Re: Who's brave enough to clone my #1??
Good question. I need to decide in the next day or less how many to do of this first run. I was just thinking 10 to play it safe and make sure there aren't any big changes needed before blasting out 50 or something... but those 10 are pretty much spoken for. Can't decide if I should be risky or careful. Careful means that the second batch will be about 3 months after the first, but can be much larger. I'm also sourcing some fancy transistors for this first batch of 10 to make sure they rule as hard as possible!

Re: Who's brave enough to clone my #1??
If anyone is still following this never-ending thread .. here's an update:
So the boards were cut and stuffed by Roy, but he sent us a little iPhone demo and something sounded ... off. So instead of sending them directly to Cusack to be boxed and finished, we had them sent to Joe to go over first. The good news is that it musta just been a bad iPhone or something - they sounded right! A few had some issues with transistors being fried ... mystery on how/why that happened, but either way, Joe was sitting there with 10 finished gut piles ready to be boxed up.
I exchanged many emails with Jon Cusack and his assistant (?), who kept putting me off a week at a time (pre-NAMM, NAMM, post-NAMM) and then eventually just sent me an email saying that they change their mind and are no longer making pedals for anyone but themselves. This after MONTHS of discussion, pricing, details ... then just no. Nope. Sorry. Back to square one.
Roy suggested I call our friend Stephen Douglas, that he would probably be more than happy to get the work and would do a great job. DUH! I don't know why I didn't think of him at the start. SO - the guts are now in Stephen's hands, which means a few things:
1. they will sound great, will be made right and WILL be completed in the near future. (he's a solid dude and a friend)
2. they will not be in the fancy cases that were originally planned (not these first 10, anyway), but you guys might like that better anyway
So stay tuned. There WILL be pedals, and they WILL be good. Soon!
