3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

I get that some folks may have had less than stellar experiences with him at some point but in general I think he catches a lot of undeserved hate/criticism..

I fully agree. It’s really depressing too to see people immediately ripping on him as he’s trying to provide more updates and transparency.
 
As for undeserved criticism, Pike Vulcan overdrive pedals didn't catch my attention when they were released, but i stand corrected. These do not sound like DG pedals, plain and simple. The Vulcan is a great bass overdrive pedal, adds presence and heft, breakup is nice and it's quite easy to remove farty overdriven lows from the signal. And pairs beautifully with my Saturn V. An updated version of these with top jacks would get my attention.

I regret letting go of my Vulcan, really great OD

I don't know if "ripping on him" is what's going on here as much as discussion around the updates. There is no doubt that things are headed in the right direction...and that's a good thing. Let's cross our fingers and hope things continue.
 
Me neither.... I'm relaxed though. European too?

Nah US, I ordered an Octabvre.

Bought one from the first batch but had to sell most of my gear (including my entire pedalboard) after hitting hard times during the beginning of 2021. It’s been a slow acquisition trying to get the gang back together.

Apologies for the impatience everyone

I’m in the U.K. and awaiting notification, too. I’ve ordered a few pedals from Spencer before (Doom2, Proton, Vulcan) and it’s always come through. I don’t mind the wait. The Doom2 is one of my favourite pedals so I can live with labelling issues and a bit of a delay.
