Done with the small stuff…

Time to start sweating the big stuff. :P

The last of the Choices and Plague Bearer items were finished yesterday and will ship today. They took longer than planned due to the PB output revision.
Replacement Plague Bearer PCBs are being express shipped to distributors, so units from their stock will only take a couple days longer and will be good to go.

For those that have not yet contacted me about this issue: it is a very simple fix, so if you are comfortable with removing one or two SMT components, the basic fix is in your PB manual (the gain mod). Remove R6 and replace it with a 10k 1/8W or 1/4W resistor placed in CN2 (the top two holes are connected, so use the bottom hole and one of the other two). If your PB is *really* quiet, you can use a 15k, or even up to a 50k, which will give a gain of 5. For even more fun, just go ahead and put up to a 100k trim pot in CN2 and adjust it to please.

There are a couple other mods which affect the tone of the unit that are SMT-comfortable only, contact me if interested.
