Circuits To Cure Cancer

[Sibob]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi Guys,[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Just thought I'd take a moment to make you aware of a very cool initiative started by Blake Hickey of Blakemore Effects.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Firstly, please note that I have no official affiliation with either Blake or CTCC other than friendship and thinking it's a great idea.[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]This year marks the second year it has run, with 2013 raising a total of $14,000 (approx. £8,278)[/font][/size]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The list of pedal builders from 2013 can be seen here: [/font][url="http://circuitstocurecancer.com/the-pedals/"]http://circuitstocur...com/the-pedals/[/url]
I bid on a few and won the Mr Black Eterna, which, as some of you are aware, I've been loving ever since.

As you can see, the list for 2014 has grown significantly, with some amazing donations, including Earthquaker Devices entire range and a very special pedal from our own COG Effects: [url="http://circuitstocurecancer.com/the-pedals-2014-list/"]http://circuitstocur...dals-2014-list/[/url]

Little feature, with some Q&A with Blake (the man behind it) - http://sheponbass.co.uk/blog/circuits-to-cure-cancer

[Sibob]

2 days left on the auctions

Si

[Sibob]

1 day left
For UK dudes, the auctions end around 2am Monday morning, check each pedal as they do vary.

Put a bid in and will have to keep my eye on the auctions, maybe fire off a bid before I go to bed and hope for the best. Current bid is on an Earthquaker trem and I've got my eye on a nice looking 8 stage phaser as a backup.

[Sibob]

Nice one Gareth.....not sure what I'm bidding on yet....depends how tired I get haha

Have all the auctions just ended 8~hours early? or is that my browser messing up?

Nope, it had 14 hours left when I posted at 10am and it's now telling me I won. Odd.

[elephantgrey]

I was following a couple of pedals i was going to bid on tonight, and they said they where going to finish at 1-2AM tonight, check the site to see what prices they where at, and they had ended already. Its a shame, the pedals i was interested went pretty cheap too.

[Sibob]

Oh weird.
Checking with Blake now.

Si

[Sibob]

Looks like it is over. I wonder whether Reverb have some glitchy time-zone issues?
Didn't bid on anything as I was waiting until later
Oh well

Si

[GarethFlatlands]

Well I've already paid but I'm happy if it needs to go back up with a refund. It is for charridee.

Edit - Just seen Sibobs post, it sucks that it's ended at the "wrong" time and people waiting missed out. I hope it wasn't anything that you guys had GAS for for a long time.

Thats a shame.
Something to look out for next year i guess.

[Sibob]

I think it's right as nobody seems to think its weird on Talkbass.
Yeah next year

Si

[Sibob]

Confirmed from Blakemore:
There was a fault and all the auctions ended early, what a shame as I imagine a lot of the prices would have gone up near the end.
He's looking into it and waiting for Reverb.com to give an explanation.

Si

[elephantgrey]

A Little off topic, but anyone know where i could get Sir HC's No Squares Allowed pedal? or maybe a clone or something? That thing looks like it would synergise with a bitcrusher and/or synth pedal to do some weird things.

Update posted to CTCC Facebook:


[i]"I finally have an update for everyone. As of this point, roughly $20,000 worth of pedals have been paid for. I'm still waiting on payment for 34 more that are over $6,000. On top of that, Reverb has offered to donate an additional $5,000 to support the cause. This gives us a very rough estimate of ~$31,000 for the year to donate to St. Jude's![/i]
[i]That said, a few people have graciously offered to re-list their pedals later in the week to see if we can raise even more money on those, since the auctions were cut short. I'll keep you updated on that. Again, thank you so much to those who donated, and those who won! Congrats on your new toys, and we want clips when your pedals arrive!"[/i]



So I'll be looking out for the re-auctioned pedals haha

Si

[GarethFlatlands]

I've offered to have my pedal re-listed, it seems unfair the charity and people waiting to bid missed out.

[elephantgrey]

nice! ill be able to maybe bid on a few things after all =]

[GarethFlatlands]

Bidding is up and running again for the re-listed pedals!

[GarethFlatlands]

Congrats Si!

I put my original bid back on the Hummingbird but forgot to keep my eye on it. Oops. I'm probably going to just give a $10 donation, it all helps.
