    Thanks! Yes, it's a really nice review. I think Fletcher got that it's in weird fuzz territory! Shame they used a pic of the MkI, but I'm not that bothered:

    There's a new demo of this pedal, and I've added it to the site now.

    Here's another review from Tone Report. This time it's the Utility Perkolator, our improved Harmonic Percolator pedal:

    Big restock for Vintage Guitar Boutique in Shoreditch. Always nice to have the opportunity to take a group shot of everything we build.

    These are the pedals from the Darkness pledge commission from a couple of months back. I think they've all reached their recipients now, so no harm sharing.

    All lined-up:

    Testing! We ran through the lot twice, so this took a little while :-)

    Thanks Thorpy!

    Cheers, that means a lot. It's been a bit of a journey since this thread started - moving from a corner of my living room into an office, getting better known and stocked in more shops.

    New stockist!
    Pleased to announce that Nottingham City Guitars are now stocking Fredric Effects pedals. They've also got a rather cool selection of vintage gear and do repairs and setups.

    Testing the prototype Deeply Unpleasant Companion with a baritone. Starting to sound good!

    Hi Tim,

    What's the Baritone?

    It's a Squier VM Baritone Jazzmaster. I got it in a trade and have been very pleasantly surprised by it. Although I tend to play it like a bass and avoid the two unwound strings!

    Looks decent, they standard JM pups? New Sailplanes in the pipeline?

    Ha just worked out who this is - hi Johno! 

    No, we've talked about doing more Sailplanes soon, but Jola is busy with Adam Ant and we're busy with two small children so rehearsing is a but tricky. Are Lark still gigging or have you moved onto new projects?

    At a guess, these are the same Duncan Designed pups in the normal Squier Jazzmaster. I don't think they'd go to the effort of inventing anything new for this.

    Ha hi mate

    I'm not in the band anymore so looking and doing other projects, just did one for big dada records and now looking for another project/band.
    So Astrid has a brother/sister now?

    Daisy started school last week, time fly's.must be double difficult for you guys trying to make music with you both being in the band. Would be good to hear some more music from you guys.

    I should drop in the Fredric hq and show off my 64 Jag which I picked up recently!

    Yep these things passed me by until I was offered this one, but I do love the antigua finish (which can divide opinion!) With a little fuzz it has a lovely doomy growl.

    Yep, Astrid is 3 (just started nursery, so potentially more time to work during the day) and Josefin (Josie) is 7 months. We're only just getting some time back to play music, so hopefully that'll happen eventually. But obviously you know what that's like.

    We're in High Barnet now. Feel free to drop in deffo. Lots of guitars to fiddle with here too, although I had to sell my '69 Jag when we were saving for this place :-( How did you get hold of your Jaguar? They're getting somewhat pricey, aren't they?
