Here are a few pictures of the Guyatone Chorus. I love those LEDs. And there are a few well-thought-out details, such as the pcb that has connectors instead of soldered wires. All in all a very good and sturdy design. I see why fuzzbuzzfuzz likes the pedals so much.

Very cool I love that design! That should make it easier to work on if it ever needs.

I have been a little busy but I did receive my pedal I will say I really enjoy it and I think its going to be something I use regularly I love what it does

For starters it has
1 in
1 out
9v power
single footswitch
4knobs

More clues soon

Apologies all I’m a little late to the party too, been quite busy squeezing in things before the holiday ends. Back to work tomorrow alas :| .

Anyway here are some clues about the pedal I received:

(1) three main knobs
(2) bright one-colour paint job
(3) not true bypass

And go! :D

Really glad you like it.

This range seems to fly completely under the radar yet my feeling is they’re the best iteration of those original Guyatone designs, colourful too.

For a while the all-white Bass line of these “Tokyo Sound Co.”could be had for cheap here, and of course they were mostly the same circuits with some nifty mods. For example, the Distortion was a spot on RAT clone with a clean blend if you bought the bass version. Which is pretty handy. I don’t have all the series but if I see a mint or well priced example I tend to pick them up.

"4 knobs but 7 adjustable controls" is fairly cryptic. Any chance of another hint?
