Earthbound again / Supercollider still dead / Beast rises / Centurions go black

Now that I'm nearly finished all current orders and have had some time to reflect I can happily announce that Earthbound Audio will continue.

Initially I was going to start over from scratch but realized that would be rather pointless. Instead it is time to trim the fat and prepare for the future. This is the status of Earthbound right now:

SUPERCOLLIDER
Still dead as a standalone pedal. I have supplies for 4 more Orange pedals. If interested check my previous post.

BEAST
Back due to popular demand and because I think it is a really rad, fun pedal. The heart of the Beast will remain the Supercollider circuit.

In order to avoid falling behind and creating long wait times the Beast will be made in editions of 5 a month. The first batch will be ready right before Thanksgiving and will be black with white ink. After 5 are sold ordering will be unavailable until those 5 units have shipped.

This method should keep down the build time and help me keep my sanity. The first batch is on sale below:





BEAST color

CENTURION
The Centurion fuzz will continue in full production. Hopefully I'll have some new sound clips soon. For the uninitiated the Centurion is an aggressive silicon fuzz that can be tweaked from huge woolly fuzz sounds all the way to vintage overdrive and all points in between. Yes sir I like it.

Prymaxe vintage currently has a few units in stock. Within the next few weeks I'll have some Centurions ready in black paint with blue ink available direct right here. The enclosures are in the build room and the color combination looks incredible! Pics coming very soon.

A huge thank you to everyone who has expressed support and interest in Earthbound Audio. I was in a very negative frame of mind for a few months and the awesome words of encouragement from many of you have helped me refocus.

Coming up I'll be working on various pedals that have been on the backburner including a longtime favorite lm308-based distortion.
