Hey there!
I've emailed 4ms via the site a couple times over the past few weeks, but haven't been able to get a response. Any ideas on a better way to contact them? I'd like to buy two Stereo Trem Pan kits with the following mods: gain control, rate doubler, ramp up, expression jack.

sorry sorry sorry
we've been getting a new space in order, in and out of city hall, and spending whole days waiting for various city inspectors to show up (or not show up), and doing mindless paperwork and dances to appease the powers that we have to. stlouis is one of the most beaurocratically infested city governments, since the economy took a dive in the post-industrial age, city hall had to create new jobs by swelling up with redundant unnecessary departments. ugh.
but the good news is that we're close to actually being able to officially operate out of our new space, which is twice the size of the old one, and in a cool old industrial complex, one of the former large pre-prohibition breweries (100ft brick silos, mazes of sub-basement catecombs, a perfect mad scientists lab )
anyways the point is that
*PLEASE re-send your email if you're on this forum** and I'll get to those priority.

In general, if I see multiple emails from the same person I'm likely to respond quicker. It's not annoying as long as the email isn't annoying (don't ask for obvious information you can find on the forum/wiki/website! duh!) or the question isn't terribly complex (e.g. "how much would a wobulator fx5.4 PCMCIA card that I'm not sure if it works and a handful of broken mahagony drum sticks be worth in trade for a totally custom pedal which I havent figured out really what I want it to do yet...?" or the best one is "Can you tell me the prices and a detailed description for every mod for every pedal youve ever made?" )...sorry, that's enough ranting for now:
As a business we operate in that nether-world between not having enough email volume to justify hiring and training an "administrative assistant", and having too much to handle on our own. So when things get busy in the shop, I figure we can't take on much new work, so I only reply to emails that are for orders in progress, or that seem like simple straightforward answers. Barter offers and custom price quotes don't get priority. New stuff has to wait till we have time for it. But if I see that someone is serious about something to try communicating more than once, I'm more likely to take them up on it. So if you read this forum, then now you know: re-send your email, simplify your question, or just wait till we're not so busy.
