via Tom Bugs of BugBrand"Hiya,
A couple of bits to announce including more-in-the-shop (BugCrushers), a new Crusher-Eye add-on for the BC08 and some chances to build-your-own-noise-machine...
Oh and some shows too!
***
BugCrushers are back in the shop as of now..
There are 5 more of the big BugCrusher08s and a further 12 BugCrusherMicros http://bugbrand.co.uk/pages/shop.htm
(there will be one more follow-up batch before too long too)
Hey, there's also a new CV-modulation add-on -- the Crusher-Eye This is a little light-dependent wand that plugs in to the Foot Control socket and allows you to control the CrushRate or Filter Cutoff by varying the light falling on the Eye.
I'm doing these as an add-on because not everyone will want them (great for desktop noise use, but probably less useful for guitarists) These are £6 on top of the BugCrusher08 purchase I've only got a few of these made up at the moment but should be able to make more later in the week if there is more demand..

Workshop-noisers::
I've just taken delivery of the circuit boards that'll be used for the
forthcoming workshops in Berlin and Lisbon. These are really fun
board-synths - quite like the PostcardWeevil but with much more going
on- 10 dials, 13 contact points, 7 switches and 1/4" jack output or miniamp.
Over the next few days I'll be putting up more details for them
including schematics / informational building document / sound demos.
But there's already an image and blurb on the BugBlog:

If you want to build one yourself then be at one of these places:
Pickled Feet / Berlin / Saturday 24th May -
http://pickledfeet.com/workshops.php
UM Festival / Lisbon / sometime around 20th June - more details coming soon!
Or, if you'd like to organise an event locally then get in contact with
me direct - we can plan for summer and onwards.
