Any day now is what I tell myself....

Also, there's another thread here, we occasionally bump it, bitch for a page or so, then lay it to rest. Then repeat. And so on like that.

Here is what I know. Blackbird got pushed back...yeah it keeps getting pushed back. This one seems like a solid reason. He is still tweaking the circuit for consistency, and as anyone who has seen the innards of a PLL can say, that is a major workout. He is also gonna do an all in one enclosure thing, with the pll, drone and, other switch all in some folded enclosure with some nice wood ends and all that. Word is April.

To help get some funds to get the enclosure and boards and all that, he is releasing this fuzz pedal...I'm just gonna put the ad copy down here with a pic. He said a demo would be up in the new year.

‘Introducing the 5KVNQW0RK5 EXTERMINATOR, a -9V germanium fuzz pedal that has its roots planted in the same soil as one of the first fuzz pedals to enter the early 1990’s boutique renaissance. After backbreaking and ulcer inducing research at the 5KVNQW0RK5 reverse engineering facility, we have recreated this spectacular yet seldom heard circuit to once again give you the opportunity to experience it first hand for yourself. Capable of delivering a palate of tones reminiscent of the classic arbiter units to taking on a character all its own. High gain with a tight mid section and a defined low end that will make you feel like you’re whipping an electrified steel sonic cable right over the heads of your audience. Order your EXTERMINATOR today!

Features Include:

-Attractive internal wiring with a handcut and dressed perforated board based circuit stocked with the highest quality components including: Nichicon, Sprague and Xicon capacitors, Hand selected and matched Germanium Transistors, Switchcraft 1/4 Jacks, Alpha potentiometers and Brushed Aluminum Stereo Style Knobs.

-Hand applied Blood Red Sanjuro-inspired graphic on a White Sparkle, high quality 125B Enclosure.
(black graphic on pink sparkle & black graphic on charcoal sparkle also available upon request)
Dimensions of enclosure are 4 5/8" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

-Powered via a NEGATIVE -9VDC external adapter or 9V battery (not included)

-Lifetime Warranty for as long as it takes your pedal to outlive you
