Happy birthday Mr. Astronaught.

And yes, that would be one insanely killer birthday haul!
Psyched with this update as well. Empty spot on my board that's been anxiously awaiting the BF.

Same here, are you putting your's pre or post fuzz? I'm thinking of doing lstr>pharaoh>Black forest, using either the pharaoh or black forest for my main tone and the lstr as the super low end booster, but i think i'm going to need to play around with it first to see where it fits best.

Not sure, I'll have to do some experimenting myself as it'll probably have pros and cons in both positions. I'd like to run it post fuzz and boost the shit out of everything but the Pharaoh is so good running last in my dirt chain and taking whatever abuse I throw it's way...
We'll see very shortly it seems!

Sure thing Skipper!

Also, sorry to go off topic again, bt you should hop on the Emperor FB page (if you haven't already) and check out the wall pics. HOF's new stacks are up, OMG, fucking gorgeous!!! Some of the coolest finishes I've seen yet, I love the two-tone stuff they're doing now. Also some nice pics of the amps, particularly the one Indian is about to road test.
OK, back to the Black Forest....

I've seen em, those HOF logos are hot makes me wish our band was big enough to warrant putting our logo on our cabs. I'm hoping my cabs make it up there since it will be their first 3x15 in that size enclosure.
I'm curious to the gain of the black forest, wondering if it will be better for my main dirt tone or if it will really be better for over boosting the pharaoh, im really excited to get my hands on this.

They are all shipping early next week, the pcb's are populated he's working on actually putting them all together. As far as i'm aware of he doesn't ship until the batch is done to keep everything fair.

No problem! So am i! I'm so impressed with Mark's products that i'm having him build me a custom dual pedal. I love that this pedal is an overdrive not just a fuzz and it has the rotary depth knob, this pedal is gonna be epic! I know one of the test pilots and he wouldnt tell me much other than....
