This is a pretty cool idea.

A business card that doubles as a guitar effect PCB (or vice versa depending on your outlook).

A card to be truly envious of  ;)

Thar's cool. I bet you have to wait until he invoices you to get the "bill" of materials...

Volume and loudness, wonder what the effect is.

The producer and Converge guitarist's current card doubles up as a PCB, you see. Solder it up, add $40-$50 worth of parts, and you'll have yourself a distortion pedal.

Ballou says the design is called the Brutalist Jr, and when it's released in 2017 under the GCI name.

I've thought about that a few times. If I did it, I would go with the thinner boards to make it more card-like.

Cool idea, though.
