Will Dr. SciEntist outsource their products to bigger outlets in the near future? I mean I LOVE the doctor's stuff and have hope that more people will be able to hear about it.

Welcome to the forum, cakey!

Do you mean are we going to have bigger outfits build our pedals for us or are we going to sell pedals to bigger chains, like Musicians Friend kinda places? Good questions!

We already get some help with our builds from an awesome pcb manufacturer in Ontario and the awesome 4 Site Electronics and their box driller and finishers in Oklahoma. But I'm still gonna build them all.. I love building them!

As for working with big chain stores, I doubt it.. I really like working with independently owned operations. And I think it just suits us better at our scale and our way of working.. I just plan on adding more shops like that. We're up to around 25 now and I think by this time next year we could handle several more. So yeah, one day, our pedals will be in every independent guitar shop in every city, maybe even tomorrow. *scary music*

Thanks for the love and rightbackatcha!

Hey doc! Btw, I've been told in my first thread you have a beef with catalinbread? My apologies if I'm stirring the pot :s And yes I meant something like Musician's Friend or PGS :thumb:

Nope, no beef... he can come over to my house and drink my beer any time, we're buds.

I have to tell Twin Town Guitars here in Minneapolis to start carrying Dr. Sci, I'll bring my newly acquired RRR in there and give them a little sales pitch :lol:

You should dress like your avatar when you do...which includes the switchblade just in case they refuse to listen to reason.

I have beef with Dr., Scientist. He refuses to pass the blunt to the brother on his left.

Dirty pool, Mister.

I keep telling Ryan that Rock Block guitars in Nashville needs his business. Just saying, buddy, they like you. Just make the first move. :lol:

Much appreciated, Mike! I think we'll stick with American Guitar and Band as our only store in Minnesota for awhile though, they move a lot of pedals and I love working with the owner Cory, so I wouldn't want to step on his toes with another local store.

Well now I have beef with you because I have never bogarted anything in my life and I never would and I'm hurt deeply to the core. I'm like Chappelle in Half Baked, I even pass to the guy passed out on the couch.

Yeah! We're gonna be in that store one day for sure and I'm excited about it! We're just slow to take on new dealers... we still have issues with keeping up with orders.

Well Maple Grove isn't too far of a drive either (I love living in the suburbs in summer) I'll have to check American Band and Guitar out, never been there!

I think we are all kind of forgetting Ryan and Tanya can only make so many pedals at a time, as much as we'd love to have them at all our favorite stores.

Now if they could just learn to work without needing sleep... :idea:

St. Louis needs a dealer! Killer Vintage is the only solid candidate, not much in the way of cool gear stores out here.

I WILL FIGHT YOU!

The only rules: I get to use a baseball bat and you have to walk on your knees and use your hands to cover your eyes.

Because, fair is fair.

First off, great work for referencing Half Baked earlier in the post! :lol:

I think there is only one logical solution though. Just send me all the enclosures and parts to build your pedals, and I'll build and give them to Rock Block for you. I swear I won't keep all of them for myself. :hug:

(Alright, maybe "swear" is the wrong word, because I would definitely keep them for myself.)

Ol' batty-crawly style fighting hey? Pretty old school.. I'm impressed... and I'm in. *puts on fighting headband and wristbands* I should probably go first with the bat though, since I'm older.

Haha yeah we definitely have our limits. I could probably use some help with the builds but not very many people want to work all night in our basement watching horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies. Sounds sweet to me though! :idk:
