"Hiya, Here's an announcement for new batches and new devices:
- batch of Weevil08s and BugCrusherMicros
- announcement of the new AudioWeevil08 design
- news on the Workshop Osc Machine kits
- and some other bits'n'pieces

Just gone in the shop::::::
- http://www.bugbrand.co.uk/pages/shop.htm
- a batch of 20 Weevil08s, this time in Yellow (with blue dials / lights) and Blue (with yellow dials lights)
I'm undecided as yet whether this may be the final run of the W08 - I'd like to update the design before too long and am out of PCBs for now..

- a mini-batch of 6 BugCrusherMicros

So, it has been a long time in development....
...but I can finally reveal a new AudioWeevil design!
- http://www.bugbrand.co.uk/pages/sounddevices.htm#audioweevil08
So much has changed in my production methods over the last year and things reach a new peak with the AudioWeevil08, both in terms of features and presentation.
While the features are quite similar to the previous AWeevil07, everything is greatly refined and some new parts are added in.
- we've got a powerful driven input for clean/distorted/modulated signals feeding into a fine filter based on the old Wasp synth offering Lo/Band/Hi-pass response and great resonance.
- there's lots of Weevil functionality including twin oscs, starvation, ringmod-feedback and external processing
- modulation for the filter and one osc comes from a variable saw/tri/ramp LFO with ranges from superslow to audiorate modulations
- new build techniques have produced a combined frontpanel and touchplate (with 16 body contact points), all decorated with yellow silk-screen legend on red pcb-material
- slope front enclosure and powered by 6xAA batteries in an underside compartment.
- 13 dials, 10 switches, 16 body contacts!
Check the above link for more details, pictures and sound examples.
I will be completing an initial batch of 10 over the next few weeks and will be repeating batches (semi-)regularly from then on.
Sorry, but no pre-orders! There'll be the usual BugMailOut when devices are ready and the final price is fixed.

Also quite long in coming are the kits for the Workshop Oscillator Machine.
I've actually got about 20 kits complete already (silk-screened PCB with all required components) but I'm still re-writing all the documentation so that everything is covered in detail - including an overview of the relevant electronics (schematic symbols, components, circuitry techniques), detailed building guide and an introduction to soldering.
I hope to have these in the shop next week, so please check back.
- sorry its been taking a while!

Some little bits:
- I've decided to stop making Contact Mics regularly so as I can focus more on other areas, but I'll try to get batches out from time to time.
- there are some more Tshirt colours available now.

That's all for now.
Best wishes,
Tom"
