Just wanted to pass this along, the new Foreplay III is out and looks pretty cool. I'm not associated with Foreplay or Bottlehead in any way, although I must admit to being hit in the head with a bottle at a concert one time. Anyway, here is the link:

Looks cooler than the original (which I have built with all the extras...and sold a long time ago). I'm thinking about firing the ol' soldering iron and whipping one together. You can sell it for what you paid so it's free (except your time). It was a bit noisy for my liking but the new one supposedly takes care of that problem. Looks cool and pretty easy to build. Oh, and pretty cheap. The new model has an extra tube, is more user friendly ergonomically and has a bigger and badder transformer.

Yep, I've been checking in the bottlehead forum reading the first thoughts. I will most likely get one. They are sure fun to build. I wonder how hard the new tube is to find.

I would think it's fairly easy and inexpensive to get. Bottlehead gear generally uses easy to find tubes, I hope the III continues the tradition.

We'll see...

Price sure has gone up since the good old days.
