Skreddy Lunar Module & Screwdriver Discontinued!

[Mac-P]

Marc's site says: "DISCONTINUED - new version coming"

http://skreddypedals.com/skreddy_pedals_lunar_module.htm

Same for the deluxe models. Pretty sure this echoes what he said in a previous post about making 5 knobs on top of the smaller enclosures happen "at some point".

I think that just made my night. I think :D

[circusinthesky]

Wow. This should be cool. I love my Lunar Module, but I frequently wish the trim pots were on the outside. I also suspect that I might have kept my Screwdriver if I had played with the trim pots.

[Skreddy]

Right. There are a few pending orders in the pipeline, and some dealers are getting a few of the current versions (Cowtown Guitars in Las Vegas (http://www.cowtownguitars.com/) and Joe's Pedals in London (http://www.joespedals.com/)) this week, for all of you who need one in the current version right away.

[circusinthesky]

Marc, did you ever get production moved off-site, or did that not work out as planned? I know you were looking at something local, and there were some pics of the work that looked okay. Just curious. No need to respond if you don't care to do so.

[J.T.]

Any pics? pricing?

[Pewtershmit]

you doing a waiting list marky mark??

[cbpickin]

Ahhrg! I just got my Deluxe a month ago and I love it, but I would really love it in a smaller enclosure. That's ok, I'll sell for a fortune when everyone says the big box version sounds better.:)

[MRCHILL4]

love my 3 skreddy pedals, they all cover very different ground. the screwdriver just amazes me again and again. once the trimpots are set, your golden. the lunar module is just sick !

[orogeny]

yes f*cking way

send me a lunar!

may we order yet?!

will it be something like this?

Lol - yea, real estate is where its at... sold my standard for a deluxe, then haven't changed it from Marc's factory settings. I was thinking about going back to a standard just for the sake of space. Maybe I will also wait till everyone 'realizes' the bigger box sounds better (it always does with alliteration).

[Skreddy]

No pre-orders, no waiting lists, please. The Screw Driver and Lunar Module will just be off-line for a short while. And, yeah; the big box version will no doubt be sought after when they are gone. :p So grab up Cowtown Guitars and Joe's Pedals stock while you can.

[Rowz]

Right.

i need to ask you if they will sound different to the actual versions?
or just will be a new version with different format?
i got them both and i love it.

I had a standard, but I use the external knobs on my Deluxe all the time. I wouldn't trade size for not have easy external access to them. The Deluxe is no bigger than a Barber pedal or a Diamond comp, etc. so it's not that big of a deal. The important thing is that it sounds killer!

[Skreddy]

Same circuit and parts; just more compact layout.

[teleclem]

Cool. I guess I shouldn't let go of my sd deluxe then. I probably will let go of the standard lunar though (if a smaller deluxe comes out).

[JGonzalez]

This is great news! I was just debating on moding my Celtic Cross Screwdriver to a "deluxe jr". :p

Mind sharing any info regarding availability or apearance of the Screwdriver?

[Mac-P]

Same circuit and parts; just more compact layout.

Cool. :rockin

Marc I always wondered: why was the sharpness control on the top, and the bright controlled via the trim pot? Personally I think the opposite would be much more useful, at least to me. I keep the pre-gain & sharpness (on the SD & LM) at the same settings all the time, yet need to adjust brightness to the room/amp. I imagine many people would've preferred the more conventional layout of being able to adjust vol gain & bright on the fly.

By the way, I have & love a lot of your stuff; but I think the SD & LM are your masterpieces. So good. :D

The sharpness fundamentally controls the character of the distortion, as much as the gain control does. If you don't love to play with that knob, I don't know what's wrong with you. ;)

But the bright control? Seems to me you mate that with your amp one time and you're done. If the room you're playing needs more top end, you'd want to turn up the treble on your amp, wouldn't you? I mean unless you're using the Screw Driver as an always-on thing and just want to eq your rig with it.

[zosozep7]

Cant wait to see the new version! I have both large and small box versions right now. Hope Marc has a cool graphic on the new versions. Like a solar eclipse or some spacey graphic.

