Hey Guys,

Thanks for the kind words and support.

As Pan shared I've been up to my eyeballs in work which started with recording an artist from the Netherlands onto 3 days at the International Jazz Festival (which was amazing, getting to mic up Jimmy Cobb and Peter Erskine, what a treat) and now straight into a 10 day run with a great up and coming afro pop band.

I'm getting a few minutes to respond to mails and try and catching up with the Slutz.

RE purchasing, it will be done directly from us. We are just waiting for the final metal work but the innards of the first few units are built and tested.

Pan and James have a prototype, electronically nothing will change but it will prob go DS, verdicts still out and we will get the REAL metal work.

Peter quite literally hacked the prototype metal work together and sprayed it by hand and decaled it so we could get them out for review.

I'm looking forward to results and James' shoot out will give you a feel for where we are going with the Mint Julep, gobs of headroom, great transient response and just colourless gain, great for acoustic instruments.

Feel free to ask any questions that may have not been tackled in Pan's review/interview.

Cheers

Matt
