Same great gear - New low prices - Creation Audio Labs

TGP members,

To make a long story short, we are going to direct sales only, no more dealers, we'll now be selling to the public basically at dealer cost.

We know that the economy is impacting everyone - players, dealers, manufacturers - and we wanted to get the cost much lower for the end user. The dealer mark up was the "fat" we could cut out to get the lowest price point for the customer and not lose our hide. We appreciate the small network of dealers that has worked with us over the past few years and have worked out a fair deal with each of them.

With the economy slowing down we've seen our sales grind to a halt over the past few months. We want more musicians to have access to the gear we make and we need sales to pick up. The only consistent complaint we've had on any of our products is that the price was too high for the average user to bite off on, no matter how high the quality was or how great the product is. We had to build in a mark up for dealers to profit from selling our product line, but this put our street pricing higher than many people could stand. This change puts all of our products within easier reach for more players. It's a win-win situation.

All of our products are hand built by real people in the USA. Creation Audio Labs gear is as American Boutique as it gets. We intend to keep it that way and hold that flag high even when many other manufacturers are moving offshore for cheaper labor.

So to sum things up: Same great gear - New low price.

$49 Redeemer Circuit - Unleash your tone, preserve your tone and take your tone further.
$149 MK.4.23 Boost Pedal (9v or 48v Pro Series) - The most transparent boost pedal on the planet. +24 or +30 dB boost.
$195 Holy Fire Overdrive/Distortion Pedal - Overdrive & distortion that responds like a tube and leaves your tone intact.
$795 MW1 Studio Tool - The ultimate D.I. & re-amplification device designed with mega producer Michael Wagener.

Free shipping on every order - UPS Ground to the continental United States.

Visit our website and order yours today: www.creationaudiolabs.com

I have a Redeemer in my Anderson and love it. I have a Holy Fire on the way and will report on it in the pedal section.

Thanks guys and good luck. You make great gear.

Now, I need a 3-band parametric with one band lo-shelf with variable freq and slope. Then a center band bell true parametric and the third band hi-shelf.

With this, we could do our own analog emulations of the response of various amps and really get just the sounds we want.

I know, you'd sell three of them, but I would buy 2!

Smooth Move! See you at the NY show. Your pedals were one of the highlights IMHO.

I own, play and love the MK.4.23 and anxiously await a Holy Fire that will arrive any day now. I played it at last year's NY Amp Show (Thanks, Loni) and loved it. The price drop made it a no-brainer. In fact, there are now 3 of my friends that have ordered a Holy Fire since the price drop.

Thanks!

Wheels

Danny,

Your stuff has a great rep and certainly deserves the best opportunity to be in the hands of musicians...whatever it takes! We, your fellow Nashvegan's at HipKitty Products wish you the best with this direction.

Maybe I'll step away from "the job" at some point and come over for a visit sometime...

Again, the best of luck!

I'm buds with a guy named Billy Dawson (I was his youth pastor) and we stayed with him when we went thru Nashville to Florida this past summer. Billy brought Brian and his wife (Candace I believe?) back here where he's from to take Brian and his wife up to the mountains... Ask Brian about the stage show 'Texas' and what he thought of the weather there in the Texas panhandle...
