I just don't get why people are acting like it's the end of the world.
Iceland is a FUCKING VOLCANIC ISLAND.
And apparently the last time that volcano erupted in the 1800s people went there to paint it.

a) we've all become paranoid fatalists and we see the end coming at every corner.
b) ppl worry more about money than anything else: if the money stops flowing, ppl think that the world will stop spinning. this event is costing all kinds of industries and private employers all sorts of money, as planes are unable to fly... shipping/receiving, airlines, my friend the teacher who was here on vacation and needs to get back to work, etc.

I like to think of it as Iceland's revenge. They got fucked over by the world market, so the very Earth is extracting justice. i lyke eysland.

ANNOUNCEMENT
You have my sincere apologies for the following information. Delivery of the first batch (at least) of Melxowtone 2's is delayed by approximately a week. The error in question regards a certain part, which has to do with the secret surprise...
Might as well spill the beans on the secret surprise now... instead of candy or junk in the box, I decided to make all the pedals have external volume knobs! Yay.
The bad news is, I ordered knobs from a supplier, that look the same as the current knobs I use, except I just had a what the heck moment now, because when I go to put them on the pedals..... boom, they don't fit! Probably my bad, these pots are made for smaller shafted pots.
So I am kind of teed off right now. Knobs are being returned to supplier, new knobs are already ordered from Pedal Parts Plus, so they will be here ASAP.
I apologize for the stupid delay, but I hope it's ok because everyone is getting external volume knobs!
