Title: Did Lovetone Go Out of Business?

Lovetone Pedals, are they out of business, or can I still buy their pedals from somewhere?

Anyone know?

As I understand it they scaled down their operation to just two pedals; the Meatball (crazy envelop filter type doowacky) and Cheese Source (overdrive and fuzz box which is an amalgamation of their previous Brown Source and Big Cheese units).

Their older lines can still be bought off ebay occasionally but cost a fair wack. The website www.lovetone.com is still up last time I checked, and includes ordering details for the current products :)

Yeah, I found the website, thats what confused me!

I'm interested in the Ring Stinger, but Dinosaural don't sell them and so I checked eBay and they were all about $800+ dollars....not wanting to spend that much!

It looks, unfortunately, like you're right. :(

Ouch, thats roughly £150 more than they used to retail brand new.

I think the website used to carry a notice clarifying which pedals were still in production, but it's probably buried somewhere. Pity as I always hankered after the trem pedal they did and never got round to buying one :(
