I missed it too, I had gigs this weekend and wasn’t really paying attention to TB. Oh well, there’s nothing I really need right now anyway.

I'm running mine after comp.. when I got it, I tried it before and something to my ears just didn't sound right. As soon as put it after, the magic rang out.
Ordered a black and a turquoise T. I think I'm going to grab one of the baseball Ts too come fall.
Oh cool, is he going to be at the booth? I'm not at a booth so I'll be wandering around, I can definitely swing by. I'm leaving around lunchtime Sunday, but I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday. Super excited to hang with people.
Mmkay, for the curious, this is how the June numbers ended up:
- Handwired Underground Accelerator - 4
- Handwired Space Heater - 4
- Handwired Dr. Wattson - 3
- Handwired Finally - 3
- Handwired Slampegg Bee Pre - 2
- SMD Space Heater - 2
- SMD Underground Accelerator - 1
- Handwired Lab Rat - 1
Mmkay, the new HW Smoke Signal design seems to be a winner, which means I should be able to get @bassbrad's Smoke Signal back to him soon. I need to do more thorough testing and I may tweak voicing a little before sending it out the door, but I've confirmed that this revision completely gets rid of the noise issues I had in the two previous versions.
I have a couple announcements regarding Space Heater and Underground Accelerator, but you guys have to promise not to get mad.
I hereby solemnly cyber swear not to be angry, although I respectfully reserve the right to be politely disappointed
I won’t be mad, but I very well may be incredibly sad
Discontinuing the SH, and adding an EQ bypass switch to the UA, so it can serve both functions?
Mmkay, I'll just get right to it then. So the good news is it's probably nowhere near as bad as you're thinking, so my early anxiety-inducing plan seems effective.
EDIT: I just remembered NAMM is coming up next week, so let's pretend that was the big NAMM announcement I would make if I was a real company.
- Space Heater - pretty much on a dare I designed a DIY version of the circuit board, so I'm planning to start offering those for the fellow DIY folks of the world. I tried to make it as easy as possible to put together, but it's still not a beginner project, so if you've never touched a soldering iron it probably isn't for you.
- Underground Accelerator - any time I run low on circuit boards, instead of re-ordering the same version I have I look at the design to see if any changes are necessary. Underground Accelerator's time is coming up soon, so I've decided that the production-model UA will finally get the tonestack bypass switch I've teased for a few months. This will effectively let you go between UA and SH at the flip of a switch, and it's only like $1 extra components so the cost will be staying the same. I don't really want to take back existing UAs to swap the boards as it would also require drilling a new hole in the enclosure so I'm planning not to offer it, but with my track record on saying 'no' to people we'll see how it goes.
