Interesting. I wonder how the “M” and “C” variants they will continue to manufacture sound?

Side note: I see already a hierarchy appearing in used sales of TS and SD-1s based on the specific 4558 chip installed with the more sought after chip variant commanding the higher price (presumably related to age dating the pedal AND sound).
