Hi there - very interested to find this discussion (and others on the forum - Kevteop, your bass samples on another thread were great, especially the fourth one which sounded super vocal).
Indeed, I'm afraid that at this stage I can't (or won't?!) do stompboxes - really due to the mechanical strength requirements and because my ways of making things have changed since the original MicroCrusher. As some of you know, my real focus at the moment is my modular synth systems - that constantly keeps me more than busy so even getting the MicroCrusher back towards production has taken far longer than I'd otherwise have hoped.
So, unless I could somehow find a place to make custom stompable cases (rather than me having to drill metal boxes - it is really impractical for regular production) I won't be able to make the MicroCrushers stompable.
[I wondered whether I could get someone else to make them - someone who is more geared up to stomp-things -- I then remembered Ooh La La pedals, but it seems they've stopped existing now -- shame]
But! I do have a footswitch input on the new design - takes a standard momentary pedal input (eg. like a keyboard sustain pedal). Maybe this will go some way to addressing the guitar/bass players needs.
I won't say much now about the exact changes - will announce in a month or so. But it is very similar circuit-wise to the previous MicroCrusher.
By the way, I would hope to have this in quite regular production once I get things going - that's one of the main points of my redesign, to create something that I can reproduce on an ongoing basis.
Cheers,
Tom
