3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

I thought about putting footswitch toppers on mine but decided against it as toppers can impart more lateral force on a switch (since they’re wider by design) if you don’t press the switch straight on (which is very likely to happen), it can damage the switch (or PCB depending on the design).
"MARCH // PROTON // EDITION OF 50/50"
Recent change to the website. Guessing there will be an announcement today and drop tomorrow?

Got it.... People are NOT gonna like it, US and Canada is not able to order.
Me, I dont care, I'm not american, and I'm all set on the Proton front.

It's cool it's an international order. I'm happy for those of you outside USA/Canada. The Japanese alternative version makes sense with this Sakura run. It's nice to see 3 Leaf Audio building relationships with distributors, and the Japanese market seems to operate like this. Chase Bliss also has a special distribution relationship there.
Small surcharge to offset distribution: $377. Okay... but what about when the cost jumped from $299 to $333 because of the ink in Royal Proton run and then stayed there in all previous runs? Seems like that surcharge has been baked in for some time. Spencer can charge what he wants, but the logic doesn't always hold up over time. Surely the shipping cost should be increased, not the cost of the pedal. Something makes me think future releases will be at $377 as well lol
The re-envisioned logo as Mount Fuji is an elegant touch on the Japanese version. Spencer always nails the details.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I’m not sure how it came to be that Canada is not international. Were we invaded and assimilated into the USA while I wasn’t paying attention? And if so, why does it cost extra to buy American if we’re part of it now?
I’m so confused.
been waiting for ages for this release and barred from buying it, ok man lol.
It’s logical that the next Proton release would exclude all countries but Canada and USA.
Since Canada and USA were the only countries on the globe excluded from tonight’s release.
I mean, fair is fair … right?

I looks beautiful
like $377 + postage + VAT + import = lots, so that will not be happening, but still!

Not proton related -
If you had to rate the doom 2 vs the darkglass duality, a green Russian reissue big muff (mine is modded to have a mids knob), wren & cuff, cog, and haunt, how would it fare?
Considering trying to get one in the next drop, but I'm pretty happy alternating between my alchemy audio modded green Russian and sometimes duality

I will say that is a sexy looking pedal but $517 after shipping and VAT is too rich for my literal blood.
8 left at 8 minutes after the drop

Gone, it lasted 40 mins, more like a normal drop. This works, hopefully it will replicate in the future splitting NA and international, with better communication so to give heads up to each market. Combined with the large drops, these should not be so difficult to purchase
