Title: Finished a small batch of my own design!
Post by: murdog47 on September 11, 2014, 01:17:53 AM
Finished a small batch of a design I made from modifying a power boost circuit, adding a charge pump on a toggle, and adding clipping options. Tons of fun! PPP UV printing for the enclosures. A good friend did the demo videos :)

Wow, that's sharp! You're not charging enough, though. What a steal.

Very cool looking and way to cheap. Someone is going to get a screaming deal.

My first thought as well.  :D

Just a FYI, your video on the Reverb page is set to private.

Looks so professional dude!  You should def charge more. It's an awesome feeling doing a pedal you did the layout and everything on...love the enclosure too.

Third fan on you facebook page  8)

This one sounds/looks awesome inside and out, but I agree with the others: you should price it higher, not only because you shouldn't loose any money (and I'm sure you don't) but because that's one way people value the things they buy (if it is  too cheap then someone could think the materials used are cheap too).

Don't charge an astronomic quantity, but what it's fair (someone said once they charged 3 times the cost of the pedal and that's what I've been doing lately with one-off builds).

Do not menospreciate you'r work because you're not a known brand, that's a high quality build, so use competitive prices but not too low..

That's what I think, anyway.

Man, this thing is seriously cooler than the Throbak OD/Boost and they are charging way, way more than this. I would jump on this if I was able at the moment. Congrats on going to the next level!

Thanks everyone. I think you're right, I bumped the price a bit. I want to keep it affordable but I don't want anyone to think I skimped on anything either. Im just trying to keep this as a hobby/side project kinda thing  :)

I think that price strikes a good balance. By the way, I love the sound of your friend's Tele Deluxe!

what was the initial price?

I agree with everyone that this is an outstanding deal for this kind of quality. You'll have no problem selling your whole batch.
