An infinity of tiny steps is still infinite.

Work continues. I haven't been posting as often because I have been finishing off the Choices modules since the last update. :P
They should theoretically be completed by Tuesday - "theoretically" because I am obviously completely incapable of estimating periods of time - after which I am going to sleep for a day and then begin work on the Infernal Noise Machines.

Getting there! Slowly - ever so slowly - but progressing nonetheless.

Still going...

Sorry again for the lack of updates.

The Plague Bearer repairs took an unanticipated chunk of time, but the worst has passed and a batch of modified PBs are sitting ready to swap for units still in transit.
I am currently working on the frac Choices modules for stock at Analogue Haven. Next will be the LONG-overdue Infernal Noise Machines, for which I am terribly sorry.

more later...

Done with the small stuff...

Time to start sweating the big stuff. :P

The last of the Choices and Plague Bearer items were finished yesterday and will ship today. They took longer than planned due to the PB output revision.
Replacement Plague Bearer PCBs are being express shipped to distributors, so units from their stock will only take a couple days longer and will be good to go.

For those that have not yet contacted me about this issue: it is a very simple fix, so if you are comfortable with removing one or two SMT components, the basic fix is in your PB manual (the gain mod). Remove R6 and replace it with a 10k 1/8W or 1/4W resistor placed in CN2 (the top two holes are connected, so use the bottom hole and one of the other two). If your PB is *really* quiet, you can use a 15k, or even up to a 50k, which will give a gain of 5. For even more fun, just go ahead and put up to a 100k trim pot in CN2 and adjust it to please.

There are a couple other mods which affect the tone of the unit that are SMT-comfortable only, contact me if interested.

Damn, so close!

Well, almost kept on schedule.
A bit of a problem has reared its ugly head, so I wasn't able to get everything accomplished today.

The r3.1 PB has a very low output level, ~±2V maximum, which is a wee quiet! I spent much of today optimizing the component values to correct this error. Fortunately, it is a simple fix.
If you have a rev. 3.1 Plague Bearer, please contact me and we'll get it taken care of swiftly.

I sleep now...

Progress II

Okiedokie, got all the modules & kits finished (I hope!)- email me if you do not receive a shipping notification email by Saturday. I uncovered one order that I forgot to put on the work list, I hope that's the only one.

Choices Barebones:
I ran out of connectors, so I couldn't get those out today. Fortunately, however, I ordered more for stock earlier this week and they will be here tomorrow, so the orders will ship tomorrow as well. Yay!

Na-night all.

Progress

Still on track so far.
Remaining orders for Choices modules, Choices kits, Choices barebones, PB modules, and PB Barebones will ship tomorrow.

Need sleep, more tomorrow.

Time out!

Hello again all, I'm calling a time out for the next couple weeks.
I'm working my way through the backlog of orders right now and don't want to get any further behind, so I am not accepting any orders until further notice.

For those waiting, here's a quick rundown of what & when:

• All Plague Bearer r3.1 Barebones have shipped


• All Plague Bearer r3.1 euro modules ship tomorrow and Thursday


• All Choices euro modules, kits & Barebones should ship tomorrow and Thursday


• Frac Choices will hopefully go out Monday


• Infernal Noise Machines are finally being finished next week


• Quad Plague Bearers are week after next - maybe sooner depending on the INMs

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason. I try to maintain email communication as much as possible, but I tend to freak myself out during production runs and end up in hyper-focus panic mode. Which means I obsess over getting everything finished and forget to do anything else, like sending out notices or updates, eat food, get some freaking sleep, etc.

Emails, however, tend to override my production obsession and activate my "must respond to email!" compulsion, so that's a good thing :)

Thanks all, I'll update the progress list tomorrow.
