Gone Fission and Hyphen Nation mentioned PE as well.
He's something you didn't know. I was in the works of buying PE and homie just up and decided to stop responding to me. We had emails going back and forth and then, bam, no replies. I was very close to buying the rights to everything. Oh well.
I would have had to hire people to do things, and I am glad I didn't. haha.

Mellowtone.
Sercet Seasons.
At least my eye didn't catch either old ILF brands with brief browsing here. Though I wouldn't say they failed - they made some really cool stuff, guys just decided to call it quits. Secret Seasons Snowdrift fuzz was on everybody's lips back then. And the Mellowtone Wolf Computer was (still is!) a phenomenal gnar-gnar-motorboating-Fuzzfactory-killer-fuzz that everybody seemed to love. Except for Zach Vex

Wolf CPU is fantastic. One of the best. Got the impression last year that he was building again, just in a small capacity/for fun?
What about Take Flight Pedals? The Goose seems cool, and apparently got some attention, but there's little to no info out there.

I've got a Goose &
it.
Yeah, David just dropped off. I think he lost interest/had more important things to do. I know he was a student when he was building.

That's apparently the "Chief Goose" which had added controls. Still, I don't think David was charging that much.
The regular Goose was around $150 - $200.

Thanks for the info. I saw one for sale on reverb last year for $120 (think you posted it in the eBay thread?), still regretting not getting on that shit. Because it's an oscillating fuzz. And I like those. A lot.

in the context of what that is I don't know if 500 is that bad.
are we talking about companies that got sucked into larger companies at all or just the ones that died?

I just tried to order one out of curiosity. They're out of stock.
