    In a nerdy way this was fun for me. I worked at Harman (DOD, Digitech, etc.) for a long time. It is fun to see how all y'all do this. It reminds me of the early days, before we automated almost everything. By the end of my time there, 2002, all of our boards were populated in house by automation. Our "pot and wire" department kept doing less and less hand wiring as the products evolved. And ultimately much was outsourced. But, way back when, we did things more like you all do. It wasn't as efficient, but it was arguably more fun. For years we prided ourselves on our sound test department, where each pedal would be played one at a time with a real guitar by a real guitarist, but that mostly went away and was replaced by automated testers. Josh has spent time documenting our company, but mostly from the standpoint of David, John and Tom Cram. But we, like you guys have a fun history of moving from David's garage to "Riley Lane, (fact: Tom Cram's current shop is a couple of blocks away from the original Reily Lane building.) then to Vine Street, and ultimately to Sandy Parkway (which was a huge two story facility). Another fun fact that is cringy in retrospect; we used to do board stuff and solder at Riley and then truck those the few block to Vine Street for pot and wire, sound test and shipping. It was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, It was sad to see DOD go away. Although I never did any of the actual assembly, it was really fun to watch those "artists" work their magic.

    Thanks for the products you built! I was a loyal DOD customer. Supra Distortion was first pedal I bought in 1990. Still have it along with Classic Fuzz, American Metal and Flanger as well as EQ rack unit for my home recording setup. The Classic Fuzz into a Vox AC15 is magic!!

    Great episode! Too bad I didn’t watch it live because I knew the Packrat answer. I really enjoy the normal JHS shows, but the behind the scenes ones I find especially fun. Maybe you can do one on circuit design or a companion to this one where you actually follow a pedal through every stage in the actual workshop. Another fun one could be about secret messages on the circuit board. I opened up my Packrat (just the back cover) and see the little messages printed on the board. But again - very interesting show today.
