I saw this in the guitar center flyer. Exclusive guitar center pedal for a second I thought madbean had a pedal in guitar center now because they used the same font madbean uses.
I haven't seen the pedal but it looks really cheap. the tone knob is one of those little plastic trim pots. it looks really similar to this washburn distortion pedal I saw at target for $9.99. I wonder if it is smd.

If it's Lovepedal, I doubt it's SMD. Those little plastic trim pots aren't all that bad actually. They're on quite a few of the ZVex pedals, like the ooh wah and seek wah/trem. At least, I think they're similar.

It's actually a different font. I used to have that one but I forget what it's called. This is what "mine" looks like:

I think it's called 'Pimp Daddy' ;D
Fitting.
the reason I suspect it's poor quality is becuase it is a guitar center exclusive so I don't even know how much lovepedal actually had to do with the manufacturing.
I have those trim pots on my crybaby from hell and 2 of the 3 are broken, thats why I don't like them especially on the top of a pedal where they can get stomped on. there is no reason not to use a regular pot in that spot.

I had the washburn pedal for a week. It is all smd so I got rid of it. I was hoping to mod it to make something cool out of it. it was terrible construction. the knobs are on a different pcb with a ribbon cable tack soldered to the main pcb.
Thats to bad, I thought at least the case,led,knobs could be recycled and worth the 10 bucks. O by the way how did the soloist distortion sound
i have that washburn pedal and while I don't use it, i think it sounds pretty good compared to some boutique pieces of trash. SMD or not, its how it fits in with your rig.
I have a couple of the Washburn pedals, the blues one and the soloist. They seemed pretty generic sounding to me. I have them as back-up pedals just in case something dies at a gig.
