No like?

I like it. You have a great site too. Now the important stuff......How much is it gonna cost? I want one.

Hahah, thanks Bat
Here's roughly how things will be:

Two versions out. One "true" looking (and fully analog, identical to the original) version (NON wireless), same black box as the original EX63 receiver (X10 Transmitter audio circuits integrated inside), metal case, knobs and VU meter (lights up, etc.).
This one will cost in the "hundreds" of USD. It will be "signed" by the original inventor (Mr. Ken Schaffer) and myself ( ).

The other version will be a stomp box, as simple as possible, cost lot less but it will be SMD circuit wise. SAME sound.

All for now

PS We do have working prototypes already, this thing is not a dream or a wish anymore. Will go into production in a couple of months.

Put my name on the list for one of the stomp boxes. I'll buy one.

Thanks Bro

A pre-order list will be made available at the right time, and you'll be in there. Will contact you at proper time (in advance) with everything down black on white.

I'm really interested in one. I'd like it if you put me on your list for the stomp box as well

Can you briefly explain what the svd does?

p.s. love all of the vids. keep em coming!

Will be announcing it shortly, and then put everyone interested in a list.
SVDS and what it does, in super simple terms: it was invented to be a wireless transmitter and receiver for guitar and microphone. It was the real "first" professionally working one, and it stayed as such for several years after its inception, in 1977.

Consists of a transmitter and receiver. On the transmitter, you have some audio processing, a compressor and the transmitter itself.
On the receiver, you have the receiving technology, and some further audio circuitry, including sound amplification for example.

ALL of the audio circuitry of BOTH units has been "painstakingly" integrated, maintaining EXACTLY the same paths, same EVERYTHING as on the original unit(s) (we have a total of 4 working units plus pieces).

Even more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaffer-V ... ity_System" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Audio wise, it really made a difference, although this wasn't at all meant to be its purpose. Its purpose was really to wirelessly transmit audio signals. Our units, even 30 years later, still work perfectly. Pretty freaking amazing.

PS updates on the replica production will be (and are being) posted here:
