I have this.
Then I look below and I don't believe it:

Now there's a couple of things; an original, built by Mr. Hermida which I don't think mine is. Then there's Hermidas and Hermida by Lovepedal where it all gets confusing. Some have the light in the top of the Yin Yang symbol, others at the bottom. Some have Hermida Audio USA under the Zendrive script, others don't. I haven't had much luck sorting it out, does anybody have an idea of what's going on and which version is what?

Good luck figuring that out, I’ve thought about it before too as the D Drive pedal I make os based on it. I know Love pedal bought the rights to build the official ones so guessing there must be a premium for a pre love pedal version but it looks like there’s Red dot, V1, V2 etc. Good luck!

Yeah. damned if I can work it out except to assume I have the soon to be discovered $100 version. :roll:

Based on the images you provided, it looks like you have the V2 Gold - it's the only one which seems to match where the LED is. I have absolutely no idea how to verify that though.

Oh wait, looks like the Red Dot Edition also matches.

And that Reverb page doesn't cover all the variations I've found. The Facebook one that just sold was all black for instance.
Welcome to my mystery.

Definitely through hole. Knobs, switch and jacks have to come off to look at the other side.

Latest digging suggests mine could be one of the first of the Lovepedal production run; or one of the last pre Lovepedal Hermidas... :roll:
The geekery continues.
