Hi everyone,
As most of us are aware, difficulties surrounding the sourcing of a variety of electronic components is currently threatening the resumption of production of Charlie’s unique and innovative EF86 Pedal and the remarkable Hall & Collins Signature Echo which many of us are very fortunate to own. Consequently, my understanding is that, and for the time being, this has forced the unwelcome withdrawal of the latter from the market while the former has yet to enter the production phase despite design finalisation and successful builds of pre-production units.
However, and not before time, there may be some glimmerings of light appearing on the horizon:

What is certain is that any ongoing pessimism and negativity will serve only to ensure an unwelcome future outcome.
We should try to remain positive and, to that end, do what we can to convince Charlie Hall and his chosen Manufacturer that the demand and enthusiasm for his excellent pedals are still there and, with appropriate publicity, will grow exponentially as soon as production, with or without any design modifications, can be resumed.
Best regards,
Mike
