    This proves a HUGE point Josh is trying to make - a circuit is a circuit. There is no magic sauce. There are no secret angels making something sound more better. Specs is specs. $99 or $2000. It makes zero sonic difference.

      What's with all of you and this ikea crap? Lawyers? Lawyers for what?! He didn't steal, their trademark. He's not copying their products. And if you mean "some assembly required" then you obviously have zero real world experience because thousands upon thousands of companies sell stuff with assembly required. You can't sue someone because they copied your idea of requiring customers to put it together 🤣
      You people are full of nonsense. There is NOTHING IKEA about that pedal and the only reason it's even talked about is because this entire community is nothing but an echo chamber or a cage full of parrots, all parroting the same thing they heard about the ikea reference over and over. Just like all the nonsense and foolishness that gets repeated by the community over and over and over.
