Starting this Saturday we will have a holiday sale that will last several days. It will probably be some percentage off kinda thing. Also, I will make some of the "Short Run" PCBs available at the same time. I am working on the project documentation on those ahead of time and a couple of them are already up. The Short Run PCBs will not be part of the sale because they are already going to be sold at very discounted prices. So, it's kinda the same thing.
Since I know someone will ask: the holiday sale will not coincide with any other new releases or re-stocks. Sales have been a little sluggish over the last two months so I am hoping this sale will help me pick up a few extra gold pieces so I can get all the stuff ordered from the manufacturer that I wanna do. These next two batches are going to be pretty big!
Also, a couple people have asked me to hold onto the Short Run PCBs for them. In this case I have to (regrettably) say "no" because there are very few of them and I want them to be first come first serve. Hence the announcement in advance on when they will be on sale. I will have the Danger Zone, Dirtbaby and probably a few Laser Wolf boards available. That might be it for Saturday. I do believe I might even get up Dirtbaby and Danger Zone samples up in time. I'll work on that.
I hope everyone is gearing up for their own holiday festivities. This is my favorite time of the year...when it is about three weeks out from Xmas. It's way more fun to look forward to than to actually do it, haha.
And not to celebrate my newly forming grey hair...here is a bean with a Santa beard and hat.

Alright! Can't wait, I will be anxiously awaiting the Dirtbaby and will probably place an order for something else as well to help fund those new projects.

Cool. I think people will be pleasantly surprised with the Dirtbaby. It really did work out well. Actually, this was my second attempt at it. I did another version two years ago but screwed it up royally. This time around I got it right.
I've been drooling over the laser wolf since you posted the layout on Facebook so going to grab one of those and probably an afterlife and mudbunny. Really want a naughty fish but they are out of stock. The dirtbaby has really piqued my interest as well. Well it looks like I will be living on ramen for the rest of the month ;) . Lol.

Awesome. Thanks for giving a day, now I won't be refreshing the project page every 10 minutes at work :)

Ha! Too funny to think about someone (else) doing that!
[MY MB refreshes today at work varied from every 5-15 minutes ;D]
Nice! Don't worry I will try to help out your sales a little....

Great stuff ya ya ya....! Thanks Brian! :)
Awesome. I'm anxiously waiting for the cave troll.
Just one small thing... would you mind making the pcbs available in the morning or at night so that we europeans stand a chance of getting one? :)
+1
Also wonder what exactly the Hot Toddy will be.

This :D
Anyway, excited for the Danger zone as well, the mosfet overdrive has always had me intrigued.
The dirtbaby is all the rage as much as I can see but I'll probably pass on that and make it easier on the rest of the guys.
will definitely jump on something in the following days and contribute to the site. I tried ordering the Wolfshirt yesterday but even though it's listed as in stock it actually isn't, or at least I couldn't go through with the order.
will probably jump on an aquaboy deluxe then.
Great stuff!
Looking forward to trying out the limited edition projects.

Been doing this since Monday! Been waiting for the Moodring and the Nom Nom. Maybe a ABDLX and a Collosalus too, we shall see.
Oooohhh! Can't wait for the cave troll!
Limited funds... At least I have time to decide which board(s) I want... something less than all of them
So many great pcbs to choose from ;D
I'm shooting for 10am CST for the sale. I'll do my best to be on time.
Laserwolf doc is up.
Here are direct links to the three Short Run PCB docs. I need to take the Project Page down for a while to get the sale going.

I'm going to add in the voltages for the Dirtbaby later today in the doc.
The sale will go live in a couple of minutes.
IF YOU already had any items in your cart from before the sale, you should remove and re-add them. Otherwise the discount might not get applied correctly.
Cheers.
Sale is live:

Are the cave troll and woodhouse not going to be up this morning?
Hats off to whoever got that last mood ring! Slightly quicker than me

No, I already mentioned that the other three would be the only ones today. I might be able to get those two in before the sale ends.
Thanks... Sorry I missed that earlier. :)
dang, were the dirtbabys gone instantly?
So... flipping... frustrating!
Now I know what a teenage girl feels like constantly refreshing for a One Direction ticket only to have it sold out when the page finally loads.
Humbug.
^ exactly, I kept hitting refresh, went straight to paypal after ordering, and it's sold out, haha

