I feel you. A (non Sushi) pedal I ordered last christmas was stuck in Dutch customs for months until it finally arrived in March. The pain is real, hang in there!

I had to re-stock on some boards I was running low on for August builds, so it seemed a good time to pick this up.
If that’s what I think it is, I know what my next Sushi pedal will be.
Well Elementary sounds freaking good. Like Dr. Wattson is going to be borderline obsolete. The clean tone is absolutely there, and even without that extra gainstage that DW has, with the gain dimed you still can get a very usable moderate drive tone. I'm going to find some time, maybe this weekend, and do an A/B with this and a full size DW and compare them. Because it's seriously making me consider pulling one of my better selling pedals.
One of my tidier layouts too.

I'm down with getting an Elementary once it's added to the lineup.
I'm excited the Elementary is turning out so good, but I would hate to see the DW go away. I understand they would be nearly the same pedal and keeping both would be double the work/inventory but I'd be hesitant to discontinue something that sells as well as the DW.
I like that you have the tube off to one side and, I assume, the controls on the other. I never did care for the look of the pedals with the tube center and controls on either side.
While you’re doing your comparison, could you try using a SH if front of the Elementary as a boost to see how that compares to the Dr Watson?
I was about to suggest the exact same thing! Maybe test a generic "clean boost" pedal in front of it also.

I agree......my 02.= try and come up with a tweak to Dr. Watson to make it less redundant/keep it relevant.......perhaps Sherlock will be the matching compressor.....
It‘s exactly the same for me! Also waiting on the HW UA in Germany, also no tracking update since 6th, so also suspecting it‘s still held up in customs in Frankfurt.
I had another order (no electronics) from the US arriving 2 weeks ago and it was only like 1 day held up in customs. But I found out, that you can use the USPS tracking number as DHL tracking number after it passed customs and DHL is in charge of delivering it.
But until then, DHL doesn’t know about the tracking number, which is still the case now. So it‘s most likely that the guy who calculates customs rates for fx pedals is currently sipping Mochitos somewhere in the Caribbean while being on vacation.
Well it looks like I will need to put some in-stock pedals up for sale soon. I made a big impulse buy yesterday that I probably shouldn't have, so I need to cover it before my wife looks through the books 
It was a lot of money for a pedal, especially since it's a pedal I already know how to make, but it's my favorite pedal in the world and I decided that dammit I want the original, if for no other reason than nostalgia.
So I'm focusing on August builds as well as a couple repairs/mods that have come in, but I have 10 or so in-stock builds that are ready to go, just need to be put into the site.

All that explanation and you’re not even going to tell us what pedal you bought?Well it looks like I will need to put some in-stock pedals up for sale soon. I made a big impulse buy yesterday that I probably shouldn't have, so I need to cover it before my wife looks through the books

I would consider buying an original Klon if the price was right, but I would probably never use it. Never cared much for the Klon sound.
The Soldano GTO on the other hand, that is my sound on guitar. My (now discontinued, except for the DIY version) Black Eye is my take on the GTO, and I never play guitar without a Black Eye. Recording, casual bedroom jamming, playing with friends, songwriting, it doesn't matter. My guitar doesn't get plugged in unless a Black Eye gets plugged in with it.
So....what are those in stock boxes (asks the guy who needs another pedal like a Bedouin needs a grain of sand)??
