October 18,2022 Hey everyone! Eric here.

Sorry about appearing to have gone "dark" on the 'book. Seems like everything is just taking a ton longer than even I anticipated. People are really starting to call it "Indigo time" (It's not funny anymore Jac...).

Between supply chain issues and the ensuing quality control snags (some with vendors you all love to think are "the best"), a company structure change and a few unrelated issues, I've had to resort to making things that would normally just get ordered (from faceplates to concentric pots), impacting my schedules dramatically.

I'm stacked up with repairs (10 right now), 2 touring rack builds, 2 pedalboard builds, and 9 amp builds (you know who you are) of the "new" model called the CTG, for "Catherine the Great" and a few BlueYou's in a "tweedy" style form factor. Some teaser pics and some video and sound clips will be up here in the next few weeks and I'm pretty stoked about finally being within a stone's throw of getting the CTG out into "the wild".

The CTG's been a long time coming, from the first prototype a few years ago that was stolen in shipment to the UK (thanks Newark Airport and the dirtbags that snagged my baby), to this newer iteration which is pretty darn amazing IMHO.

And will all of that going on, I'm also pretty stoked about a new as yet unnamed fuzz pedal I'm going to be releasing around the end of the year, and...

A new amp model I'm getting to work on which is a real diversion from what I've traditionally been doing here. It may not be a total game changer, but it's going to be pretty close to it. And I don't say that lightly. A bit tight lipped about it because "... sink ships" and that sort of thing.

The product line is also changing a bit as well (getting thinned out a bit). More details to follow.

I'm also starting a new "from the desk of" kind of blog, location to follow.

Some of you might have noticed that when calling here, you get a new phone greeting with menus and such. If you have any issues with it, please do let me know.

Now, as a result of all of that, I'm turning away ALL repairs for the foreseeable future (except the occasional "emergency" and "rush" ones) to focus on all of this. I'm also going to be limiting phone interaction until late next week because, well, if you've ever been on the phone with me... 5 minutes becomes an hour or even 3... Yea. I just don't do "chop chop". You all know, that's not my style. There's a reason it sometimes takes 2-3 days to get me on the phone.

I'm also changing my official delivery times to start at 18 months. I have at least one "pending" here that has stretched out to about 2 years so (you know who you are).

To everyone in the queue (and those just lurking), thanks for your patience and unwavering support. And have languished at having to push my promised delivery dates out to where they are now. Unless they "drop the big one", I'll have my "queue" cleared up in the next 90 days.

I know its a bit commonplace these days to affirm things (hence me hating to do it), but really, I have to say, I've really been "blessed" to have the best customers ever and thank you all for coming along on this ride with me.

I can already tell that 2023 is going to be amazing!



With warm, heartfelt regards,

Eric Z.

April 25, 2016 Indigo Amplification is pleased announce the addition of Steve DiVenuta to its roster of endorsed artists. Steve is a member of Dead On The Tracks, one of the East Coast's Premier Grateful Dead and Dylan tribute bands.

Steve's known in the community as the "godfather", for going through pretty much every kind of amp under the sun, and frequently flipping them. Yet for the past 3 years, he's exclusively been gigging with his Tone-O-Matic 3000. We'd like to think that about says it all.

Welcome to the Family, Steve!
