That's beautifully built. It looks very elastic like it would take an impact far better than a circuit board constructed pedal. Did you write that musical piece? Very nice.
Thanks John. It is an original piece I wrote. I wouldn't say the internals are more "elastic" than a PCB necessarily (well-made PCBs can be very resilient), I think in this case the appeal of P2P handwired for me is knowing that each joint was carefully made and tested by hand by the expert technician who designed the circuit, using the best possible materials. It's a more subjective benefit, but one I feel is absolutely worth it.
I've found it does pretty well - it does sound different depending on where you put it in the chain but I wouldn't say it performs less well after a buffered pedal.
My Les Paul was out of action when I made this video but I've since tried it with humbuckers and can confirm it's every bit as good, just like a gritty, dynamic overdrive with a vintage-style fuzzy edge and if you've got a PAF-style neck pickup then you're properly into fruity Santana territory.
that's a really pretty circuit
Isn't it. I love this pedal.
The internal circuitry is gorgeous. I wish they’d do one in a lucite enclosure so I could stare at that point-to-point wiring while playing it 😦
Man, that's such a great idea, I'll pass the idea onto Chris and see what he says, I'm sure that's gotta be possible. With LEDs inside!
@@MaxRossell yeah that would be awesome.
One word “awesome!”
The pedal or the video or both? :) Either way, thanks so much for watching and commenting!

It looks beautiful, and also quite simple as a circuit. I’m guessing this means it doesn’t play well with buffers - but can anyone confirm?

smashing pumpkins anybody?, sounds great
Anyone tried it with humbuckers?

Sounds more typical of a distortion pedal. A good one. Almost like a Rat in the right toggle position
It is a bit Rat-like, but where the Rat can get a bit fizzy if you're not careful this has a really well-balanced high-midrange.
@@MaxRossell cool. So not really a fuzz.
