So, let me get this straight. This "thing" in the pic is not the Symbiote, but it's a dual BB, called the Siamese BB. Ah... What differences do they have? The Symbiote and the Siamese I mean.

The idea behind the Symbiote is to enable the user to run two external loops in parallel and have a clean blend as well.
the Siamese Bluebeard (which will unfortunately not be called the Sword of Conan because i don't want to be misleading) is a pair of Bluebeards with a series/parallel switch and tone bypasses there may be some other switching and tonal options but i realize after answering several emails that there are some bells and buzzers that were going to be on the Symbiote that should be integrated into the Siamese such as clean blend and a choice between an active and passive loop. I also now realize it might make sense to offer an older idea which is a single Bluebeard with an external parallel loop.
This is obviously an R&D thing that will take some doing so if you are on the wait list and thinking of getting one of these and want to wait, don't. I always have people asking me if i have any used Bluebeards for sale so I will work out a very generous trade program for ALL Bluebeard customers but for those presently on the list that are deciding it seems the more awesome thing to do to give 100% trade in from a standard to any of the other versions that come out as recognition of your patience (the 100% would only apply to those parties on operation waitlist as of this posting @1:14am 2/29/12). So i will make some awesome stuff but i will re-re-re-focus my energy on finishing up the list.
any suggestions for options are appreciated especially what you would like to see. Each of these can be modded to your specs example: maybe you want stereo in and out because you use a Ric-o-sound type thing. Everyone will be very happy very soon (i very much hope so)
Also Sir Papalampraina because i didn't post pics and info as promised (got too ocd and i didn't want to just slap directions up i wanted diagrams and pictures) if you ship it to me I'll upgrade and ship it to you for free. this is mainly because you sent such awesome postcards to my kids Thank you !!!

Nah no worries, just post the pics. I have a couple of gigs and don't want to part with my BB.
What I would like added in a BB? I think I want a Siamese one, because I felt the need at one point to have two BBs with different knobs and volume, so I could use the one as a booster.
Actually I want the Siamese as well as the Symbiote. I can wait so put me up on both lists please. Then I could make a pedalboard only with Bluebeards.

Actually... Connor and Duncan proved that two can co exist. So here's your Siamese BB.
Add that Methos guy and there's the classic BB too.

Wow, and I've been wanting to run two blue beards together. Would love to do a trade in but I don't think I can ever let mine go.

Any news on the shirts Sonny?

Any plans for a distortion pedal to complement the BB fuzz?

The shirts keep getting pushed back as do other projects because I lack focus.
I formally commit to summer time shirts.
Mr Dazedbyday please pm me your address and I will ship you a choice of stickers and a sharpie accompanied with phases to write inside your magic #400 pedal

-use this fuzz to fight the vampires xoxo Sonny
-use this fuzz to fight the zombie horde xoxo Sonny
-use this fuzz to fight the Viking horde xoxo Sonny
-use this fuzz in battle xoxo Sonny
etc etc

I have actually been doing alot better with production because I finally diagnosed some rig issues and I am 99% G.A.S. free so I haven't lurked the bst in awhile.

No plans as of yet on something classified as a "distortion" there are some ideas in the sketchbook but I kinda need to get anyone that wants a Bluebeard taken care of ASAP because if someone is in three serious bands during their life and the best one only lasts 3 years they need what they need pronto so when they contemplate what is best in life they have their desired sword in hand.

The search for an OD that I am satisfied with continues.
The rub is that I am already running slightly dirty with the old school G&L pre. I have a VFE Pale Horse at present that does a very versitile OD and I have yet to try the Elements.
I have some things on the drawing board but there is a very insightful TBr who loaned me his prototype that if he dails it in the way i am hoping I would buy his and/or license it at the very least recommend it highly.

Short answer (falling asleep while writing this.)
Yes but only if there is a clear superiority that justifies owning it over all the other good ODs.

Has anyone here tried the joyo OCD copy?
Ahhhh crap crying baby!
Good night
