Between the late despatch, the 'surge' pricing and now the label peeling showing up again i'm thinking i might cancel...
I was lucky to buy it at regular price, and even at that price having it flake off is unacceptable
I don't like overpaying but if it's as good as the world claims it is, then I'm a little more okay with it. At this point I've tried about 8 octave pedals. An extra $50 isn't a deal killer for me if it finally resolves all my issues with the other octave pedals I've tried.
That must have been one of the “Shambles” versions. They’re worth some money!
That's disappointing. I'm wondering if spraying a matte protectant might be needed. I'd definitely shoot him an email on it. That edition came out in December last year right? Definitely no where near how long it should last. I did have this problem with just about all the Jackson Audio Pedals I've ever had. Always traveled in a hard case and I barely ever moved them once down with dual lock.
I do have an older one which i love to be fair... I've tried and missed out each time so the surge did feel like a punishment for missing out. Was very on the fence due to the various shenanigans that occur with Spencer and seeing the flaking show up again tipped me over the edge. Have sent a cancellation email that might well be ignored!
Sure, lets find someone else that would pay more or the same amount of money as a new unit
FWIW, Im plugging in a Proton today, revisiting so to speak. I’ve got two, have the Wonderlove, but appreciate the Proton.
One thing about Spencer’s stuff- it’s utilitarian; you can go ad hominem and cite whatever, but at the end of the day, the guy delivers a product that shines. I’ll poke fun at his foibles but he’s doing something that I can’t do. Letters fall off. THAT is something i feel i could address. THAT i don’t get.
The fact that he chooses to address this by marketing replacement faceplates suggests an evil brilliance that I can almost admire.
I love Spencer. We had a Jack Russell terrier that was evil smart. If Milo were human, this would be the kind of thing he would do.
He didn’t necessarily plan his opportunistic behavior but after he did something unexpected, something so outre, he would look you right in the eye and make you wonder who was really in charge.

I know it doesn’t help much but my MR OCTABVRE hasn’t developed any problems.
That little fkkr pulled a tablecloth from a dining room table to get at and consume a whole tray of brownies. He was old then, like 13, and the thought was he couldn’t jump onto the table.
He waited until everyone was outside. Wasn’t five minutes until someone came back in the kitchen for a glass of wine, it was an outdoor pool party.
By then, it was too late. He ate something like two pounds of brownies in under five minutes. They put him in the garage overnight, and the next morning he decorated the entire living room.
Pretty sure Milo would have been a bass player if he were human.
And named Dave.
Actually there is a Dave connection. Dave was Milo’s owner, and my brother in law.
Six Degrees of Separation usually yields a Dave.
I don't know or care much about all the drama behind it. He seems like a sincere artist about stuff. His pedals are amazing. They all three work together. I think flippers should all be shot but they are useful pedals at twice the price
