Title: April Releases - UPDATED
Post by: madbean on April 20, 2016, 12:45:45 AM
April releases and re-stocks are coming right at the end of the month. There was a bit of a change to what I thought was happening - both the DigDug and TotalRecall are being re-stocked now. Seems better to have some TR in stock with the Xvive chips being available at smallbear finally.

The Cave Troll is being pushed back. This is because I'm not happy with it yet. I thought I was a couple of months ago but it just isn't there. So, I will work some more on that and see what I can do. Instead, we will have a 1590G Fuzz (basically the '69 with on-board voltage inverter pictured here - http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=19684.msg219321#msg219321). The Weener Wah has been updated to a 2016 version. This is a more basic wah without the JFET booster (but it still has the notch switch). I decided to go simple on this final version of the Weener as I am also working on a sub-mini tube wah for release later this year.

Finally, I'm doing at least one run of 1590A muff boards called the Rabbit Hole. Plenty of other 1590A Muff boards out there but I thought it would be fun to do some too since I have not released many new 1590A projects in the last two years. Here's a pic of the proto (built to Civil War specs).

Lastly, I'm thinking let's do another Free Shipping weekend to coincide with the releases/re-stocks. I'll get definite dates on everything by early next week.

PS I do not have any updates on any other projects in development right now (someone always asks :) ). I will provide some updates very soon.

Nice!  I took out my G-board last weekend and the pedals all sound really nice in my live rig (Lab Series L-5) and in a setup similar to yours I just used a daisy cable and One-Spot and the whole rig was dead quiet.  The only pedal I'm missing is the Stutr due to a screw up in ordering the SPDT switch.  There's some nice cross-over between the distortion and overdrive and even the PT chorus (I thought the slight delay would drive me nuts) smears both clean and dirty sounds in a really cool way to get some tasty double-tracked sounds.  The compressor was worth the price of the whole board set and I'm starting to warm up to analog style echo.

Long ramble but the point was that a fuzz will be a nice addition.

Awesome!  I need to pick up the fuzz to round out my baby G collection.

I hope the re-stock hasn't been delayed.
I really want another couple of Moodrings to play with.

The boards are here as of today. Not totally sure if I will get things up before tomorrow as is. It takes a long time to inspect 1000 PCBs (it was a big order). In any case, the restocks and free shipping will start tomorrow at the latest.

Here is a pic of my final Weener. I'm pretty sure this is my first "stock" wah (I've built two or three other versions of the Weener with lots of mods). Man, it rules! The Whipple works really well here.

I'll be really busy shipping orders the next two days but I expect to have demos up on Wednesday of the three new projects.

How would a weener go into a rabbit hole?

Just a note of thanks - the free shipping weekend sale was a big success! I expect to have most of the orders out today, so if you have not received shipping notification you should very soon.

Tomorrow I will work on the 3 demos of the new projects. Also, I still have some PMs to answer which I will do ASAP.
