Spring updates (plus free shipping sale)

Spring is here! It’s been awhile since I posted an update, so I wanted to write a note about what’s been happening lately.

Free shipping on 2 or more boards

For starters, through the end of the month (March 31) I’m running a small sale: free shipping worldwide if you order 2 or more boards. Enter the code “SPRINGFREE” when you check out and it’ll be applied. (Note that due to a quirk of the store system, you will still need to choose “Free Shipping” from the select list after entering the coupon.)

Restocks

Around the beginning of the year I was having trouble keeping the Refractor (Klon Centaur), Cerulean (Bluesbreaker) and Stratus (Tube Screamer) in stock. I’ve got enough on-hand now to last for a long time, so if any of these were unavailable last time you checked, they’re available now.

Cerulean (Bluesbreaker) PCB revision

The Cerulean project has been updated following a couple of reports of bypass switch popping. Apparently this a problem in Bluesbreaker PCBs from other DIY sites as well. More information is available on the Cerulean project page and in the revised documentation, including how to fix this on a pre-revision PCB.

250k dual pots for Nimbus (OD-820) at Small Bear

Steve at Small Bear Electronics has started stocking 250k linear dual PCB-mount pots for my Nimbus (Maxon OD-820) project. (Up until now you had to get the pots from Tayda and do some tedious soldering if you wanted it to be PCB-mounted.)

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thank you for your support!
