Thank you for the thorough response. There are some good take aways here. I’ve always thought the look-alike branding nods to classic products would be more of a turn off than a selling point. I personally gravitate toward more original artwork. But, maybe that differs from the norm. Maybe I...

Reminds me of the story of Wampler tossing that pedal onto Brad Paisley’s stage.

The one I mentioned that would be more complex, possibly have an FV-1 chip in it, and aiming for $129, is not invented yet. I have the outside design started but subject to change. I’m thinking of calling it Zephryne … it would be a thicker drive (if possible, analog, maybe Rat-like) summed with...

Yes, it is a simple circuit. Electra topology with a few modifications. (Gotta start somewhere. It sounds great! A light single transistor overdrive until it hits the diodes at higher drive settings, which adds in a little asymmetrical fuzz-like drive.) Short demo:

Yes, I must find my flair! Working on that too. 🤣

At $89 it sat there a week without any interest. The circuit I’m starting with is overly simple, which might have something to do with it. But also, being new, I may just need time to build that reputation and trust with the customer. I’ll take your advice. My next circuit design will be more...

That okay. I love it! It is all related. And yes, this is great advice and food for thought.

I’ll be thinking of ways to keep cost reasonable. I enjoy the process of working with through hole soldering, so if I were to ever go full SMD, I’d probably still want to do a few the other way here and there just because I enjoy it so much. I was playing with “price” on Reverb, thinking $89...

I’m noticing that.

I probably shouldn’t have said this was a question for “those of you who sell”. That probably sounded rude of me. My intent was not to exclude, but to get an answer from experience vs hypothetical. I’d love to hear your thoughts. As far as selling… I figured I’d try selling and worst case...

Well, good news is we save a little money not buying the 512. 🤣

I agree 100%. I also have good reason to believe I should give it a try. I think what I’ll do is continue working overdrive circuits while beginning to tinker with the FV-1. Then, later this year, I’ll sell a small batch of pedals that have a custom program on it and see how it goes. Then, take...

I have some more questions about the FV-1. Does it require the EEPROM in every instance, even if there is only one patch? Also, does one patch let you use the full memory or is it partitioned to a specific max for each patch? Also, the 32 seems to be the goto. I see a 512 out there (on Tayda)...

I’m definitely working on that. About one-third of my buyers so far have returned to buy a second product. Quick shipping and correspondence helps, high ratings, quality product, great bargain, nice demos, etc. I’m working on a website. Anyway, I agree and see this as the most difficult part...

I noticed the market situation too and wondered if the sales just come in waves. This is my first few months selling, and during the week it is not great. Weekends are better. It will be interesting to see if things get better in the holiday season. I’m not considering the current state of the...

I’ve never heard of Daisyseed. Looking into it now.

That is kind of what I thought. It is also what I notice when I go to buy pedals for myself. I’m not wanting to go down the FV-1 rabbit hole strictly for “the money”. The way my mind works, I think I’ll enjoy it. I’m into computer science and my day job is in web. I also produce music for fun...

This is a question for those of you who sell pedals. I’m wondering if people are typically willing to pay more for pedals that have effects created by the FV-1 chip. Those chips are pricey, and I’m wondering if there is a good chance of recouping the extra cost or if people just expect them to...

Are these the same. The price is different but they look the same. I don’t mind the extra cost if it is a higher quality switch. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/3pdt-stomp-foot-pedal-switch.html vs...

Do you know if other pedals do that? I guess I’m asking if that’s normal. I know switching between transistors is pretty normal, just can’t remember if a pop noise is normal or not.
