Looks like if you preorder you pay the extra or wait til the drop on the 31st and pay the usual price
Looks like the 33% is a premium for.pre orders and it will go down to 333 at launch
Aye. Just saw that.
Tricky to call. I can't justify 444. I can barely justify 333 but I have.
Not a horrible way to do it. Kinda like how Noble does their preamp. Pay extra for a rush, or get it at normal price and wait.
Not really.
When you order a Noble and choose to wait, you’re guaranteed to have one. If you pay more, you have it sooner. In both cases, you’re not in competition with the other buyers.
3LA’s new system is : all pedals are available during the preorders. Those that have not been preordered yet will go for sale for the usual $333 : you are guaranteed to have one for $444 or you can try to get one for $333 - if it is still available - but you will need to be quick.
In the same boat. I will likely order to a friend in the US to hold for me until I get over.
He might not be “good at business,” but I wouldn’t be surprised if he made it into college business books… about what not to do to kill your business.
“capitalizing, scaling up, money grindset” is the least of his issues.
The Darkglass fiasco, the racist comment, calling potential customers “cheap imitations of a musician,” bundling his pedals with preamps nobody wanted, the face plates crap and now charging a 33% premium on a premium-priced pedal and calling it a “preorder”?
I’m probably forgetting some, and who knows about the things he says and does in private. I emailed him about a broken Wonderlove that was still under warranty. That was years ago… 2017? He refused to fix it, saying his pedals don’t break.
As someone said above, he’s lucky he has Lefebvre and Ian and others backing him…
I can’t wait to see what he’ll do next!

We watch with great interest.
When you can’t look away I guess it’s good marketing.
Well, I am not the target market. I think I saw that phrase used in the Mantle thread. Briefly tempted, but nope. Frees one up for someone else.
I second that. I was looking for the January (or February) drop, $333 was borderline due to EU tax and Shipping, but man, $444 is now a no-go. I will wait till 31st if any units are left tho (but I doubt it).
Same here, was thinking to finally try to get one even though I don't really need another analogue octaver. Luckily the drop on the 31st is at a decent European time as well, that pre-order price is definately too much for me.
I bet this is his first step towards increasing shareholder value.
So if these all sell out before the 31st, what's that tell Spencer...
Here's hoping that people don't bite at this game.
