Yup, and I appreciate it. On the website I give myself until the 10th of the month to finish everything and I've never needed it before, but I'm glad I have it this time. So as of now:

- UV printing is 95% done, just need to do one more box, it's a custom one (long story)
- everything has been tested except the Westinghouses per the above reason
- started boxing up the ones that have been tested, 20% of the orders are fully assembled and ready to ship

I still haven't put together the Deep Dishes, but there are only 4 so it shouldn't take me long, and I still want to play with the LED indicator circuit.


My Deep Dish isn't ready? Seriously? It's April 4th? I can't believe it. You have a life outside of Talkbass? For real? Lol. Stay in the basement until you are finished!!!!!!!!

Hahaha. Before anyone gets all bent out of shape I'm teasing. Builders have a life too and getting us our pedals is a veryyyyyyyyyyyy small part of that.

I remember the emails from a certain 3 letter guitar board when the Indie Dream was voted the number 3 pedal of 2018 by Andy from the Tone Report. We had like 25 in stock and over 300 "orders". People were losing their " crap" over us not have pedals when they wanted them. I received multiple emails telling me what a bad business person I was etc lol.

No rush on mine. I have 16 compressors currently. Doing a shoot out this week.

Hope you are doing well

If that Slampegg doesn't work out for you, let me know!!
It seems to be working just fine for now.

I'm going to try recording with a few different tubes in it for the community here. Comparing it to the flip top is fantastic. I'll try to include that one too. Now I just need to get a looper to make it consistent.

Btw, both the knobs and the light are green so it looks fantastic when activated. Not to tempt you any further....

Heck I got a nice Ditto looper I'll trade you! :)
 
If you get this sorted/tweaked, is it something where those of us with a Deep Dish can send it back and get the improvement?
So the best I've been able to get it is two bars permanently on, then the sweep goes the full range (up to 10). I tried just sticking in the values from Empress, but they have their circuit set up a little different, so to actually implement it the same way would require a redesign of my board. I'm going to add it in for the next revision (next month maybe?) but for now I'm afraid 2 bars permanently on is the best I'm getting.

whats the fastest attack time on the deep dish?
I have absolutely no idea :P I don't own an oscilloscope anymore so I don't really have the means to measure it.

How many mah does the deep dish pull again at 12volt? I got a voodoo lab pedal power 2plus supply and im just trying to check if it has enough juice to power it if not ive got a cioks compact 4 i can add on
At 12V mine is pulling around 600mA on start up, going down to about 390mA steady-state.
 
Really quick before I forget, I'm organizing my April batch list and I swear I remember someone saying they wanted to change their order to a Vampire Slayer, but I don't see one in my list anywhere and I couldn't find any mention on here. Is there anyone in April that asked for a Vampire Slayer?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it :D

Seems... Lopsided, but I'll think about it ;) but, that's a cheap looper so I may try to pick one up to do the recording.

Another cool option is the TC Wiretap pedal. It’s like a basic looper but it allows you to store multiple songs or riffs or whatever you want. You can call them back up even if you power the pedal down because they are stored in the pedal. You can also download a Bluetooth app and control your song list with your phone or iPad. I guess you could say it’s a smart looper.
 
Quick March update for the day, I had a long night last night and now I'm at:

Circuit board assembly: 91% (everything except Deep Dish is together)
UV printing: 95% (just need to finish up the bottom plates)
Final assembly: hard to put a percentage on, but all pots and switches are installed, just need to get tubes put in and do testing then I can get them in boxes and start getting them shipped. I'm hoping to get at least a handful shipped out tomorrow, but I had to take an important break today.

Just FYI on the Walmart registration for C19 vaccine you can change the clock on your computer when you try to book your appointment. If you live in a city where the shots are hard to get being automatically placed 2 hours "ahead" is a pretty good advantage. Just saying. Not saying how I know. And yes, it works in 2021!

The real obstacle will be the risk of embarrassing myself with my awful playing.
 
My Westinghouse tracking number says tomorrow, and in the meantime, I have a quick clarification question for Mr. @Sushi Box FX ... I see the power being 12V on @kranahan's photo, but the page for it on your site says 9V. I don't want to blow it up when I plug it in...
