I own a Guyatone SV-2 Slow Volume. It's rumored to be a copy of the Boss SG-2 Slow Gear.
I wanted to get another Slow Gear for my pedalboard several years ago but couldn't really justify the expense of finding one on eBay or some pedal merchant, so I looked into the SV-2.
I don't like the use of the rubber ring to secure the top and bottom... I can imagine that over the years, the rubber might dry out and the ring crack and split.
So I rehoused the pedal in an unifinished aluminum enclosure and converted it to true bypass.
As far as the EA Nashville, I don't a have what I'd consider a one size fits all overdrive. Instead, I like to have a few different overdrives for different overdrive timbres. The Nashville is sufficiently different than the usual TS knock-off and for me, does its thing so well, that's it's earned its place in my rack. True, as always, YRMV.
Lastly, thanks for the welcome! I actually signed up for this forum four or five years ago, but finally got around to posting. I'd usually just lurk and read the different posts as anything I'd think to ask was always already asked!
