects using great quality components.

I think it bothers me even more that this approach works in our industry, you don’t have to go any further then pro tone pedals to see that.  Denis should not be able to get anywhere near $300 for a ts clone that actually uses far worse components and less of them. Ignorance is bliss I suppose., like the Jeff loomis signature OD, the guy actually had the balls to use a fake JRC 4558 and the same components as this effect, then charges $300 USD for it.  The PCB he uses for all of his ODs including Keith marrows signature model is just the gauss Markov board🤬.  After selling those shitty pedals for this many years he still hasn’t even made his own PCB.    

Just goes to show all that matters is marketing, so long as you can take someone else’s hard work and stomach calling it your own