[Godspeed64]

It's true. The world is ending in 2012!!!!
Marc just accelerated it!

Already got a screw driver and pig mine.

If one doesn't crop up on ebay, I'll be ordering a Lunar Module deluxe from Joe's pedals as soon as it's in stock! ;)

totally agree. brite is set and forget. i wrote a long post about settings on this puppy (some time ago). the sharpness is totally key for me if i change my gain setting. as far as i'm concerned, you can't change the gain without adjusting that knob (though i can get away with increasing the PRE-gain knob and not have to mess with it). . . heeeeeeeeeeeeeey. . . why is that?

oddly enough, that's what i do most of the time. i MAY be a somewhat un-orthodox user of the screwdriver (or just not how many/most use it).

i have my gain set at like 9 or 10 oclock. pregain is OFF. i use it in a very tube-screamer sort of way (this is where i feel like ahnold . . . like i should say IT'S NOT A TUBER). what i mean is, i like the clipping, eq, and compression that i get there, and i get some nice bluesish lead tones that have a low-mid thing going on there. it's also really good for chords at that setting.

meanwhile, if i want more gain, i use my foot to dial that lower right knob (pre-gain). there is enough gain in there alone to knock my socks off.

and furthermore, as it is essentially a BOOST before the fuzz circuit (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG!), I have found that i also dig having it OFF and using a different KIND of boost before it (the timmy set with some pretty hard grind. . . aka around 1 oclock).

this setup KILLS. it has taken all comers and sent a LOT of other pedals away. . . DLS, fetto, brown rabbit, throbak odb. . . all just this past year.

oh, and for good measure i use another timmy on the post-side as a clean boost (used to be a katana, but the timmy is more versatile).

[whoismarykelly]

Looking forward to the new versions for sure! I guess I'll need one of each ;)

[cajone5]

Epic -- I'm definitely picking up another Screwdriver Deluxe -- that thing is hands down the most versatile pedal I've owned. Does everything from gritty OD to woofy fuzz and does them all really well!

Looking forward to the new design(s) Marc :aok

[Fuzzlight]

Very cool indeed, Thanks Marc, can't wait for them to arrive in the UK. I have already had a couple of requests for the last of these current versions so they are not going to last long.
looking forward to the new ones too, i'm sure they are going to be superb!

I play SG's with humbuckers so there is plenty of signal & low end going into the pedal. I have the sharpness control set all the way up on both my SD & Lunar because that is the spot with the most midrange & I've noticed it cuts through the mix much better there with the most definition. I've never been one for "extra" bass on my guitar, so I prefer that sharpness 75% or higher. The Screwdriver is sort of "hot-rodded Marshally" at that setting (pre-gain maxed, bright at 1:00, gain at 3:00).

I use similar settings on the Lunar and it's plenty fuzzy haha. Again, I prefer the sharpness all the way up with less of the bass fuzzing (there's still plenty of low end). And like I said, more mids = fatter sound in the mix and DEFINITELY better sound for soloing.

As far as the bright control, I play through two different amps weekly at different places, and they each respond to pedals with slightly different peaks & resonant frequencies. I set each amp for a good clean tone, and then match my pedals to it so that they are the most transparent; volume & EQ-wise. Sometimes that involves a minor tweak to the gain, volume or tone control. Also, different rooms can make the relationship between the pedal & amp change slightly, especially playing at different volumes depending on circumstances. For instance, if an amp is cranked, the treble of a pedal seems to be more present. If I turn down the amp, the clean tone can sort of stay the same, but certain dirt pedals can sound slightly darker, hence wanting to be able to turn up the tone a bit.

Since the SD/LM's brite is a trim pot I've just dealt because I love them & they still are unrivaled in the higher gain department on my board. But I've definitely wished that I had that control at my fingertips to make minor tweaks on the fly, like I can with other dirt pedals.

