We have started building the circuit boards for the new particle granular delay. Preorders are ready to go as soon as the enclosures arrive in a few weeks (we’re still taking preorders). You can follow day-to-day progress or yell at us to work faster on Twitter (@redpandalab).
Our reverb is coming along nicely, and should ship 3-4 weeks after the new particle. A new bitcrusher will come after that. It is coming to life on a breadboard this morning :)
Hope everyone in the US enjoys the long weekend. If you happen to be at Movement (DEMF) in Detroit, give us a shout!

Bitcrushers
We have bitcrusher modules in stock, and they seem to be back in stock at Line 6. We are very low on stereo pedals, though. Only a few left. One option is to buy the module from us ($85 with free shipping) and then buy a Line 6 ToneCore pedal with a stereo dock from a music store. The Space Chorus and Liqua-Flange both come with stereo docks and you can find them for $70. The Verbzilla and Echo Park are more expensive, but both are nice pedals. All of the ToneCore modules and docks are interchangeable, so that lets you swap effects out. For example, you could record with the bitcrusher and then switch to a Verbzilla when you mix.
Overdrive. Video by ETI: “Secret overdrive sneak peek. This is not the overdrive of the Orange amp. The amp is set to a clean sound, and the overdrive is coming from a pedal prototype.”
