They were also lying. Orders were closing 10th Dec. Now they've changed it to 25th.
Gamechanger should be called Datechanger amirite


But seriously, they've never dicked anyone around to the best of my knowledge. I got in on the ground floor when they released their first product (the Plasma pedal) and they may have had some scheduling setbacks but I don't remember. All I remember is getting a hella cool pedal from the only company doing anything truly new and original and outstanding.

Yep! I love 'em. Big fan. Cool pedals. One of the few email lists from music companies that I still subscribe to.

Plus pedal is probably my fave guitar pedal I have by a long shot.

Yeah, sorry. I also play barefoot, which I'm not sorry about, but it does make using the plus pedal even easier and more tactile.

A new version of the circuit bent Evil Pumpkin pedal, by Analog Music Company, is on its way: Evil Pumpkin Ghazala Mk.2

https://www.analogmusic.company/news-pr ... as-arrived

or it's a synth/noisemaker that you can also use as a pedal. It depends on how you view these things.

Hard to post this after that highly interesting Gamechanger Recordist—a cheaper and more practical item.

Kevin is retiring EGC per the text from the listing linked below:
Quick announcement, I’m retiring once the current order list is complete, don’t panic! this will take about a year or so to finish, but it means I’ll be making everything and putting them together as it was in the beginning and Eric will do the pickups. We have made roughly 4000 instruments and it’s time for someone else to push this forward. This has been a hard decision but it’s time

I was wondering if everything was ok over his way, he's been super quiet for the past year or so.

EGC, holy fuck. They had seemed less active as of late. Shit.

What I came here to post was this Strymon Fairfax pedal. It's basically a Garnet in a box:
Fairfax began as an engineering experiment, initially inspired by the original Garnet Amplifiers Herzog® tube drive unit designed for Randy Bachman in 1965. Our analog guys decided to try and recreate all of the critical elements of a custom Champ-like tube amp circuit fully in the analog domain, but small enough to fit into a pedal enclosure (so it couldn’t use real tubes or an output transformer).

The final design features a cleverly miniaturized tube preamp, Class A power amp and an ingenious custom circuit that emulates the saturation characteristics of the output transformer (which is absolutely vital to get the sound right).

There’s even a variable Sag circuit that behaves just like a real tube amp does.

I'm a 'garnet nut' and I've liked the cut of the gib of the Strymon people, but for some reason I just can't get excited about that pedal. I think I'm pedal social media saturated so even something that so specifically targets my pleasure center can't get through the barrier of online lobotomization that has taken place.

That and a herzog is close enough to a fuzz, that most of the fun of it comes out of being in it's own box with tubes and some iron
