Crazy fun and stress I've put on myself..
I've literally only got 6 pedals left in this run, workin hard in a 90 degree shop room out back but cold beer and old rockabilly tunes keep
things in order!

When I'm down in the basement printing, I like to listen to this:

Man! So much for not becoming a manufacturer Tavo! Sounds like you've got business sewn up for the next several years! I'd be honored and thrilled to shoot yer pedals. They sound frigging awesome!

Pedals are freakin sold out...insane. Then the orders kept coming.. then Vince Ray orders one, Vince Ray! ya I know..it sounds like name dropping...oh well, I love Vince Ray's art. I'm thrilled, the painter is thrilled, its slow hard tedious work but its fun. I'm at #14 at the moment. Wife says I should doing some more..we'll see as my average is a pedal and 1/2 a day so far. I've been at this non-stop tryin to keep up. Tonight I fell apart.. friend came over with a nice romeo e julieta cigar for me so we opened the sailor jerry rum. needed a short break. ..but I'm on it first thing tomorrow alllll day, alll weekend.

a one 1x12 enclosed back combo with just the normal channel of a blonde bassman is
being worked on by my engineer friend..but I've got enough "troubles" at the moment
including the purchase of 25 new bare metal pedal boxes... gonna go for a second
batch. The order just happened this morning. I'm nuts.. I must be.

I think you've found your true calling, Tavo. Just take it one day at a time, give yourself plenty of relax-time every week, make sure your customers know that if they want a good product they have to be patient for it (your peace of mind and sanity and happiness is, after all, what ensures a good product). You are absolutely irreplaceable in the niche you've created for yourself. Make the most of it my friend.

Tavo! Tavo! He's our man!

If he can't do it, NO ONE can!

Cool. I've pulled that earlier post 'cause I didn't wanted to keep you away from work answering my unnecessary questions.

Andi might be right, her advice sounds like a healthy route to go. By the way I think she's borrowed it from the latest reissue of the Hippie Manual, just got that from Grandma while she's reading my Rockabilly Handbook 101 which I know inside out. There it says: Make hay while the sun shines!
Go Tavo,
Chrrris

Tavo knows I'm proud to be a quasi hippy. I hope he takes my advice.




Hippy in more ways than one-a-billy

hippy is fine, but not Hippie

Now this is how a GRETSCH should sound straight off the showroom floor!

Anybody did not register
a demo with its night-pedal?

The pedal looks great, TV.

I just need to get off of my ass and get a 6G6-B, not sure how the nocturne would do with the CR. maybe a fully hollow maple gretsch too, but I'd actually need to put down the Spectra Sonic...which isn't happening.

a 1x12 6g6-b normal channel amp??? did I read that correctly?

It would freakin kill with a CR and a spectrasonic dude.. I hotrodded my sons V-18 (crate AC15 vox thing)
and if you keep the master up and the gain low, its impressive...
STILL you NEED a 2x12 6G6-B in the normal channel if youre playin that guitar.. NEED IT..kil for it
as that is what I intended the Nocturne for.

btw.. here is a Kustom Kandy Tangerine MetalFlake finish version going to Vince Ray.. I want one like
this..this to me is the most beautiful paint job ever.. cant imagine how beaut my 54 buick would look
in this color!!