That said, even though I've tried out pedals that were as small yet "more convenient" in that regard to possibly replace them, nothing has been able to kick them off the board. Nothing sounds as good, straight up. Not gonna mention any names here, but you've beaten just about every fuzz, high gain or Marshally flavor of the month pedal with just the SD/LM. Very impressive man. I love em. Those two, my Barber Tone Pump for low/med gain & DM-2 are the staples of my board that are all undefeated. I sorta feel like I won the lottery :D

Looking forward to what you have up your sleeve bro. Cheers!

Marc


PS: here's a clip of me doing a solo with the Screwdriver. Im playing through a Fender Blues Jr. The 1st part of the song is the Tone Pump. When I start soloing about 3/4 thru the tune @ 3:44 I kick the SD on. Please excuse the drum machine & lack of bass player, it's was just a rehearsal to work on stuff haha :

Awesome song! Great playing! Has a Jerry Garcia vibe without being meandering. I hear a lot of great influences in there (Steely Dan, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, et al), but it's not derivative. I like how you use your overdrive as more of a treble/articulation boost with just a bit of touch-sensitive grit. Makes your Blues Jr sound more like an old amp (but I can't place the specific model it reminds me of).

Thank you for the kind words fellow Marc! Much appreciated! Indeed, love Jerry, Larry, Jimmy & Carlos as well as a whole slew of other players I grew up with. Just focusing on melody & then whatever happens happens ;)

Yep, good observation on using the low gain overdrive. I like that phrase "articulation boost" - well said. You kinda don't even know there's OD unless I dig in. The higher gain Screwdriver on the other hand is very interesting. I love how much sustain there is while still staying very dynamic. Lots of gain, but defined & clear. Extremely musical. Very 70's to my ear. It's definitely something that is best appreciated by feeling the notes underneath your fingers rather than just listening. Very unique. I've never played a pedal that has quite that ratio of cool things going on all at the same time. :aok Thank you!

[Dred/Fryer]

o.0 Can't wait for the new Lunar Module

[zerorez]

Great news and a definite win for Skreddy, streamlining models will speed up production and cut down expenses.

Best wishes to Marc and the crew at Skreddy!, look forward to the new products in the near future!

:beer

[((TechnicolorSkyline))]

Yes!!! I will be ordering one of each :aok

[jb1911]

Every time I play with my Screw Driver I'm amazed all over again.

[jaxapi]

i had an old screwdriver (with only one trimpots !), this new is exactly what i was waiting before ordering again !!

[itkindaworks]

This could get awesome.

[Bloomfield fan]

My Skrecho is one my favorite pieces of gear.

[100JH]

Love me some Skreddy. Got the Pink Flesh, Pig Mine, Echo, SD Deluxe and the LM with the older graphic (below). Great products and great service. Marc is A1 in my book and is one of my "top 3" (the other two being Cornish and Effectrode). Always looking for new stuff from Marc/Skreddy.

Anyone know how he came up with "Skreddy"? Never knew the origin of the companies name.

[PerFusionist]

From interview of Marc on DiscoFreq's Effects Database:

In the 80's, I had the nickname "Skredd," which was taken from the Muppet "Scred," who was featured in the first season of Saturday Night Live, just before the Muppet Show was created. Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb68zu_dTmU)'s Scred in his most touching moment onscreen.

I liked the Echoplex logo, which is kind of like the stereophonic logos that were on album covers in the 60's; squeezed in the middle and fat at both ends. The font I use is a Led Zeppelin-inspired font like from the Houses of the Holy album.

I'm so glad I've held off on the Lunar Module. I am definitely going to pick one of the new ones up.

I've been waiting to pull the trigger, too. but now i have to wait even longer. GAS is brewing.

[Last]

I just received my LM DLX literally 4 days ago.

It is a Robo Pimp Model however. Now that's gonna be really rare!

Do I hear $900.00 PP'd (Gifted of course), shipped? :rotflmao:rotflmao

Congrats to you Marc! Wishing you continued success! :bow

[geetarman]

This is why I love Skreddy pedals Marc never rests on his laurels.

[J.T.]

Any ETA on new design Availability?

