I think it’s hard for many to understand what a juggernaut China is at this point. 1.45 billion people and their cities are enormous and modern. Not to mention the amount of US real estate, agricultural land and 1.17 trillion of US debt they own.

Yeah, it’s truly a world economy, so cutting off others completely has impacts. Kinda what’s slowly happening to Russia. They can’t easily survive in a vacuum.

To clarify, I do gear from Epiphone and Squier all the time in videos. What I continue to stress with some of these other fly by nights, is that it's not just the difference in labor costs, it's the amount of time they spend on the guitar, which in many cases is almost none. Glarry slaps them together and ships them out.
In other news, I can tell by my analytics on this video that YT does not like my title nor my thumbnail. We mustn't criticize any thing China related. It's exhausting dealing with that social justice warrior virtue signaling algorithm they run over there.
I started saying Play More Guitar, Watch Less YouTube at the end of my vids in late 2021 and my views started falling off a cliff. I couldn't figure out what was going on for the longest time. Then I'm like, they are not letting me bite the hand that feeds me dammit!
So now I still have the same graphic that always had those words on it but I say "Play more guitar watch less.." and make a shush motion while pointing to the green screen.
My views are still garbage, but they're up on average around 30% from the more recent valley. You may be right, I may be crazy but it tracks almost perfectly to when I started saying that.

First pic is 68 pedals, second is analog man. The 68 pedals has a switchable high gain option on each side that AM charges more for. Personally, I’d rather buy from AM, but I got the same product (with more options) for $125 shipped vs $345 plus shipping. I received the 68 pedal in four days. I’d have to wait YEARS for the AM product. ?. I played my pedal next to an AM pedal. Zero difference in tone/ sound.

And this is why I just build my own effect pedals.
You can buy the circuit boards from a variety of vendors nowadays.

Got a Duellist pedal for $125 shipped. Took four days to get. The real Duellist pedal costs $350 plus shipping and is out of stock.

Don't worry. If the CCP police come looking for you, just break their legs and throw them off a bridge into your nearest river. You would be shocked at how easy it is to lead a group of people into an easily concealed pit of rusty metal spikes.

Not familiar with that effect at all.
I'm not a fan of gates. ?
I can ask around about the circuit question you have and I'll shoot you a PM if I get any useful help.

He needs to try the 68 pedals clones. Top quality and sound exactly like the originals.... except at 1/3 of the price.
Does 68 Pedals have his own website? I can't find out anything about them?

Here is a screen shot of the eBay page. Looks like he hasn’t done anything in the past year. Too bad… he was a top notch builder.
Here is a cool video too

My brother has a company in China and does business in the US.That's not the point of the video but it is a valid point. Who makes them? A Chinese owned company? We all do realize that any Chinese company doing business in the US is an arm of the Chinese Communist Govt?

Juggernaut? It’s more than that They are global TITANS. Their wealth is vast and reaching into every corner of the globe.
Their military is expanding at an alarming rate, and they don’t bother with R&D, they just steal blue prints from everyone, their new state of the art fighter jet was built off the blue prints for our latest jet. They will soon set foot on the moon.
Whoa…..
