Love the style; looking forward to the vid too! :D
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Cheers, Kris!

Yeah it's a bit of a niche sort of pedal. I'll make one with a breadboard inside soon, so hopefully a few more people can get involved and have some fun.

Thanks! The fw was with help from Jonny - 80tape.com. That guy has mad skillz. Code is quite beyond me at this stage, and I'm well into the concept development and hardware side of things but if he wasn't keen to help it'd be nowhere near what it is now.

They look awesome, really unique too. I haven't seen any other pedals that look like your ones and that's gotta be a good thing.

Hope you had an amazing time in NAMM, that's a bucket-list trip right there!

Thanks heaps! I'd always planned to get there but all this organisation to make it happen made me realise I was out of my depth back then :crazy:

In other news, I've just "past participle of get" access to a pick n place for the foreseeable future and will likely buy my own eventually for future production. So if they do pretty well, I should hopefully be able to keep making them myself within NZ. I was jamming on the phaser one last night and with an expression pedal for the full sweep, or controlling depth of a parallel modulation wave, it really holds its own!

It's still got FETs to switch the phase loop, but I designed around requiring to sit and match transistors by using a quad JFET array + added a socket to upsize the phase loop with an extra 2 or 4 stages. Haven't made the +4 yet, but the +2 changes it from an 80's to a 70's tone for lack of a better description.. :geek:

Cruising through instagram (closest I will get to NAMM this year) and the Ghost just showed up in my feed. Cool to see something NZ made making waves.
