I thought SP3 larger enclosure was for the springs?

For the boxing glove if you fluff a solo?

Mr Thorpy - my apologies that my previous post probably seemed rather dickish - I was trying to understand, not trying to have a pop.

No need to apologise, I didn’t take it badly…. And also it gave me the opportunity to explain my rationale here.

That’s entirely my fault…. Wanted a longer form message and…. I’d already sent to email mail drops out this month so wanted to avoid annoying people.

Ta. Flipping is hard to manage, I'm sure. As far as I can think, the only way to guarantee it doesn't happen is to charge the true market value up front, so there's no gap between your sale price and what the market will pay. But that presumably stops the people you'd like to own and enjoy the pedals from getting one.

Speculation: my guess (based on nothing more than the mention of “germanium” makes me think of Hendrix) would be that the first 2 possibly fuzz face or Octavia (perhaps even treble booster?). The 3-in-1 maybe a fuzz face/Octavia/univibe thing similar to a captain coconut?

No worries at all - I’m not on FB much either but it’s perfectly fine for a company to have different comms on different channels, fair play to you!

@ThorpyFX now all SPs appear to be sold out, do we get any more clues as to what they might be?

That's great. What is known in the trade as a rabid fanbase

That would make sense (re captain coconut), I'm going to have to be on the lookout for once they're on sale!

Genius. Bravo.

Sounds like a great idea for #3 but if it is that sort of thing then I’m glad I didn’t choose that one as don’t need that even though it will surely be amazing!

gatheredinsong · July 2023

The £750 one is just a reliced version of the £300 one, blown up on camera by Adrian.

That would be one way of expanding the enclosure

Hoping for a mid-gainy overdrive with a hump in the mids. Ideally green.

FastEddie · July 2023

@ThorpyFX ;

Late to the party but.....

"The Biff". You buy it, it promises to be amazing and then is permanently broken.

"Red wire" - when you hit the footswitch nothing happens (followed by) "Green wire" - when you hit the footswitch the mother of fuzzy boosts hits you.

"P7/L8" Nickname 'The jellyfish' - a pedal that cannot move out of the studio and whimpers when you hit the footswitch.

"FMed 8" - it goes utterly insane when you hit the footswitch.

I propose a budget, cut price, watered down range

Territorial Drive
Territorial Chorus

And a switching system that just sends commands - the REMF

stickyfiddle · July 2023

...and maybe just a single one-off that's 6 pedals in a line like a Carl Martin Quattro... "Fat Man"

I've not heard that for a long time!

hotpickups · July 2023

I’m a bit confused. So one pays a choice of three digit figures upfront but have no idea what one will get? I think I’m out lol

6 in 1 ? That's be called "A Quiet Night In For 7 Paras"

Even if you knew what the pedal is, (and i don't mean this to be mean) im sure you wouldn't describe yourself as an early adopter, more of a watch 20 videos type and then make a decision. But.... thats ok because we are all different and you get to see what they all are on the day they launch.

as the RAF are the taxi drivers for the Paras... does that make them accessories for this incident?

Howdy, Stranger!