[ciclosonico]

I've been away from pedals and forums for quite a long time now, so I just read the news today...
WOW I can't wait to see how the new pedals will look like :)
I was saving money for a LM Dlx, because of the 5 knobs.. now I'm happy to know it will have a smaller enclosure.
Top Fuel also was in my sight... and I read it's been re-tweaked!
Man, that's pure 100% Gas Attack!!!

[Mac-P]

Top Fuel also was in my sight... and I read it's been re-tweaked!


Yes, I saw that too! The Top Fuel was always one of my favorite pedals of Marc's. For warm full bodied super clear infinite sustain searing solos that stand out in a mix I don't think I've ever played a pedal that does it quite as well. Even though I love the Pink Flesh I have to say that the Top Fuel for me, was much better in a band mix, and every bit as musical, nasty yet smooth, evil & bad-ass. ;)

The one thing I always noticed was that turning the volume up on the Top Fuel increases the mids. I really love the sound when the volume is at about 3:00 & tone set very low (FAAT), but by then the pedal was a bit too loud for me. Marc, I always wondered if that increase in mids could be had at a slightly lower volume on the pedal. Maybe a toggle switch? And I know you tweaked the circuit of the TF towards the end there (after the gearmandude demo). How much different is this tweak?

Either way though, so glad to see the Fuel as a main pedal again. Cheers! :beer

[Skreddy]

I've got the mids as loud as they can be (without adding a parametric mid-boost circuit). Turning up the volume tends to make everything have more mids, though. ;) The tone knob is tuned so it'll still get a great sound even at full-counter-clockwise; in fact it's less constricted now at that setting.

The latest tweaks aren't radical; just minor fixes to issues that bugged me, with everything done to maximize the Top Fuel's unique qualities and abandon any earlier attempts at making it sound like just another muff.

My question wasn't really even a quibble, I was just curious. Yep, I run the tone knob between off & 9:00 if the volume is lower down. If I inch the volume up higher the mids increase & it gets fatter, so the tone control can come all the way up as well (to like 3:00) to add more top end without sounding thin or shrill. Really awesome pedal, and I haven't even tried the new one ;)

As far as the Top Fuel sounding like any other muff I'd say you nailed all the good qualities of the Muff, and got rid of all the bad ones (like getting buried in the mix). For some reason it was overshadowed by the Pink Flesh, but having owned three Pink Fleshes (still have 2), I don't think there is any comparasin for band playing (TF = doesn't get lost - at all). And it works better with pedals like phasers & vibes. Win.

:JAM

[Skreddy]

Yeah; also has high input impedance, unlike a typical muff. Try it with a wah; the mids-on-mids action is super hot.

Deluxe Guitars (http://www.deluxeguitars.com.au/) in Australia is our newest dealer, and they will be getting the last shipment of the old small and large standard and deluxe Screw Drivers and Lunar Modules in about 2 weeks. Also, Cowtown Guitars (http://www.cowtownguitars.com/) in Las Vegas is due to get a shipment of Skreddies soon. After that I want all decks cleared (I want them to sell out) before I release the new Mini Deluxe versions...

[62Tele]

Could you give us an estimate as to when you think these will be obtainable? Weeks? Months?

[Lance]

Sorry to be, late to the party, guy, but just yesterday I got a Top Fuel from the emporium. I just took it for my first spin of any Skreddy. I can't believe I didn't get one of these years ago!!! Marc, I'm sure you've heard this from lots of players but, HOLY CRAP this is exactly what I was looking for in a pedal. I got it just in time to throw it on the board for Saturday night's gig, which we will be playing Comfy Numb, and I am really looking forward to unleashing this tone on a crowd. Let me just say, Fekking good on ya, mate! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Maybe the Skreddy Super Skrull from Marvel Comics, that does stretchy, firey, rocky, transparent tones. LOL!!!!

Nice work, dude! I like this almost as much as my Ethos.

Great Marc, thanks.

I really appreciate the way you've responded to your customers with this design change - two already great pedals just got even more useful. Seems like it might even simplify your production as well.

i don't know. . . . did he beat me to it?

:BluesBros

but, then again. . . .i didn't do it myself. . . .

