I'm one lucky SOB - Brand new Sunlion
I feel bad even posting this but I needed to share the excitement. I e-mailed Analogman about 2 weeks ago to ask him about the status of the Sunlion pedal (i.e. if they are ever planning on putting them into production again). He replied that they had 1 lying around the shop as they had built a couple for Doyle and KWS. So I jumped on it. Mike is such a fantastic guy to deal with. He sold it to me at the original price even though these things are rare as hen's teeth and selling for a lot more around here and on e-bay. The pedal is hand stamped so it doesn't have the original Lion eating the Sun graphic but it sounds amazing. It has TI/UK transistors on the Sunface side (similar to high gain NKT275 per AM website). Anyway, since a picture's worth a thousand words and I feel like I'm rambling, here you go. Enjoy

That kick's serious ass! I love my SunLion so much I still feel like I'm in the honeymoon stage... and I've had it for over 2 years! Goes to show that it never hurts to ask.

man, you are lucky! Did he happen to mention if they would be making any more batches in the near future? I've wanted to one of these for quite some time.

Mike is a gentleman I have great respect for.
Everything he has posted to Australia has arrived promptly and professionally packed.
He has answered EVERY email I ever sent him politely and patiently.
I have always appreciated that he has never patronized what I guess to him must be simple/ basic questions which many might already know the answer to.

His customer service is excellent .:AOK
That's icing on the cake as I (like many) love every pedal he has sent me!!!!!!
Cheers Analogman.:BEER

Amazing score! For lack of a sun lion, I run a sun face into a beano boost. those tasty circuits into a cookin' tube amp represent the finest rock n roll recipe on earth.

smogfalls - Mike didn't mention if they were going to be making these again any time soon. If I get more info, I'll post it here. I am getting ready to get off work and go home to enjoy my new stompbox. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Great pedal... congrats! I scored mine in the emporium just before the prices skyrocketed. I hope he makes them again. I have no desire to sell mine.

Congrats! I've got one myself. One of my favorite pedals. The Beano side is almost worth the price of admission alone! The Beano stacked with the Sun Face together is like PB and J!!!

I remember lusting for a Sunlion a few years back, and finally had an opportunity to buy one in the fall of 2007 at an amazing price. It hasn't come off my board since. Both sides absolutely kick ass. Congrats on the purchase!