Sale live at 10:15, sold out at 10:21 (when I checked). Really crossing my fingers for another run for those (with the critical mod already applied perhaps)
Holy moley, all gone.
There were less than 10 of each of those so it isn't too surprising.
Not to worry, guys. I will get more of each of them soon enough. The short runs are just a way for me to give a few people a jump on the gun while getting a discount. It's pretty much going to always go down like that, I suspect.
ARGH! Dirt Baby and Danger Zone were in my cart (along with 4 others), then were sold out when I logged into Paypal!! :'(
Maybe it was the universe telling me to work through my backlog before getting more PCB's ...
Looking forward to some build reports on the limited runs now (though it probably won't have me hitting the refresh button quite as often as the sale did :) )
Wow, this is as intense as enrolling in overrun courses at university :D
Weird enough, I still see the order buttons...
Anyways, thanks for doing this Brian. Happy holiday sale!
Any idea, when the cave troll will be available? :)
i got the same, laserwolf and dirty bag and one moodring where on my cart, thta was fast sale
Thanks for offering these Brian! I will have to grab one on the next restock.
Dirt Baby, Danger Zone and Sharkfin here!

I've updated the page now to remove the order buttons. It had to be done manually.
Yes, the Cave Troll will be worked on the next few days and I will try to have it ready later on in the week.
I was refreshing the wrong page, like a total retard hahaha. Been working on a project at the same time and...oh well.
Got me an Aquaboy Deluxe board instead. Reckon a pedal builder should build an analog delay once in their life and I do want to support the forum so, there's that. I expect a lot of help with troubleshooting though :D Cheers everybody.
Was hoping to get the Danger Zone. WIll remain on lookout for these being back in stock for sure.
I got a dangerzone and a few others. Tried to get the last moodring... Whoever got that must be quick... Great sale! I also picked up a Honeydripper, Stage Fright, and Current Lover. I can't wait get working on these builds!
Yeah I tried to snag the dirtbaby and the moodring but as soon as I clicked checkout they were gone. Managed to grab the laserwolf though so theres that! plus a kingslayer 2, aftermath, and a mudbunny because I have yet to build a muff :o .
Thanks for putting those up Brian! Got a Dirtbaby here and already made a Tayda order for the parts for it :)
I got one of the Dirtbabys and a Laserwolf at 10:19. Kept refreshing and placed the order as fast as possible, no time to think :D
ahahaha! This was fast! :D
I've added in the voltages on the Dirtbaby doc. Please take a moment to re-download it if you want the info:
http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/Dirtbaby/Dirtbaby.pdf
that was fast.... :-[ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Bad: I was late for the dirtbaby!!
Good: I can work on the 20+ PCBs I have waiting before getting new ones!!
...and I can still order a few discounted mudbunnys... hehe
Mmm, the apathetic powers of alcohol :) It would have been nice, but I won't lose sleep over it.
Admittedly, this is partly because I keep thinking about that damn filterbank I'm working on (second rev PCB's are in transit on a slow boat from China), and how to try and cram a Buchla Source of Uncertainty into Euro. (I'm going to swear if it winds up being a six PCB sandwich.)
Different time zones can really suck... checked last night, not on sale yet, checked first thing this morning, all gone...
Bummer... :-X
...this is the first time in my life that I feel like a winner !!! got a Laserwolf, Dirtbaby and Cherrybomb... 8)
I wonder what the Hot Toddy project is...
Awesome, I got both the Danger Zone and the Dirtbaby! :)
Just looked at the Dirtbaby build doc, that is actually a really, REALLY good idea :)
wow that was fast... so so desperately wanted that laserwolf! Brain any chance you will order more of those bad boys?
Dear sinus medication, thanks for making me miss out on the limited run PCBs I wanted so. I would rather have a migraine headach than miss out on the dirtbaby and laser wolf.
Your truly
Cody

Doh! Question answered on previous page 😳
Woke up earlier than I intended to, checked the page, and I'd just missed them all by a few minutes. Oh well, ordered some other sale boards, hopefully if we all buy enough other stuff we can help jump start fabrication for these new projects. I can't wait to check out that Dirtbaby.
Argh I was up until 3am Pacific refreshing, and wake up to all gone. :(
Actually I think it's cool that Brian shares the early test runs or whatever. Some of us get lucky some just have to wait.

+1. Ordered two pcbs for a friend who's nuts about the Mesa boogie rectifier stuff (chunk chunk) and for a another friend who wants to give building a try. Makes for a great Christmas present.
I'm waiting for the
Cave troll. If it works out, great. If not, I'll get it later. The way I see it, it gives me time to actually play guitar, which I'm doing by far to little these days.