[orogeny]

marc, i have a suggestion for you (personally, i think it's fookin' brilliant)

. . . . you need to sell giftcards/certificates for the holidays. . .. my brother would easily buy a $50 one for me. . . .

[pulse.]

So is the regular version not available anymore?

[fugot]

sweet. and I like the gift certificate idea....why has no one thought of that yet?

Only what is left w/ dealers I think

I make no claims other than I love my SD.

Why would it be? The Mini Deluxe makes it redundant.

[thesooze]

Wondering what the price point will be on these Mini Deluxes?

[Liquid_Mojo]

Very nice!

[disconnector]

Hey Marc - can you tell the waiting public the changes that you made to the Top Fuel so that those of us with hot soldering irons and a bit of insanity can mod our old inferior models? I LOVE my Top Fuel - but if you've made it better I'd love to have a listen.

Pretty please with cherries on top?

[cajone5]

His recent top fuel builds sound epic :aok

[disconnector]

My Top Fuel #326 sounds awesome too - it's one of the pedals that will go into my coffin when they bury me. But if Marc has made them "awesomer" then I want to join the party baby!

[t-rey]

[Skreddy]

My Top Fuel #326 sounds awesome too - it's one of the pedals that will go into my coffin when they bury me. But if Marc has made them "awesomer" then I want to join the party baby!

I'd have to see what yours has in it to know exactly what to change. That's the one pedal I never settled on ('till now, and I think I'm finally done!!), and there are minor variations throughout its history.

One big change here that's never been done is the input cap is now a .047uf (1st version was .068uf, later versions used .1uf).

What I'm using now is a 2N5088 for Q2 and BC239C for Q3 and Q4. I cooled down the input mosfet just a touch from a later revision of 100 ohm source resistor back to 820 ohms like the 1st version. The tone stack's change to make it less constricted was to change the 3.3nf (lowpass cap) to 5.6nf along with changing the 33k (lowpass resistor) to 18k--same filter curve, less volume loss. I'm using 220pf as the nfb filter on Q2 and moved up to a 560pf nfb filter on Q3. I also increased the always-on treble cut at the tone-stack position from .001uf to .002uf. That's pretty much it, I think. I'll put up a schematic/layout...

How's this for folks who don't like the primary color red? I've been thinking gold is a better "tone" color for the Screw Driver anyway... :idea

Working on the gift certificate idea. I'm trying to add that as a menu item that shows up on every page.

Anyhow, refresh your browser to see a new version of me trying to get a proper "gold" color in PaintShop Pro (forgive the over-the-top stripey reflective property; just trying to get across a translucent gold powdercoat over brushed aluminum)...

Marc, my only request is definitely a larger place for battery,
I'm often in trouble with my LM and SD, batteries don't get easily into these pedals!

Gold looks nice,

Sorry about the tight space. I set my boxes up with Energizers; but it turns out those are every-so-slightly thinner than every other brand!

Thanks for the feedback. Since I shaved about a millimeter off the width of my circuitboard when I re-designed it, I can afford to move the jacks and footswitch up a milli for more battery space. :)

I love it how a builder is willing to talk to and listen to his customers like this - kudos Marc! I will order a SDlx for sure!

[BAN]

I don't know how many times I'm going to buy these pedals before I realize there's nothing better out there and I just settle down with them for good. Add the Top Fuel to that list and we're looking at well over a dozen buys and re-buys. I love the new layout. A lot.

[FindThePocket]

I just got a lunar module yesterday. It's awesome! I finally like fuzz. I've tried a few, but this is the first one I feel like is useable in a band (for me). Dang - now I want to try the other pedals...

once AGAIN, marc. . . you have met and exceeded my expectations.

now, if i can only get dave barber to put the tone press in one of these boxes! (not going to happen)

i'm sooooooooo looking forward to seeing if this will 'bump' the pig off my #1 board in 'that' spot. i'm a sucker for sustainia with my slow left hand. meanwhile, whichever becomes #2 will have great company on my 'other' board. that one only has 5-6 pedals instead of 13. . . .

the metallic mustard is no longer visible. i like the gold. i also love the hammerite someone posted. however, none of it really matters to me, as i am the proud owner of the very first screwdriver deluxe you ever sold . . . and subsequently had it put it into the mini-deluxe box it currently resides in.

i can't help posting this thread for old-time's sake. . . (or is it old-times' sake?)

thanks again, marc. i'm an old man (ok, only 42. . . . but that's OOOOOOOOLD when you work with little school kids. . . trust me, they WILL TELL YOU!), but i'm feeling like a little kid at christmas. . . . and last christmas santa got me an analogman astrotone AND a gayle winde guitar strap!

