Title: Think somebody at Supro saw Jon's Cardinal

Demo sounds really good, including the distortion. Love to see what's inside it. Description says the volume stays unity as gain increases. I'm suspicious it's VCA based.

I'd guess VCA too. I don't think a company that size would make something optical or FET based -- much less both. We have a few luxuries in the DIY world. :P

But LOL @ "Class A amp."

They are, but they claim this is an analog design.

they also claim their overdrive isn't a copy of the supreaux because they threw a tiny audio transformer on it so .... yeah
