Out of production?

Hi David,

I saw that the Direct Drive, LTD and LTD SR are out of production. What happened?

...as is the Trifecta. Last David mentioned, they were filling lots of pedal orders, so I don't know. :?

My only guess on the DD and LTD is that the DD-SS and Half Gainer might take their place in the permanent lineup. They both (the -SS and the 1/2 Gainer) seem to be very popular.

It's just like I posted on my website, we don't have the resources to make those pedals at the moment. I am not changing the designs to "iPod sizing and special rare components"as was prophesied at TGP, I know that would be super exciting to the "more new stuff now" crowd, but it's not our gig here. I'll say it again, there will not be new redesigned replacement models, that is not what is happening.

On the bright side, our dealers should have decent stock on their shelves of most of these pedals, so there is no immediate problem there. We wanted to be sure our dealers and customers were informed that we are not going to be churning these pedals out for a while, I hope it is a very short while. The problems are too big and fragmented to go into the trivial minutia with the public, but it is my singular focus to get things running again. We still have a few pedals in production, and anybody who paid us for pedals is going to get them.

If I can get things going again in 1-3 months, that would be truly great, and an optimum scenario...fingers crossed!

We should have some of the basics back in 2-5 weeks if all goes well.
