Got this from Richard Carwright of Chunk Systems

We now have working prototypes and our distributor Godlyke had one at
NAMM a couple of weeks ago. Final metalwork is being printed at the moment
so that we can take some product shots and get some info up on our website
in the next couple of weeks. We expect to be shipping units in April or May.

I also saw a post on TB saying someone had been around to the
Godlyke booth at NAMM and hadn't seen the pedal. Turns out the Godlyke guys
had it under the counter and were only able to show it to a few people
because they were understaffed (one of the guys had come down with the
chicken pox just before the show). We'll have photos and details up on the
web shortly though, so everybody can get a look at it.

Very cool. This is one pedal that I'm trying to keep an eye/ear on. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the BMS and especially the Deep Impact.

Anyone have any idea when this info will be up?

My next pedal purchase is between this and the Pigtronix synth coming out. Very curious.

More info from Richard Cartwright @ Chunk Systems:

Very soon. We are just waiting for the screenprinting on the metalwork to be
finalised so that we can take some product shots, and there have been a few
issues printing the new artwork so it's taking longer than we expected. Once
we've got that done we'll release full details on our website.

Have they said what the pedal is supposed to be designed like in any way? I've always loved the EH Bass Micro Synth, but never really wanted a foot long pedal with what amounts to a graphic EQ on top

Well, he said in an old thread that it would have an octaver and be able to store presets. Beyond that he didn't really elaborate on the feature set. I look forward to hearing about the specifics.

Hey guys, let's not turn this into a slap fest on Godlyke. I don't want Richard's willingness to share info with us to turn into something that sours their relationship with their US distributor.

This is starting to remind of those days before Christmas when I was a kid.

Hi Bryan,

We've got printed metalwork now and will have photos ready as soon as we can
book the photographer. So we should have info on the website this week.

IIRC, it's got elements of both Chunk Pedals, ie bits of the filter from the 00funk, and the fuzz from the brown dog, with a new octaver, and saveable presets. It could just be the Deep Impact killer!
