http://www.lightfootlabs.com Lightfoot Labs Mar. 27th, 2010 - This is my last update that is pushed to RSS. I don't have RSS automated and I don't want to continue the manual text file updates to do it. Instead, I setup a newsletter/mailing-list, which I'll use to send availability announcements. I might also start a twitter or facebook if people want it and it makes sense. To subscribe to the newsletter, send an email to newsletter-subscribe@lightfootlabs.com. There will be an email that follows with a link to click in order to confirm your subscription. GK3 enclosures are in production now. All long lead parts in stock. Test build at my assembler's next week. Big thanks to Kosta for winning the GK2 proto charity auction! http://www.lightfootlabs.com Feb. 26th, 2010 - Lots of progress on the GK3 with the prototype built and many of the parts on order or in stock. Like the GK2, these will be sold first-come, first-served through my dealers. Availability is still a ways off. Planning to offer a small number of GK3s in grey, black, and raw metal enclosures. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jan. 26th, 2010 - Happy New Year and thanks for your support in 2009. I'm once again running Lightfoot Labs fulltime, hopefully permanently this time. New goatkeepers with diecast enclosure and new circuitboards are still a few months off, but I'm trying to get them out as soon as possible. New pedal and two new eurorack synth modules in development, for release later in the year. Also have a prototype GK2 pedal up on ebay here: http://tinyurl.com/yfzyf69. All of the final sale price goes to Partners in Health. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jul. 30th, 2009 - GK2s again sold out very quickly at Analogue Haven and that was the last of the GK2s for my US dealer. If you're in Japan, there is a chance 2ndStaff (http://2ndstaff.com) might have a couple left. I'll be starting another run of Goatkeepers later in the year and hopefully also release a new design or two. The GK3 will be the same as the GK2, except in a slightly larger, but lighter weight diecast enclosure. Thank you for your support. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jun. 19th, 2009 - Crush the Button (http://crushthebutton.be) has received their order of 20 GK2's. I believe most of their stock was preordered, but as of right now they appear to have 4 left in stock. In the next few days I'm going to be shipping an order to 2ndStaff (http://2ndstaff.com) in Japan. After that I'll be getting Analogue Haven's second order ready to ship in around 2-3 weeks. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jun. 1st, 2009 - Yudy Chen has a nice review of the GK2 up with demo videos. He also has the GK audio samples with descriptions in a much easier to read format and a review of the 4ms Atoner. Check it out here: http://glitchathon.blogspot.com http://www.lightfootlabs.com >May 31st, 2009 - Away from production for a little while, but getting back on track now. Should be shipping some GK2's to 2nd Staff and Crush the Button a week from now. Added a dealers page. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Apr. 14th, 2009 - GK2s were delivered yesterday and sold out 2 hours later. I knew they wouldn't be collecting dust on the shelves, but this was very unexpected. Looking at adding a European dealer to receive a portion of the next 50. Thanks to everyone for your support and watch for more details in a couple weeks. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Apr. 11th, 2009 - 50 GK2s are built up, tested and will be delivered to analoguehaven.com in the next few days. Price is $340 US. Download the user's guide at http://lightfootlabs.com http://www.lightfootlabs.com Mar. 28th, 2009 - GK2 is in production now. Boards are finished, pots need soldering, final assembly and testing needs to be done. Availability should be 2 weeks. New pictures at http://lightfootlabs.com http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jan. 28th, 2009 - Unfortunately the GK2 jacks which have been on order since mid September of last year have now again been delayed several more weeks. Several people have asked about a waiting list and I'm sorry, but I just don't have the additional time required to do that sort of thing. However, the website does have an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. Navigate to http://lightfootlabs.com/rss.xml or click the RSS icon in your browser's URL field. The GK2 run is quite large (150 pieces) so I believe everyone that's been waiting will be able to get one. I've decided to make this the only production run of the the "small box" goatkeeper. The next one will return to the larger Hammond DD box, as the custom box was far more trouble than I care to deal with again. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Jan. 19th, 2009 - Circuit boards are in. A couple components still need to be tweaked before it's finalized. Building likely to start in a couple weeks. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Nov. 20, 2008 - Finishing up testing of GK2. This is the LFO output into an oscilloscope to check the waveshape recorder... http://www.lightfootlabs.com Nov. 1st, 2008 - Some additional information on GK2... Due to complexity and budgeting issues there will only be one GK2 model. This model will have all the "expanded" features and will be priced a little higher than the previous basic model. The enclosure is 16 gauge steel with polished/welded seams, white powdercoat, baked on screenprint and laser-cut lexan rear panel. There are still a few things that need to be corrected before the remainder of the parts are ordered and the boards are assembled. Availability is unknown... hopefully soon, but please don't count on it being before the end of the year. http://www.lightfootlabs.com Now have an RSS feed running.
