What the...Darkglass Vintage Microtubes?!?!

The Vintages are going to be shipping out at a slower pace than expected - I was doing the final play testing on a batch of them today and they didn't sound quite the way they should. A part needs to be replaced on all of them and that's going to take a few days to manage.

I wish I had better news for you guys - I know you've been waiting a long time, but I won't ship anything that doesn't sound absolutely right.

It's okay I'd rather have perfection, then a dud.

And that's why is so important to have awesome people building and testing the pedals.

We are very sorry about this everyone. We want the pedals out as badly as you do and Spencer has worked so hard to have these bad boys shipped out as soon as possible.

But we do share that value, that we would rather take a few days extra than ship anything that sounds anything but perfect.

The wait is appreciate it and you won't regret it.
It will be worth it.

Regards and thank you again,
Doug.

Is that all of them or just this certain batch?

Spencer will have to undo some of the soldering in some of the pedals which is slowing down the process of shipping them out.
I will get some idea of the final ETA for all the pedals and let you guys know later.

It's gonna be a long weekend.
You guys have a good one!

Regards,
Doug.
