Will any of the first batch be going to Strings Direct in the UK? i.e. can I order from them or do I need to order direct?

Pricing on the Launch pad will be under $150, pricing on the DD DC will be under $199.

We hope to ship some to our friends and Strings Direct, if they put in an order we will deliver the goods. :)

Love the DD/DC logo, and the look of the new LP, David! (Would you believe that I wouldn't feel tempted to change the color of the knobs on either of those from your stock colors? LOL) The clear knobs are especially cool on the hammertone LP.

Just wondering, was there a reason you didn't go smaller with the LP (à la Gain Changer, Tone Press, etc.)? Circuit/components too big? Need extra room for the higher voltage? Again, just wondering...

The Launch pad works well at regular size, most of the people who have asked me to downsize it also want to remove features. Mostly they want a clean boost with one knob, so that's not really a Launch pad. I like the idea of not sending everything down the rabbit-hole over the "make it tiny" fad. When the fad is over I still want to have cool products, so I am only picking certain products that align well with the current compact-dogma, but not pandering too much with the pedals that work best as things were for the last 40 years before the tiny feet plague . :)

Hello David!

How flat can the Dual Direct Drive's mids go? Is it flat like an LTD SR or flat like the mid trim on the Super Sport which can almost get into scooped mids territory? Thanks!

It's about the same as the Super Sport with added range toward the top (extra mids for fat solos if needed).
