I'm thinking about opening August ordering on Friday. Planning for a batch of 20, and August will have the following changes:

- Particle Accelerator and London Underground both discontinued in favor of Underground Accelerator
- Westinghouse has been discontinued, I don't have a replacement yet but there will be something along the same vein later
- August 2021 will be the last month Lab Rat X is available. I like it, I know other people like it, but it just hasn't sold very well and I want to slim down the number of pedals offered to make the lineup more sustainable on my end
- Fractured Cherry is no longer available, but white finish with either simple or full color artwork is available for the standard $20 upcharge

I think that's it. I'll get with @Sonicblaze to make sure everything is all set with the website then get an email out to announce it officially.


So what you're saying is that I can purchase a Mark 1 Mod 2 Full Rate Production Underground Accelerator slot in August?

Sweet!

Yessir. I'm going to confirm that everything is ready to go in the website then I'll probably send out the email tonight.

Alright, official announcement email should be on its way out in the next few minutes. My mailing list is up to 301 people, which is more than I ever would have imagined, so I'll try to figure out a way to deflate my head enough that it will fit back through the door.

Summary for those not on the mailing list (no judgements here): August ordering will open up this Friday, July 16, at 12pm central time. I'm planning on doing a half batch (20) for August, September will go back to full batches (40) so I can finish up some last minute things I wanted to do over my vacation.
 
I've been feeling better today so I got a little bit of work done, but I'm forcing myself to sleep more so I'm stopping for the night now.

All turrets for Underground Accelerator LE have been installed, and I started printing bottom plates for them as well.

Things move so fast in the SB lineup it's hard to keep up.
Yeah I'm trying to slow down with changes, make them occasional things instead of constant things.

I'm thinking about adopting the standard business thing, new products get released around NAMM time, and that's the only time new things come out.

...and maybe begin to focus on your own designs! That would be so lovely. :)

That sounds boring. lol

Sounds like a more balanced, sustainable business plan to me.
I mean I'm obviously not going to stop working on things year-round, but releasing them as soon as they pop into my head leads to things like the Great Westinghouse Fiasco of '21, the consequences of which I've only just barely finished dealing with.

I got my Westinghouse back the other day and all is well!
