Looking forward to what she designs—solutions for problems—after gaining the experience of operating that contraption.
Sashimi Fuzz, Echosaurus Valve and Ambassador prototypes are out for delivery today...
Might be a couple hours until I can get them plugged in for testing, but I'm excited about all three of these.
My fellow bassists, it is with heavy heart that I announce that Sashimi Fuzz will not be ready for October orders. The initial prototype was a failure. I was able to find a couple mistakes and fix them so it passed signal and got loud, but it is an absurdly clean, bright signal, not the beefy fuzz I was expecting. So back to the drawing board on that one.
Echosaurus Valve was a little better, it functioned as it was supposed to and the overall tone was quite good, but there's a lot of digital hiss leaking into the audio signal. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to clean it up, but I will also be A/B comparing it to a regular Echosaurus to determine if the sound is better enough to continue pursuing it.
Ambassador on the other hand was a resounding success. There was a minor error on the board, but nothing that would prevent me from making it available, so I can offer these in October for those looking for that Matchless/Vox chime (probably not many in the bass world seeking that).
So based on all this I am planning to open ordering for the October batch. I'll announce exactly when after I talk to @Sonicblaze and figure out how exactly to open a batch on the new website

the my accounts feature is a great addition. Probably helps distribute the bookkeeping
Right, I said I would make those available for October and I didn't get them put in.
I don't have a phone right now (long story) so I'm a lot harder to get a hold of than usual, but yes that should happen. Ummm....I'm bugging him now to see what he'd like me to setup
@Sonicblaze could you make a placeholder product page for Ambassador and I can fill it in later? I don't know what artwork will look like yet, but I can give you some quick specs:
Based on the Drive section of the Matchless Hotbox
2x 12AX7
125B (typical Slampegg etc sized) enclosure, setup with pots in the middle a la Black Eye X
Bass, Treble, Gain, Master controls
Base price (raw or full color artwork, tubes included) of $205
If you're busy right now or anything isn't working for some reason, @Killing Floor could also just order a Black Eye X and make a note that it's for an Ambassador.
I'll work on it right now! @Killing Floor I'll tag you with a link when it's ready
@Killing Floor ( and @Sushi Box FX ) All done! You can find it in the Pedals page, or here's a direct link Order away!

Ambassador. Done and done. Thanks for the link.
That's a pretty guitar @Sushi Box FX by the way. My pronoun is bassist but if you're honest, a sweet hot rod Tele like that is too fun to put down.

Working for me, and I just saw an order come through; Got a specific error or anything?
My work network blocks it so I can't get to it at work, but I haven't had any issues on personal devices.
^Definitely this, obviously we want to make sure it works for everyone.
It showed up yesterday and it is amazing. This thing is like a sexy contoured tele with exotic woods. A bit on the heavy side, but as a les paul fan there's nothing wrong with that, it's super comfortable to hold and the neck is smooooooth. I'll probably be letting my current tele go now
Thanks! Literally just found a status update from the host:
