"After a 2 year hiatus, a new standalone BugCrusher design is available - the
MicroCrusher (μCrusher).
This is similar to the previous BugCrusherMicro but with a few updates and a new presentation. Where before there was just a single Rate Reduction dial, there is now a Blend dial as well to increase the flexibility. Building methods mean that I can't now make stompable pedals, but I've included a Footswitch jack socket to allow hands-free use.
An initial batch is now available online and I aim to keep this design in production for the forseeable future - there should be semi-regular batches as I've been doing with the Weevil designs. There will be a further 15 units available within a month and then more around January time - so hopefully this alleviates the need for a mad stampede to the online store!
** ** ** ** **
At this point I've also decided to put the two Weevil designs to sleep - the Board & Postcard Weevils have proved extremely fun and popular but I feel it is time to change things about a bit. The final batches of both designs are now online - once these are gone there will be no more! Over the last 2 years around
350 BoardWeevils have been born.
(I haven't yet got any new designs to fill the Weevil spaces.. Maybe something next year..)

The final batch (for a while at least) of the
WOM Pro kits is online too - great for a Christmas present perhaps?

That wraps things up for now.
Cheers to all,
Tom"
