Okay here's the way I understand it, this is not official.

V1 = what you have. Original version.
V2 = same basic thing, but instead of EQ Bypass, there is a Mute switch.
V3 = the current version. Smaller box, one button, one mid control.

Here is the page for V2:

Again, this is not official and I could be completely wrong :)

If you want to get technical, it's 1.0, 1.2 and currently 2.0 but you're right, the one pictured above is the first one, I liked it better of the first two, EQ defeat is nice

Been using my upgraded Squier bronco in my jam sessions the past few days. What a surprise on how good this thing is for such little money.

only defect is my string tree is screwed in a little wonky.

I installed a lace sensor red pickup and built a new wiring harness for it.

My original plan was to put a fancy pickup in it since the route is so big but the lace is pretty friggin awesome.

Just thinking out loud here but another pedal that strikes me as could use a gain and volume control. I mean what if I want that high compression and harmonics? If unity is at the beginning of the taper it's going to have to be pretty loud to get that compression. don't know if the rest of my signal chain can handle that kind of gain

The pedals have all arrived so the refresh is done. The Messenger is on utility duty, being the DI and general board EQ so I can just leave the SV-Pre to do it job. Picked up the tip of trying the compressor after the Pre from this thread and it does work really well so that's probably where it's going to stay. Tuner > SV-Pre > Comp > Rattler > Sidekick > Messenger

I’ve never been a huge fan of single knob boosts, but I like the sounds of this Fliptop boost. The urge to buy is strong, but I think I’m going to refrain.
