Holy crap we've made some stuff!

First up is a Karma Gear multi containing a Yorkshire Echo (Deux Profundis), a Fuzzdog Phase 90 clone and a Grind Tenebrion reverb.

The last pair are more Cascadias. Jason's (Jubal81) amazing pre-amp pedal. A bit different here in that one is stock and the other is a silicon derivative.

Very cool man. What is a Yorkshire Pulse (Deux Profundis)?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

A typo on my part :) the Yorkshire Echo is a De Profundis with two PT2399's.

Whew, looking good. I think you're the only one I know of to brave the silicon route.

Those look awesome. How does the silicon Cascadia compare to the standard? Also, what did you use?

Awesome looking I especially love the knobs on the cascadia pedals.

Amazing as always!!

Is there any chance the Yorkshire Echo will find it's way out into the wild? The De Profundus is such a good delay it seems this would only improve on it.

I agree. Those knobs really go. Very pro work on all 3 pedals!

Knobs are for splined push on pots.

We like those a lot and use them for added poshness when it's required as though they are cheap, they ain't as cheap as the mixer knobs we usually use.

All the boards we updated will be available to Grind if Rej gets it off the ground again. He has first refusal on those. Indeed there are some other grind boards we'd like to update also but it all came to a halt. If not we'll look to getting them out with someone else. We'd like to get them to the DIY crowd who want to make them one way or another.

If all else fails we can potentially do group buys of any of the things we've done if there's enough interest to cover it.

It's VERY close. You'd have to back to back it, switching while playing, to really be able to tell. Diodes are BAT something's (away at the moment and have the memory of a goldfish), but there were a few other changes also suggested by Jason to keep is sounding similar. I can dig them out later.
