VFE site down

The old VFE site appears to be gone, including the pages with all the discontinued stuff (vfecustom.com is still running). Therefore all the links I have in the VFE project docs to the old site are no longer working. FYI. Not sure if this is a temporary or permanent change. I'll contact Peter to see what I can find out.

Looks like the domain name registration expired. Probably an accident.. I hope.

Kind of a drag that he's so focused on the new pedal that everything else has fallen by the wayside.  I hope his students aren't getting the same lack of attention.  I love the projects and am truly excited for the guy to be making something this unique but after paying all the money I did to Patreon for what amounted to a couple of undocumented circuit boards the novelty is wearing a bit thin and I'm feeling a little burned.

More than the circuit boards, I wanted to get in on the educational side and none of that happened.

Brian, hopefully we get a few more MB-VFE projects unless that end falls apart too.

My understanding is the lack of being able to spend time on the educational component of the Patreon campaign is why he stopped it. The Kickstarter was incredibly successful and that's a big "get" for his students. He did make all his Eagle files for everything VFE available to his Patrons, including the ones for the PCB offerings through Patreon. But, yeah, I don't know if there was ever actual documentation on those (honestly, I have two of the boards and haven't had time to build them yet). I think he's stretched pretty thin as it is.

As far as continuing VFE projects there is no worry there. I have 9 or 10 more coming after the next two (Dark Horse and Triumvirate). And, I do have permission to make some of the newer designs down the road if I want to.

Finally, it's about time. Darkhorse and Triumvirate!

Man, I'm bummed I never paid up to get those eagle files!

Site is back. vfepedals redirects to vfecustom, but the discontinued pedals (our builds) are back again: http://vfepedals.com/discontinued.html
