This may be unpopular, but what you could do, is partner with a pedal/amp manufacturing company in china or somewhere similar to build lower quality pedals and low wattage amps, that although will have lower build quality and components, can still have the spirit of the Dunwich sound. Not only can you sell it under the Dunwich label, but you could also white label it which is a big money spinner. This allows you to run a business with very little overhead and no real fixed costs. Then you could do the custom high quality type work you are doing now and that would be cream on top as far as revenue goes.
that makes sense from a business perspective if i cared about money but i could not in my own conscience let dunwich go into half-assed poorly made junk. Its sort of my baby so I could not relinquish that kind of control to people who have no clue about it. (dont take this harshly, i am not offended by your very logical suggestion)
completely understand
...although it makes business sense it lacks soul.
