Not true any longer.
Way Huge Electronics and Lovepedal (amongst others) use surface mount on their stuff.
And while it's a gray area between mass produced and bootweak-ish, all of the Tech 21 (SansAmp, etc.) stuff is surface mount as well.
And I guess that since Cusack builds the pedals for Lovepedal that their designs must be surface mount as well.
Folks get so caught up in the componentry that they begin to fail to see the forest for the trees. IMO, components are really over hyped. As long as the value of one is close to that of another, they should sound similar, especially in a low powered device.
