You can get the identical 3PDT switch from here for less: (shipping’s less too, I buy all by 3PDT’s from arons store.)

He makes some ok sounding stuff and he does seem like a nice guy, I was just using him as an example. His assembly is very poor though, well it was/is but lately, like the past month or so I have seen some better enclosures being done. Its the circuit assembly and wiring that is horrid though.
If people are happy paying 150-180 for that then that’s their concern. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much for a cobbled together pedal by someone who’s only been making pedals for 2 years or less.
If he, and some others, just spent a little more time on quality and precision they would have an ok product.
What I said still stands though. I know a few overnight solder jockeys now classified as respected “boutiquers” and I know other guys who have been designing pedals for over 30 years and are EE’s who get little to no recognition for their contributions to the pedal world.

Its that kinda thing that bugs me to a certain degree, seeing inexperienced people sell there “quality products” to the public and get all this recognition and respect yet they know basically very little about building pedals, they are just tweakers.

I could sell my pedals under my own name, they would look and sound a shit load better than some of the stuff on the market today but I don’t want to be classified as one of them people I’m complaining about as I haven’t been making pedals for 5 years yet, although I have been into electronics since I was a kid. If I were to sell my pedal designs I would license the design out to another company and have it be totally anonymous. If no company wanted to do that I would consider making them myself but that would take a lot of procrastination and consideration.

I have no problem with DIYers selling pedals, that would make me a hypocrite as I’ve done so myself in the past. There’s some really good quality stuff out there like skinpimp, John Lyons, SUF etc they put in some real effort in their production and deserve recognition for that. Its just the crookedly drilled enclosures, paper decal, taped up snapped of perf board, and spaghetti wiring pedals I don’t like seeing people pay $180 for , its a rip IMO!!!

If you’re gonna make pedals, do it right and have some pride in your workmanship and patience in your work!

Yep, saw that one. if I had the money I would have payed it but I didnt as I’ve just bought a new sovtek in the last few weeks so my big muff fund is low.

I’ll get it up again and get a CW eventually, I’ll just sit on the money.

What about that idiot that said his CW was all original except for being TB by keely and it took him (keely) 25 hours to work out how to TB it, did you see that? Its bullshit as I could TB a sovtek in 10 minutes when I was first getting into electronics. SO unless keely is a complete idiot this guy is full of spin.
Then you see gut shots and all the original militarty styled wiring harness is gutted and replaced…all original my ass.

I wont buy modified muffs, I’ll by broken ones (depends whats broken though) but never modified ones as there’s only a few people in the world I trust to touch my big muffs with a soldering iron and I’m one of them.

Yeah I saw that but some had faults/were modified.

Kit, strangely enough I’ve never asked you this, how many big muffs do you actually own? I own 10 working ones/12 in total and I know you own way more than me….so how many? 30? 40?

Yeah, even with the battery door i still need to use clear tape over it so they are pretty well useless.

I never knew about the two different sizes, what muffs the other size for,CW, RAOD???

If you wanna find out if its different, take the knobs of,unscrew the pots and switch flip the PCB and take a good pic of it then we can tell you if its just a stock muff or not.
