update on the NOCTURNE..those keeping score

Nice job there TV. You've really done your homework on the electronics of the 301, and it shows in the sound of your pedal. My one bit of unsolicited advice, though, would be to not only market it as an amp. effect but also as an effects pedal, because, unfortunately, alot of "mainstream" players who aren't as gung-ho into the Setzer sound as all of us are, aren't going to have the vintage tube amps and are looking for more of a portable "plug and play" type of device. Still, it's your choice and I wish ye the best of luck in its success.

So how much do ye figure for shipping to Davy Jones' Locker?

I understand, although I dont want mainstream players to have one nor do I want them to be able to "plug and play". If they aint really rockabilly musicians that dig Setzer then I dont want to sell them one.

I made this thing for me and I think I want to share it with about
50 friends... Thats enough to make hippies jealous of our toys
right?

maybe it should be called the Hippie Killer instead of the nocturn?
That make my folks very proud!

just a quick update. found an EE to schem a PCB for me. He has
found a way to make the circuit board as small as the space inside
the RE301's circuit space for the head amp.
This pre amp pedal will be the size of a small hammond box, one knob
with dip switch inside for bass cut and 35-50db boost/cut.
Doesnt get any more simple. Should be able to start building the
first batch before the Fourth of July.

stay tuned

Sounds great. Put me down in that first batch, please. If you need a deposit - just let me know.

Looking forward to hearing it in person!

hmm, sounds like this will be a killer combination together with a BOSS DM-3, no need for a big Roland box then

yepp, me to if possible

I will be starting a list soon and it'll all be through paypal. Indeed
I want to compile all those interested on this thread first.

you KNOW me three...

Please count me in for one

Since I just spent all my money on the SSLVO I would want to wait till I know what the actual price is. I'm still interested though!

I'm also very very interested, but I'd need to know what they cost.

I am interested as well, but let us know when you have a price point, then I'll confirm. Things are pretty tight!

I'm defo interested TV, but PayPal? Yechhh!

How else would I be able to accept credit card? ..since I use paypal for my guitar shop biz, it'll have to do for me to get pedals to everyone from 3 continents so far.
I am happy to accept cash at my front door
though, or be flown to your front door for delivery.

I like Pay Pal.

As long as both seller and buyer are legit and trustworthy I see no problem with Paypal. I bought my SSLVO via PayPal for god's sake

I buy EVERYTHING with paypal, so much so I now carry a paypal debit card and they give me a small buyer reward credit each time.

..but the bastards charge me 3% to receive payments..oh well. The
services outway the charges.. Instant shipping labels with tracking freaking rule...

Wow TV...count me in too...sounds awesome!!! I want a hippie killer!!!

I am in if the price is right.

It's an amp effect so it needs to go near the end of the pedal board, but before or after the delay?

I just had a more "vintage" electronic engineer from Raytheon fix
things so it will sit before any effect that has a buffered bypass.
So you dont want to place non true bypass pedals in front of it (cuz
I'm not interested in adding a buffer circuit, you can buy drop in
versions of those from Barber for $45).
Its going to have a bass boost to help out plank guitarists with open back combos.. (maybe I already said that)

btw.. why dont you return emails man of southern mystery?

Hmmmmm. I haven't gotten any recently. You're one of the few I respond to these days. ROFL. Try again.

we gonna see you next week Nikko?
