Why do I get the feeling that "great features" wasn't how you originally drafted that sentence?   :P ;D

Haha.  ;D Nah, the additions were good ones. The pedal definitely wouldn't be as cool without them.

Brian and Dave come from a different philosophy of design than I do, and that's partly what works about our oddball setup. Those guys are usually looking to add tweakable parameters, and I'm usually trying to figure out  how to reduce complexity.

There are definitely two schools of pedal buildage that can basically be summed up as moar knobs goood and the simpler the better ;) Lovetone taking the former to a ridiculous level where most settings do fuck all, and when you find a good one you have to take a photo to have any chance of getting that sound again. I have to admit I started out in the former camp and have now firmly switched to the latter.

I would have to disagree with you at least with the Lovetones. I have yet to build/use a Lovetone that had a "non-usable" or "useless" control. Even on the Meatball.... it just took a little getting used to  ;D

It's not that the knobs are useless, it's that it's very easy to get settings that don't do anything on a few of them, and when you do find that sweet spot, finding it again is nigh on impossible ;)
