I had a desktop crash this week (damn CPU fan died-now fixed) and was not able to do some of the work needed on documentation in order for this next batch of boards to release tomorrow. So, instead they will be available either on the 1st or 2nd. At the same time, I'm going to do a little sale since we have not had one in a long time (the most recent being free shipping week a few months ago).
Some may have noticed that the Timelapse has been pushed back again, and I am very sorry for that. I just was not ready for it yet and I needed to place a restock order in the month of December. So, it will be out when it's out. One added bonus - I have a midi add-on board that I will be testing out with the TL so that may be an available option. The proto is already on-had...just haven't built it yet. At the very least, the new Aquaboy (125B sized, straight DM-2 clone) is here so if you are itching for an analog delay there's an option right now.
Lastly, there is still time to enter the contest so please do so. You've got a little over 24 hours to get something entered.
And very soon Happy New Year to all! Good god let's hope none of our musical heroes get killed by the new year!
Awesomesauce.

Agreed, this is awesome. Aside from the part about your computer, glad it wasn't a total meltdown.
Thanks Brian!!
Awesome!! Can't wait!
That is great! Do you have any univibe pcbs for wah shell for sale?
Sorry to hear about your computer, Brian. I hope 2017 leaves your PC alone as well. ;)
Looking forward to the DM-2, and REALLY looking forward to the Timelapse + MIDI when it arrives. All of this sounds amazing!
... Except the sale. My bank account will certainly not appreciate the sale ;)
One Q, if I may: will the modulation add-on board for the DM-2 be available at the same time as the main board?
Thanks!

Should be yes. Doing the final checking on that today.
Sale will start late this afternoon. Just finishing up the last bit of documentation and then I need to do a little web stuff.

Sale is live! You may need to refresh the page to see the changes. All docs are up. Let me know if there are any issues...I've checked everything over but there's always the chance I messed up a link.
Done!
Now I just need to sell a kidney so I can afford all the delay chips :)

How many u bought, u going with the old mn3005's
I think it is perfect opportunity to use my old MN3005 I have for few years and build the Aquaboy. :)

Same :D
I just bought 3 of the new 3005s and a mn3007 from chromespheres site for the pcbs I bought this morning. I've never owned an analgue delay before I'm looking forward to it.
Done!! Delay time: another Dirtbaby and an Aquaboy with modulation board and road rage... I can't wait! :)
Thanks a lot!!
Two Aquaboys, an Aquaboy Mod, and two Road Rage Bypass PCBs ordered.
Thanks Brian!
A word of warning for international buyers, if your order crosses the 39.99USD threshold before the discount it applied, you automatically have to pay the 13USD shipping option.
A little off topic, sorry: Am I likely to encounter any ticking or heterodyning from the BBD clocks with both Aquaboys in the same enclosure, or one of them in the same enclosure as a Pork Barrel or other BBD circuit?

Unfortunately, there's no way around the way Paypal calculates that shipping when a discount is used (that I know of). But, you can always break them into two orders. You will pay two shipping charges but if you do it in the right amounts, the total shipping will come out less that the regular $13 1st Class rate.
As far as combining effects like that, there is a risk but that doesn't mean it's sure to happen. Easy to test: run both builds off a single power supply when you test them before putting them in one box.

No worries about the shipping, just thought I should mention it.
I was tempted to place two smaller orders as you suggested, but decided to order just the essentials for now or I'd buy too many PCBs and not have any money left for components haha!
Thanks Brian, I'll give that a go.
I might opt to use an 18V PSU and use a separate 15V regulator (Road Rage bypass PCB) for each Aquaboy.
That should hopefully stop any clock noise reaching the power rails...
Wow got home from work today and my pcbs were waiting for me. Postage date is 5th Jan 6 days from the US to England which is ridiculously quick and I didn't even get hit for tax. I really need to get my current build list sorted so I can stuck into these.
Thanks Brian
yep same here, quick to UK. hopefully get my aquaboy done in the next week or so
Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone for the outstanding sale. All the extra $$ allowed me to place an intermediate re-stock order this month (there are several boards close to going out of stock). This means in February I can get more new projects released. So, everyone wins!
Trying to slog my way through the PCB drawer to clean it out and hopefully re-up for things in February! Looking forward to the restock and new releases!
Same here. Quick shipping to France. About a week. Sometimes things shipped from France take longer than that for me.
