Vertex SSS is a Jack Orman AMZ-FX Boost 2.5

Here's the evidence:

No wonder it sounds good! And obviously no acknowledgment of the debt he owes to Jack Orman!

Sorry for starting another Vertex thread but I figured if someone is going to Google SSS or Steel String Singer and Vertex, it'd be good if they landed right here.

Oh, and here's the Bad Bob Boost, licensed from Jack Orman and sold by Analogman for $50 LESS than the SSS: https://www.buyanalogman.com/category_s/619.htm

Jack never gets enough credit. Neither does Escobedo.

Vertex strikes again! Mason is an asshat extraordinaire.

I built a battery box for about $5.

Vertex strikes again! Mason is an asshat extraordinaire.

Unfortunately he’s not the only builder with a lineup consisting of generously shared DIY designs.

And away we go.

He claims his pedals are original designs, done by his crew of Starfleet Engineers (himself included) to perfectly replicate Dumble amps in a stomp box.
Sure

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

I’m convinced Mason has a dozen Alter Ego’s on here....

​

....btw wonder when he’ll rehouse a Tc Alter Ego and sell it as the latest and greatest delay pedal.

I'm so glad it's not common practice in the pedal industry to take well known DIY designs, modify them a little bit and sell them for boutique prices.

Hey guys, I'M NOT AT ALL a Mason defender. I will never buy a Vertex pedal, but can someone explain to me WHAT EXACTLY in the OP's thread is proof that the SSS is a Jack Orman boost? Maybe I just don't know how to read, but all I see is someone posting a picture of a Jack Orman schematic. Where's the evidence that the SSS schematic is identical?

There’s a link in the other Vertex Dumble thread to a DIY site thay traced the SSS out.

Is that you, Mason?

I've been called only few things worse.
