So I'm going to get this out in a mass email to my mailing list shortly, but figure I would let TB know first, I'm officially upping volume to 40 builds a month starting January, so if you were in January or February you are now in January, and if you were in March or April you are now in February.

I also just opened up ordering for March, so that's in there.

Oh and Deep Dish is ready to go for orders starting in January, so if you already have a slot you can upgrade in the Add-On Shop, if not you can get a new build in the March slots.

Also keep in mind that starting March everything has a standard color assigned to it and custom color options are an extra $20, except the raw finish like on the Deep Dish posted earlier, that finish is available at no extra charge regardless of the build.

And as always, let me know if you have questions, I spend way too much time on here so I'm around :p

Right, I need to address that at some point. For now yes, I am discontinuing the Wrecking Ball. It's always been a touchy circuit, and while I've found fixes to make it more stable I've never been completely satisfied with it. I'm thinking the biggest problem is the tubes, so it may come back as an X Series option down the road. I love the sound of it and nothing else is quite like it, but Wrecking Ball has gone through more revisions and continued to give me more problems than every other design combined. I will continue to support and repair (as needed) any Wrecking Balls out there, but I don't plan to make any more 6N21B versions.

Yeah, I got the general b15 sound down, I don't know what to call it, other than hiwatt, but that touch sensitive drive sounds amazing from the watts

I expected the hiwatt to be pretty cool, but Dr Wattson is even cooler than I expected it to be. It may not be until summer, but I definitely think Dr. Wattson X needs to happen.

Are you only able to reserve one pedal at a time per order now? I can't seem to add a second to my cart...maybe I've forgotten how to Internet... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Click to expand...
That's a good question, I think you should be able to. @Sonicblaze did we limit the number of pedals you can buy at once?

The only time it should be limited is if you have the very last spot in your cart
Edit: Sure enough, found a bug specific to extra-cost pedals :) It should be fixed now

I just tested and was able to add two to my cart fine, so I'm guessing there's an edge-case somewhere I'm missing.
@benjobass are you on a computer or mobile? And can you tell me the two pedals you were trying to add?

Edge Case is a decent band name

The od available is glorious. The eq at first seems too subtle but after spending some time with it the magic is in the presence and mids. It's a pedal that rewards you for your patience. The bass and treble adjustments are subtle. Not the best for taming a boom room or adding sparkle but that isn't the intent of this pedal. As a preamp I found 4 or 5 settings I'd be more than happy to leave on all the time and the od available is worth the price alone. If you have the Particle Accelerator or the London Underground both of those have much more pronounced eqs. Crank the mids and presence and back off from there and you'll find something you like.

So how do you go changing your level of saturation and keeping it level with your clean tone?

I don't think anyone has an X yet. I'm getting both in this month's batch so I'll know soon enough. I also have the Fliptop and P-15, all of which I can A/B with my '63 B-15N.

But you also have to be clear about WHICH B-15 sound you want. Different eras and models have different tube configs. They're similar, but not the same.

EDIT: Then we can get into the different speakers used ... it's a rabbit hole.

Thanks I’m looking forward to your review. Not sure which B15 version, but I’m chasing the Jamerson sound.
