Yes, but I do have a PA in this same color coming in the December batch!
I don't know, I've actually been thinking about either offering less colors or stop offering options and just have a set color per design to speed things up
Every time I change colors it takes me 10 minutes because I have to clean out the gun and wipe everything down so I don't mix the powders, so that was about 2 hours extra work in November alone. That being said I also hate saying no to things
We'll see though.It was a one-off color, he paid extra to have me order it in for two of his builds. It's actually a two-part finish, the sparkly bit is actually just a clear coat with multi-colored sparkles in it, and you spray it over black to get that finish.
Cutting down on options and streamlining production is probably a good idea since you're working months out at this time.
The customization is nice but I think you’re better off doing a set color per design. You’ll save time and have more time for TBI don't know, I've actually been thinking about either offering less colors or stop offering options and just have a set color per design to speed things up

and new designs. Hell, maybe you could offer more builds per month.I don't know, I've actually been thinking about either offering less colors or stop offering options and just have a set color per design to speed things up

That’s a tough one!
Set colors for each model definitely speeds things up, and has to be a BIG efficiency gain.
But custom colors is kinda freaking awesome, and can make a good brand distinguisher. Maybe add it as an upcharged option, with a single set model color otherwise?
I can’t lie, picking my own colors, and top jacks were the two things that pushed me over the edge, and into buying.
I’d totally pay an extra $20 ish for it.

Ask yourself this, "Can I still sell just as many pedals with fixed colors per model?" The answer at this point is undoubtedly, yes.
Well I actually ordered some, but I haven't tried it out yet. I need to stop offering more finishes, November had 13 different colors in the batch
I would have asked for mine to be covered in blue diamond tolex, to be honest. But if that's possible ...

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.

I love the part where you can pick your own enclosure hue. It’s definitely a plus IMO.

No colour, just a clear coat. And a set style of knob for each pedal.
What about pcb colors? Shouldn’t we also have that option as well?

I vote for transparent enclosures, with an RGB LED with adjustable trimmers so you can make it glow your own color.
