The return of Schumann Electronics

[Humandrivein]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 11, 2009

Schumann Electronics Corp. is very pleased to announce the issue of a brand new line of effects pedals. Along with the continued production of improved versions of our classic line of pedals listed on this site, we will be introducing some exciting new unique hand wired products that are guaranteed to blow you away!

Contrary to rumors, John Schumann is alive and well and in the final phase of prototype detailing. He is not now nor was he ever dead, in a state of suspended animation or living as a recluse huddled around his cast iron stove in an 8 x 8 windowless shack in some remote area of the Alaskan tundra. John has taken the past several years investigating the landscape of the vast unexplored regions of the analog electronic universe making many exciting discoveries and innovations along the way. In short, Schumann Electronics has been on an extended hiatus without ever having the intention of closing up shop forever. So for those of you who have been waiting for the opportunity to finally acquire an authentic premium quality, all American, hand wired Schumann Effects Device, the wait is soon coming to an end. Check back frequently for the launch of our brand new Schumann Electronics Internet Storefront. Just keep in mind that since all our products will continue to be 100% hand loaded, wired, soldered, assembled, individually tested and fine-tuned, initial available inventory quantities may run a bit short of the demand. In any event, we are committed to produce the finest quality original design electronic gear that will prove to be completely unrivaled by any cheep counterfeit or cloned copy.

Thanks to all of you musicians and musical equipment aficionado whom have helped to perpetuate the legend around these legendary pedals!

Better be reasonably priced.

The man's a marketing Genius, stop answering any e-mails (from what I hear) dissapear completely even from his local shop and make the business appear long gone... wait for interest to grow and grow and then jump out and rake the cash in, that or fluke... could be that.

And yes.. lets hope in his time away he practiced his wiring, it's a shame because the exterior looks so good.

[Scruffie]

Aha, I haven't heard much on how well they performed but I can see why they might fail and debugging that...

Be interesting to see how big of a come back it will be and if the new models will be what everyone wanted, personally for that kinda crazy stuff i'd go for a 4ms kit.

I could only imagine the headache that could come from the mess that is inside there if something ever went wrong with it. His way of gooping without the mojo

His stuff is so intriguing.
I’ve wanted a Lion or Lion X every since I found out I couldn’t have one.
If that makes any sense.

Only a coward emerges after his pedal goes for over $2k.






















Still really curious.

I might get a Lion or one of the newer offerings if they're reasonably priced.

The bassist of These Are Powers and formerly Liars has the Lion. It never goes off.

If you don't get the reference, too bad. It wasn't a very good one.
