Did anyone jump on the hype train for this one?

555 units, apparently its thru hole construction. Lazer etched, cute wooden box, velvet bag.
If it is indeed thru hole, the $250 is pretty reasonable

I actually think the $250 is pretty fair.  I know a muff collector ( ;D), he has >100 (OGs and clones).  Some of the boutique clones are in that price range.

Is it gold colored or gold plated? Gold plated seems worth it, otherwise I think it's a bit much. That's just my opinion.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Love how it looks and a purple LED was the right choice! I'm sure they sold out in about a second...

The only thing I didn't like were the knobs, being that the "hockey puck" style EHX knobs didn't exist in the Ram's Head era. It would have been perfect with some gold versions of the various Ram's Head knobs, especially if they randomized it so you would get a surprise unique pedal when you open the box. The "reactor tower" knobs would have been great.

yeah they should have used the bakolite knobs as a minimum, not the hockey ones.

I'm still fixated on 100 muffs.  Plus who are they kidding?  They could sell 100's of thousands of these...

How loud is too loud?  What?

so I grabbed one of these
It sounds really quite good - beyond expectations actually. The build quality is very standard but the casing, presentation and little touches inc the documentation are quite nice additions.

Did you change the knobs out after purchase, or did it come like that across the pond?

Good catch. I swapped them out. The hockey pucks had a cheapening effect and the black pops so well.

Totally agree.

Is it petty to want him to at make more on this alone than ol' josho did on his taken-back-promise of a """project?""" Because I want him to make more money than ol' josho.

Found this on the EHX forums

From the KITRAE website resource, it feels like a mix of parts values across various Rams Head iterations.
I couldnt find the Nano Rams Head or JMascis schematics to compare to. It was meant to be the same as those but in thru hole.
