Edit: This promotion is now closed, THANK YOU all for your support!

We are VERY pleased to announce the release of the Rig-Talk - Plank Cranker boost/OD pedal!

This pedal comes as a collaborative design from Chris Snider, Bob Savage and pedal guru Joel Weaver of Homebrew Electronics. Add to this the graphical expertise of Neil Kennedy and we believe we have a winner!

The primary purpose that brought about this pedal was because Chris and I wanted to come up with a way to obtain sufficient donations to pay for the forums hosting fees, but at the same time leave our members with something that doesn’t make them feel as if they’re just throwing their money into cyberspace. Not only do we believe we have accomplished this goal, we also believe we have provided an item that is unique, aesthetically pleasing and that sounds SUPERB!

Please see the attached Plank Cranker manual for a complete, detailed description of the pedal.

Donation details:

Minimum donation to receive a Plank Cranker: $120 plus shipping. Members can contribute more if they would like, but $120 is the minimum amount required in order to receive a Plank Cranker.

Standard donations: Just because you cannot afford the amount required to buy a pedal, you are not precluded from contributing to the fees required to host these forums.

Shipping costs: $10 domestic and Canada and $20 outside of the U.S.

Orders are now being taken for the Rig-Talk Plank Cranker pedal!

We expect the first shipment of pedals to go out in early March and possibly even by March 1st.

Please send payment using Paypal to @@@@@@@@ ( http://www.paypal.com ), and use “Plank Cranker” as the item description unless making a standard donation only in which case we ask that you use “standard donation” as the item description.

If you do not wish to use Paypal we can accept Checks and Money Orders (must clear before product ships). Please send a PM to SgtThump for details.


EDIT:


Plank Cranker update

Alright peeps, Chris and I have been rolling this around in our heads, discussed it and have made a decision. The Plank Cranker is going to be a limited release pedal. We don't know whether the order will be for 20 pedals or 30 pedals yet because we're going to base it on how many sell. We need to let Joel know how many to produce early this week and as it stands we have only enough orders to do a 20 pedal run if we plan on having the cash available for the hosting fees (which is of course, the whole reason for this). Unless we get a flood of new orders this is going to be a VERY limited release (20 pcs.).

We have NO PLANS to do any additional runs at this time so if you want a Rig-Talk Plank Cranker my suggestion would be to GET ONE NOW!

See, now that's a great idea. The only downside, I don't need another boost. That certainly wouldn't stop me from ordering somethig like....the noob phaser or hack delay...
 
Fucking A...is that a Wankers edition HBE Power Screamer? :rock:
 
I'm in - I'll definitely buy one over the next couple of days. I need another boost like I need a hole in the head, but I cannot resist the opportunity to support the site while owning a cool, one of a kind piece-o-gear!

Nope, it's a new pedal.

By the way guys, feel free to spread the word about the pedal. It *is* to support the forum, however, it's a kick-arse pedal too and anybody that knows of HBE will realize Joel wouldn't let Chris and I guide him into a pedal that sounds like rubbish. In other words, this pedal is the real deal, it's not some toy we're throwing at you guys to get you to help pay for the costs associated with this forum. So, spread the word!

Awesome idea....everyone always needs another boost...I'll be up to 25 years of talent on my pedal board soon :D
 
Great idea!! The logo on the pedal is tight. I don't like how the logo looks on the forum (top left) though.
 
This is Fantastic!!!

That said, I nearly sharted after reading the PDF manual :hys:
 
I need another boost like a hole in the head but I am in and will send out the funds Thursday morning when the direct depo fairy visits my account.

and no you cannot prove that I made out with my mothers vacuum.
 
3 Questions...

1) RT t-shirts?
2) If I order a pedal today will I have a sigx-like wait time? Or just a Cameron-like wait time?
3) Can I get it in pink?
 
Ohh btw,

Is there anyway for us to have our forum name put on the pedals?

Just a thought
