The Syle pedals?

I've seen a few references to the Green filter around here but I am hoping for some more general opinions of these pedals.

I had a Mind Eraser fuzz for a while. Kinda sizzley or crackly, a bit trebley like a good 60s vintage fuzz. Was best on guitar.

Anyhoozle, the build quality was a bit shaky IMO. The battery was held in place with a piece of cardboard, etc. Sometimes the LED would stay on, when it wasn't supposed to (or was it the other way around...)

Maybe they have gotten more pro in their approach... this was an older pedal and I know the company took some time off (or whatever you'd call it) and then started back up again. They do make pedals that seem interesting, for sure. I'd say if you like sound clips, give them a try, open the box up, and report back. Build quality is not as important as sound quality, in the end.

I have The Green Filter. The build is sketchy and sloppy, BUT, my own wiring/soldering is far worse. It is a unique design as far as filters go and was inexpensive on the used market.

I've had a green filter on order for a while now, it should have shipped three weeks ago come Tuesday. Having said that, when the thing gets here I have high expectations of its sound based on clips, and won't lose too much if i sell it.
