Gearspace.com: Dark Storm review by Matt Pinchin

"For such a simple device, the range of tones available is quite astonishing. Whilst not modelled on any other preamp, there is a certain ‘vintage’ vibe to the tone. This tone is further enhanced with the addition of the “Old” button which can go from subtle to extremely coloured. If you want an uncoloured preamp then this is not the unit for you. If, on the other hand, you want a character preamp, and the usual suspects are just a little too vanilla for you, then the Lighting Boy Dark Storm is sure to satisfy your needs. The build quality and workmanship that has gone in to producing the Dark Storm is evident from the moment you open the box. The whole thing screams quality, and I would not hesitate to add this to my studio."

Finally, I've been able to work out all the issues with equipment failures and supply chains.  We're back on production and working 7-days per week to catch up.   Already, there's a lot of product back in stock.  Simultaneously, I'm working to develop several new products  (slowly working on developing a new compressor, I have an interesting idea for a ribbon mic signal booster, and a couple of nifty transformer designs).  This week, Paul is coming back to work now that things are looking better.  His first job is to edit the 5th and final video in the Big Flippers Youtube series.  The mixing board was sold to Adam Horwitz of New Jersey, so I no longer have it to shoot anymore videos with.  However, I may follow up with some more related videos in the future, but on my AMEK Big 44, which had far more extensive upgrades and mods done to it.  For now, Paul's next mission after Big Flippers is to focus on a Dark Storm ad/video, an Eye of Jupiter demo, and then possibly on a new video series.  His job is now exclusively video production and some minor photography stuff.
