> 1 - Most current MOTM designs will be converted to SMT. In some cases it > will be a "straight conversion" (like the '440) so from the front panel, > you will have no idea it was 'different'. Yes, they will sound the same or > maybe even **BETTER**. Some MOTM modules may not ever be converted for 1 > reason or another (the '700 comes to mind). But the original designs are > now in Scott's hands, not me. > > 2 - In some cases, I will make improvements or add a feature here or > there. > > 3 - These new modules will have a different part number to distinguish > from the older design. For example, a new EG would be a MOTM-805. In a few > cases (like the MOTM-190), the function will be a new module entirely. > This is still in the planning stages. The first set of 'brand new' modules > will be in the May timeframe. > > 4 - All MOTM modules past May 1st will be sold via Bridechamber, not me. > On May 1st my shopping cart goes away. I am out of the **SHIPPING** > business, not the **DESIGN** business. > > 5 - The design of the new MOTM modules going forward is 100% SMT, with > ZERO WIRES. There will be a small ribbon cable in-between the jack > board(s) and the main board.
