> 1 - Most current MOTM designs will be converted to SMT. In some cases it
> will be a "straight conversion" (like the '440) so from the front panel,
> you will have no idea it was 'different'. Yes, they will sound the same or
> maybe even ∗∗BETTER∗∗. Some MOTM modules may not ever be converted for 1
> reason or another (the '700 comes to mind). But the original designs are
> now in Scott's hands, not me.

> 2 - In some cases, I will make improvements or add a feature here or
> there.
>
> 3 - These new modules will have a different part number to distinguish
> from the older design. For example, a new EG would be a MOTM-805. In a few
> cases (like the MOTM-190), the function will be a new module entirely.
> This is still in the planning stages. The first set of 'brand new' modules
> will be in the May timeframe.
>
> 4 - All MOTM modules past May 1st will be sold via Bridechamber, not me.
> On May 1st my shopping cart goes away. I am out of the ∗∗SHIPPING∗∗
> business, not the ∗∗DESIGN∗∗ business.

> 5 - The design of the new MOTM modules going forward is 100% SMT, with
> ZERO WIRES. There will be a small ribbon cable in-between the jack
> board(s) and the main board.
