Highly interested, beautiful work.

Hey! I can put you on a hold list and then when I am able to finish them I would hit you up for a yay or nay. I had so much time to get these ready a month ago and then the day job went apeshit. That's finally settling down so I really just need to etch & polish the enclosures and stuff em. I think that will give me some time to make some stickers too. Thinking 3-4 weeks, if that is not enough time, then it may be time to UV print more!

Thank you! I thought he would be great for a quick demo. Couldn't be happier with that little clip/riff!

Sounds perfect, I'll be sure to avoid blowing my gear budget for the next month or so. No rush, I just feel like I would have regrets if I missed the launch.

I planned to make 12 but will probably do a few more. To get it just right, after I etch I need to wet sand with a few grits and then hit the buffer with a couple of compounds. I didn't wet sand 2 boxes last night and looks like I can't skip that step or I will be dissatisfied. So I will see how brutal doing the 12 is initially. I think after that I may do a few smaller batches here and there so it's manageable. So either way there will always be the means to get one. If you have something simple of your work I would def be into a trade. Like anything. The Sinews doesn't have a large part count, they just take time for the enclosure and I'm also pairing up sorted hot GE transistors with GE diodes as with this right combo it just sounds a touch better rather than just plugging the parts in. So it's just time which is fun time for me and not work. All that to say if you have any protos or anything you would want to trade I am all ears!

Oh yeah, that can be arranged. Sounds awesome, I am hoping to have some updates on that front soonish anyway - so with luck we'll be in sync.

Sounds good, I shall be in touch!

Quick update. These are about 99% done. There's 20 of them and think they are spoken for, at least were many months ago, but if there's any leftover I will post here and also going to build a handful more after these go out.

I can't remember if you wanted one! Let me know. I am also finally able to etch your YES/NO maybe pretty soon.

Group pic in the OP bump!

If this was sold in the EU I would have already ordered/reserved one because it is probably the most awesome looking pedal I have seen. Sounding good does not hurt either. Unfortunately ordering anything outside of EU can get ridiculous after shipping/taxes/fees. I occasionally do it but every single time think afterwards that maybe it was not a wise choice...

Hey, where you at in the EU?

For US folks they are $175 USD shipped, $15 of which goes towards priority mail shipping, so the price of the pedal is $160. plus shipping. I know I am shipping one to Switzerland and maybe one to the UK. If you want to hit me up in a message we could chat and see if there's a way to work it out. That said, this batch may be spoken for but I did buy an extra 6 or 7 enclosures to make some more if these sell out and there's any leftover demand. I didn't want this project to take up so much of my time as I have 2 other projects I want to wrap up but I am pretty happy with the artwork, enclosure finish and love the circuit so don't mind making these from time to time.

This run of 25 is SOLD OUT! Going to make a handful more so will post here when they are done in case anyone is interested. I am proud of these little suckers, got some great feedback from some folks who picked one up and I am not sick of the circuit at all which is a good sign as it's been probably 90% of what I have been playing the last 6 months. But with this big (for me big) run out of the way it's time to get back on Cystech V2 and my disgusto fuzz Bath Salts..
