I'm planning to put them up tomorrow. I'll plan the logistics with @Sonicblaze then let everyone know what time.

Alright, the first litter of Fluffy Kittens will go on sale SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, at 1:00PM CENTRAL TIME (that's 11AM pacific, 12PM mountain, 2PM eastern for those in North America that don't like math; if you're elsewhere you'll have to do the time zone conversion yourself).
November batch ordering will open shortly thereafter. Like I'll post Fluffy Kitten at 1:00, then however long it takes me to click all the right buttons to open the November batch, that's when it will open. Maybe 1:03 or something like that.

I mean, I don't need any new pedals but if I did it'd probably be, you know, an analogue drive that sounded good on bass.
Those are the Fluffy Kitty preorders. For $5k, you're guaranteed a FK pedal.
*not endorsed by Sushi, but I'm sure he'd be on board with that...
Everyone has a price, and mine is definitely right around $5k. For $5k I would build you *literally anything.Those are the Fluffy Kitty preorders. For $5k, you're guaranteed a FK pedal.
*not endorsed by Sushi, but I'm sure he'd be on board with that...
*provided it is within my skill level and doesn't jeopardize my marriage, my job, or my security clearance
I think I will have to find or make the room with the pedalboard, because I do have the room in my heart.
I hope my timezone calculations are correct.
That's too much presure...
I want one , my buddy needs a friend !

If I wanted a Kitten, do I have to sign up for an account? Is it just Kittens going on sale or a full pedal opening?
I only ask as with a certain other manufacturer that generates a lot of buying frenzy, the actual process is only a couple of (sometimes unsuccessful) clicks.
Edit. Just realized I already have an account. Guess I should add my address in advance.

Those are some really great looking pedals . Fortunately , I’m allergic to cats so I won’t be among those getting their hearts crushed coming up empty handed by the sure fire demand these will generate ! Somewhere on TB I’ve seen this scenario before - just saying ...... Kelly
You don't HAVE to sign up for an account, but it does make life easier so you can save addresses and payment info, as well as lookup prior order statuses and such. This process, with or without an account, can be a couple clicks as well depending on how you pay/if your browser auto-fills stuff,etc.
The fastest purchase method would be an account with addresses pre-saved, and CC payment presaved (not PayPal since that redirects/etc, it'd be slower).
Sushi will be opening up Nov orders sometime after FK, but I wouldn't wait and try to buy both at once if you were thinking that. You would risk FK selling out, which I expect them to.
Long before pedal makers were crushing dreams, Microsoft and Sony did too with game systems. And before that, Tickle Me Elmo and Beanie Babies and Tamagotchi, and every other hot toy with limited availability.
Such is the world of limited resources
I know people who have been trying to buy the new Xbox for almost a year and still don't have one. It's nuts!

Cheers! No, no other pedals to buy for Nov, just wondering if FK was more of a direct purchase or more like configuring a slot like I did back in the day for my Space Heater. Sounds like more of a direct purchase.
Ah, yup, it's a direct purchase. No customization available, it'll just be an add to cart button and then you can checkout!
I wrote up/screenshotted what the process looks like for everyone, at least mobile-wise. This is the first time Sushi has done something like this on the new site, so it's only fair to ensure everyone knows what to expect. It's a normal cart/shopping process, but here it is in its screenshotted-glory...
If you think you have an account but can't login, and reset password doesn't seem to be working, than you probably don't have an account. Try creating one
This is what the FK will look like when it goes live. The URL it's at now, will be the same URL for when it goes live. Just an Add To Cart button will be present.
After you click said button, you will get a confirmation, with a nice quick link to go to your cart:
*Do not try and add more than 1 to your cart, it will throw an error and delay your checkout process:
In your Cart, you will be given your shipping options and checkout options. The fastest way to order would be logged into your account, with a card presaved, and your addresses presaved. You can do all of this prior to it being available for purchase:
*FYI there is no more free shipping, so don't pause here wondering what's wrong. Not sure if @Sushi Box FX mentioned that
When you click Proceed to Checkout, if you were logged into your account and have all of your info presaved, you should just have to choose your saved card / maybe an address, and hit the place order button on the checkout page:

Roll on , ehhh, 2 am...
There were 9 in the picture he posted. I’m not even gonna try, they will be gone in 30 seconds.
Being obsessive has its advantages in situations like these.
