Infanem scaling down/discontinuing pedals

You guys see this?
In the spring, Infanem will be transitioning from a full- to a part-time operation.
Part of that change will include trimming down the product line and the following circuits will be discontinued when my stock of PCBs for each is exhausted:
Compact Faye Sing B
Second Voice
Second Voice Deluxe
Improbability Drive
I have between one and two dozen PCBs remaining for each before they are done for good. There will be no updates or redesigns for these pedals.
I've spent the last four years with Infanem as my main focus and, while I'm still very much interested in developing and building circuits and will continue to do so in smaller volume, it's time to start working toward other goals as well.

Probably allow more focus for that to happen. Surprised the second voice didn't make the cut.

I'm more surprised about the Faye Sing actually, it hasn't even been out for very long yet.
The new Second Voice really was no match for the old one soundwise me thinks.

I kind of disagree. The new one was great, just different. I thought it was a hundred times more usable on bass than the older versions. Sad to see this.

He's probably nixing the labor intensive builds?

Maybe you, me, and UG should just road trip to PDX and see if we can't convince him that a three unit run is totally worth it.

Didn't Ken move to LA awhile back?
Anyways, this sucks, I have enjoyed Ken's work for quite awhile.

Well Devi getting out was probably a good choice for her.

Ken's pedals are rad. Sad to see he's stopping the 2nd voice. I loooooove my blue one and I've been meaning to try the newer one for a while.

Hope no one goes stupid and gouges prices. I need the second voice. Hopefully the boards last til next year.

Doesn't leave much to his lineup
Maybe that means new designs that will be limited production runs.

Glad I got an Improbability Drive while I could. I need to get more of his pedals, so good.

This is sad because fewer infanem pedals but I wish ken the best of luck and happiness with new endeavours and I'm glad it's not a total shut down
