The Zvex Super Duper Boost Pedal

So, recently I've been upgrading Lewis Wstson's gear on Equipboard and I met this boost pedal called Zvex Super Duper. The thing is that I've seen there is a red model called SUPER DUPER 2-IN-1 which Lewis uses and is not on Equipboard and a SUPER DUPER 2-IN-1 VEXTER which is on Equipboard but seems to be a different model. I searched them on the Zvex website and the size is basically the same and the instructions PDF too but the color and price differ. The question is: Should I add the new item to Equipboard and link Lewis to that, or keep the existing item because they're basically the same? Links to the pedals: https://www.zvex.com/products/super-duper-2-in-1-1 and https://www.zvex.com/products/super-duper-2-in-1-vexter

as i am sure you are aware the super duper 2 in 1 is 2 super hard-ons in one box with an extra attenuation pot between them so you can really tailor the way the interact... the difference between all the many versions is the artwork only... there's been a red SD2in1 and a silver one int eh vester series with screen printed graphics and then the fancy verson is the same pedal but hand painted, one of a kind (since custom paintwork will certainly improve one's playing)

interestingly, both the box of rock and distortron are also dual SHO designs but with tone shaping and the BSIAB2 tone cotnrol sandwiched between. The BoR has an additonal SHO for the boost section whereas the Distortron does not, however the Distortron has the subs switch which selects between 3 input caps to tighten the abss progressively froms tock BoR to something clsoer to a TS9 or SD1. But all of these pedals are basd on the same basic building block which is a mosfet gain stage from an old microphone preamp.

If I'm not msitaken even the box of emtal uses the SHO building block as a major part of its circuit.

To me? I could give a shit whether someone has a hand painted one or a silk screened one. I don't even think the BoR and Distortron are so different. Slightly different feature set and build quality.... and paint job LOL. But some might care so create an item for the hand painted Super Duper 2 in 1, sure....

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Thanks a lot for explaining this to me, I think I will create a new item and update the artist's gear!