[Skreddy]

I really like the idea of the Screwdriver Deluxe. Which one would be better for 'traditional' fuzz face sounds, and do either have a bias style control to get some sputtery/velcro/exploing amp type of sounds?

Well, the Screw Driver is tuned to maximize those clear, sparkly overdrive sounds you get with a good Fuzz Face when you turn down the guitar's volume knob. The Screw Driver takes the input with a mosfet (very clear and bright with high input impedance) then sends it to a low-gain hybrid fuzz (silicon into germanium) that's gentle, low-noise, and soft. It'll still get plenty of fuzz with the knobs set to extremes, but the fuzz is a nice soft kind of fuzz, like a warm fuzzy blanket, very mushy and harmonic like power-tube distortion.

The Lunar Module is all silicon transistors (not super high input impedance but not too low either), and it's tuned to maximize smooth, sustaining fuzz but does all kinds of touch-sensitive distortion, overdrive, and even gritty, brassy clean boost. It's got more "balls" than the Screw Driver, like a silicon Fuzz Face has more balls than a germanium Fuzz Face. But it's tuned to be more aggressive and not so clear and chimey.

[sickboy79]

Wow - late to the party on this one. Glad I get me my Skreddy's!

My Screwdriver Deluxe is on your bench right now (weird static at low volume - yeah I'm that guy ;) ) as well and I want to say that I've honestly never experienced customer service like you've shown. You make amazing stuff and you seem to be an amazing person as well. Thanks again!

:agree
i think that's the coolest finish of all skreddy pedals i've seen so far "on the market" (as yellow as it looks like, not goldish); black+yellow is the best combination :BluesBros
my sugest about yellow colour finish, use: cyan: 0%, magenta: 10%, yellow: 100%, black: 0%

howcome we can't not get ourselfs on a waiting list for newer Screwdriver as it was before i mean, in both ways it's the same thing, as now as before, we'll need to wait couple of months right?! :)

[tonecontrol]

yes the yellow is purdy!!

[cajone5]

Agreed. Yellow fits the sound better as the SD can get nice and bright.

I can't wait for these. I'm gonna build a grab-n-go board around the new screwdriver dlx

[TheRiotTapes]

Is it just a colour change? Was about to buy the Screwdriver Deluxe... should I wait??

I'm trying to make sure any dealer orders have been cleared/sold out before I release the new version. This is to keep them from potentially being stuck with the less-popular version. So no more are being sold until that happens.

Try Joe's Pedals (http://www.joespedals.com/) in London and see if he has one left.

[cwcashiniv]

[62Tele]

Yeah, gold is great - and add some herringbone binding around it for a little retro bling! So let's see a mockup of the new Lunar Module - how about a bronze or copper? Silver?

[Mac-P]

http://skreddypedals.com/circuits/ScrewDriver/GoldBoxGraphicsPreview.jpg

I can see this as having sort of a Marshall faceplate vibe with the gold & black which would work beautifully, especially if it's more gold than yellow. I think the "Screw Driver" font would be better as solid rather than the outline. ;)

Just my 2 cents!

:rockin

[Dale]

I am not a yellow fan, but I love the pedal and the color will not slow me down.

[vintage66]

Gold sparkle would be cool. Otherwise, I like my red one (not a deluxe). The red is a nice color in person.

[Whiskey N Beans]

Gold is perfect for this pedal. As it's pretty much a perfection of a dirt box worthy of the accolade. Not unlike the Sun Face. Anyway, get them going, get them out. I'm already to get in line for one. Thanks.

