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.

Capable of delivering a palate of tones reminiscent of the classic arbiter units to taking on a character all its own.

is a kickstarter or something similar might be a good way to make this happen?

That is one kickstarter I'd thrown down on immediately! :thumb:
