Oh, it's going to have labels soon lol, a couple different options as well. My labels will never run away from the pedal, unless you resurface the entire case..
Congrats. Mine arrives (California) today.
Really? matching tissue paper? guess that's better than a pick, sticker, sticker, hemp bag, sticker, canvas bag, sticker, rubber feet, Jelly of the month club, sticker...
Congratulations! I’ve been super happy with the Proton. I would imagine they’ll both sound great together.
but... WHERE'S THE PREAMP?!?!
I really like the matching tissue paper. It's magnificent presentation. I don't care for all the random swag some builders toss in (picks, decals, earbuds, etc.), but--to me--the matching tissue paper is one of those small touches that says "this is a premium product" precisely because it's unnecessary. It's just thoughtful. Nothing more.
It's long been clear that Spencer is all about the little details with his pedals. He seems to value and enjoy small refinements to both the circuits (hence 4 versions of the Proton) and the aesthetics. That's why he got so excited about the steel enclosures in his first update regarding these 9 batches. And why he wrote so enthusiastically about the Royal and Gold colors for the latest Proton drop. It's why each batch has a different color scheme, just as previous batches had their own aesthetics. It would have been easier and cheaper to do 300 pedals with the same finish, but he opted for 100 pedals and 3 finishes. This is another way of highlighting that.
lolz
benefits of being an international customer: your Octabvre MKIII is from the reserved 50 that were not tied to a preamp
International customers don't get the best onboard bass preamplifier on the market with their Octabvres? What a terrible marketing decision by Spencer!
I got to order the Octabvre and Proton when I purchased the Doom2.
At this time, there was no discussion about the preamp.
BUT I still consider getting one, so I would not have bothered having one in the package haha.
« Oh no ! I am sorry, I was FORCED to buy it ! » finally a legitimate excuse to legitimate my purchases haha
Kind of makes me want to move out of the US, get an iPhone, and a passive bass..
That would still be cheaper than buying all three pedals individually on Reverb...
You get it! This drop taught me how foolish a customer I've been all these years. From here on out, if a pedal doesn't include some variety of preamp, then I won't buy it. (And yes, even if the pedal itself is a preamp, I still need it to come with an additional, on-board preamp.) If my incoming Reverse Mode C doesn't include a preamp, I'm sending it back to Joel. If the upcoming PLL drop doesn't include a preamp, then Josh isn't getting my business. Preamp or bust!
Hey gang, my neighborhood independent shop has an older Doom for $250 if anyone’s looking.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
Tried to buy it and it wouldn’t let me add my shipping destination (Canada) now it’s gone from the site. Lol.
Sorry - I snagged it. It'll do as a stand in until I can get my hands on a Doom 2.