[fugot]

unfinished metal like the supatone and zero old school would be cool I think. but dang the tone is so great in this pedal, i would not really care. though i dig the black finish on the lunar deluxe.

[ajoel32]

There was a Screwdriver Deluxe that was just in the emporium in a brushed aluminum that looked bad to the bone. I'd vote for that for both the SD and LM mini-deluxe's.

[TheRiotTapes]

Getting my SD Deluxe this week. One of the last of the current model ones in the wild I think.

Sooooooooo excited.

[Ech0]

how is that possible, are u marc's cousin or so?

I've been thinkin, call me old school, but I think this graphic of the Screw Driver is simply iconic and is what I think of when I see the pedal in my head:


http://www.mtlutherie.com/shop/Skreddy/GraphicSD.JPG


Is there any way to do that or a similar graphic that is silk screened & powder coated; sort of the way Catalinbread does their graphics?
(ex: http://Catalinbread.com/PARE )

I think that would just be as classic as classic gets.

Not with silkscreen, but I could do full-color print on plastic labels like Malekko used to do when they first came out...

I've looked into those before, and they're a little bit pricey, so we haven't gone for it yet.

But that would still be a sticker on top of the powdercoat (and sorta vulnerable)?

Not sure I described the right method for the way Catalinbread does those graphics. Is that silkscreening? Whatever the method, that kinda thing lasts forever & is much more durable than any hand applied gloss or paint (which chips so easily).

Is there a way to get that original Screw Driver graphic to be a permanent part of the finish like that? Even if the graphic needed to have some of the color & detail simplified a bit. I used to do graphics & many times had to reduce a bitmap image to a vector one. If done right it can look great. Either way, I betchya that would be beyond ultra-cool. ;)

Those plastic stickers that Malekko used are tough and not the same as a decal or a paper label.

I could maybe work out a 3-color version with either halftone or lineart, but it would definitely lose that "spooky" flavor that the full-color has.

[zosozep7]

Would love to see the DSOTM graphic on the new LM. I dont believe this would infringe on Pink Floyd would it?

Marc, would you sell the pedal unpainted? Just a metal box? Ive seen on Kit Raes site how to make your own graphics for any pedal you want and would be interested in doing something like this to my LM! This way you wouldnt have to deal with lawsuits. Or would you? It would be my own doing.

[brettmoor]

So will these be priced the same as the former standard or deluxes?

[Dr. Sleepy]

+1 on DSOTM graphic for the new ones.

[teleclem]

+1 on DSOTM graphic for the new ones.

Yes :aok

[Mac-P]

+1 on DSOTM graphic for the new ones.


I personally very much prefer the LM in the starshine. Mine is absolutely the coolest looking pedal on my board. It just sparkles like it is special ;)

Also, although it may have been inspired by Time on DSOTM, there are so many other uses for the LM (which pretty much is a modernized perfected fuzz face "plus") that the Floyd-ish graphic doesn't do nearly enough justice to just how much that little box is capable of.

Throw that thing together with a vibe & it's instant Hendrix, or crank it though a Vox & you have Brian May. Eric Johnson is in there, and you can get a really really cool Eddie Van Halen-esq lead tone. And it cleans up better than any fuzz with that much gain that I have ever used. A serious serious pedal that deserves it's own identity.

Just my 2 1/2 cents :D

:rockin

[deeohgee]

As a Floyd non-fan I'd love to have a LM but I sure don't want the DSOTM graphic.

I pre-ordered before the pre-order was open. I had ordered a standard LM about a week before it got pulled, so I emailed Marc and asked him to change my order to the new model, which he did. I would assume that mine was in the first batch to be shipped.

We're stocked for orders up through most of Nov 19, and are still billing and building up to that point. Hopefully the production delays will be kept to a minimum. Will compose a mass email explaining what's up probably today as soon as I finish rectifying order dates with expected delivery of new boxes, etc.

For me it was exactly what I had been dreaming of for years. I had an original one, but hated the trimpots, then I had the Deluxe and size became an issue. So, when I learned about the mini-deluxes it felt as though you had been reading my mind.
