OK I understand - any idea on a future release date yet? Proton is a quirky name but in the UK they are also the manufacturer of some really bad cars!!

Anybody have any soundclips? I know someone posted some earlier, but i can't open them. This might be a late X-mas gift for me. Hey Spencer, any ideas on release date for your OD pedal? Thinking I need more dirt, but might hold out for that.

Most likely the first half of next year. I'm going to start work on it as soon as I do the first build of Protons. The overdrive section of it is done, I just need to do the clean boost circuit.
I recently received my L-Sound moderated Mu-Tron back from the USA and I used it at a rehearsal last night and wow what a sound! I would be really keen to A/B this against the new Proton and see how it fares. The Mu-Tron is great but takes up so much space and weighs a ton!!
wurf. i've been traveling with sporadic internet access, and i keep missing the neat updates on pages.
that proto-photo (hah!) looks delicious. really looking forward to getting one of these buggers.

During the design process I was constantly A/B'ing it against my L-sound modded Mutron. The prototypes I just shipped out were tweaked a bit more to my taste, and are a bit deeper and with a more full-range sweep, but I can get it sounding virtually identical with a few resistor and capacitor changes.

WOW!
Spencer, nice work!
The reworked pedal arrived today. Wife isn't feeling well, so I could only do low volume testing, but WOW, and I repeat, WOW.
The "filter staying open" artifact is totally gone. Tracking is great, this filter is very articulate. Lows seem solid and strong, and I got extremely close (if not spot on - hard to tell while playing at "do not disturb" volume) to my favorite Mutron settings.
Oh, and the "must pluck really hard" artifact is also wholly gone.
Very, very nice...

I tried one of those in a shop a few months back and was really surprised at how good the filter was. I almost bought it just for that but I didn't much care for the rest.
This new one looks promising, looking forward to some clips.
I don't need a new filter, I don't need a new filter, I don't need a new filter.
