Well if the order can be filled quickly, you'd probably have exactly 'that' in a few days. DIYing a replica could take a bit longer.
It would be cool to just have 'someone elses' premium toy !! :D Not like you seem to need encouragement, but I'd like to hear a clip and crotique of it !!! ... maybe a couple more pics...
Outward appearances are great, I like the knobs on the front side and remote switching, the contents and text: [power supply Incld.] 'Gain Bass Mid Treble Volume' I guess is all you really need to know prior to owning one...I didn't see any hints as to what in it.
...it's a curse you see, the curiosity thing, feeding it input only makes it grow...now, it's at the point where, as soon as I see a box...I think...I wonder what's in there...can I figurethat out without opening it?

To have a pedal built by the guy who made the American Woman sound would be very cool indeed! 8)

Not to jump topics, but I'd love you hear your take on said book when you've given it a good reading.

That book is on my to-buy-in-the-near-future list. :D

I would love to hear what you think of it too, Aron.

What is it supposed to do? Is it a tube preamp like the McTube or something?

So, is this the "Hertzog" guy? Man, that guys been making amps for quite a spell! Is this a tube unit too? I've been a Bachman fan forever, and a Guess Who and BTO fan. I believe Randy took the Hertzog with him to BTO, because I can hear some of the in their songs too.

Yep, same guy. 4 all tube gain stages in there.

Well, I've never heard one bad word about his amps. That's gotta be a good sign. 8)

I would love to read your comments about it.

But the rumours are that you would need a Garnet amp to match it...

Are you ready for that???

Hmmm...Footswitch not included. Does that still count as a pedal?
What if I put my rack on the floor?
