I've ordered one. It's on backorder because I ordered a custom checkerboard finish.

Watch this space.

What colour checkerboard did you order, Ratty?  Did you order it directly from Joel?

My CPR is black/blue, and it looks awesome!

I ordered it @ musictoyz. I'm getting the black and white finish. It'll match the sides of my Dean Psychobilly guitar. :D

Do you have a link or a search phrase for that? I can't find anything.

I'd like one, I'm a big Mustang fan.

Hmm, I was actually looking to buy this pedal but was torn between it and the Big D.  
the Big D seems more versatile but the screamer has a 10db boost for leads.

It was a few months on ebay, the guy had 2 for sale, for charity...

it was an actual custom pedal shop based in the USA but i cant remember the name of it :(

From what i remember the car style ones were 1 offs...

Best thing to do is compare em. You won't be disappointed!!
If I had both, I would invite you down to the studio (you are always welcome in any event) and hear em in a band context.

Thanks,
I'm guessing I will hear the Big D from the concert.  The tubescreamer has the 10bd boost for lead but since I cant lead, I will use it for power chugging....until my leading gets better....lol
