How long is the waiting list on the PGC?

Hey everybody,
I've been on the custom sounds and these go to 11 PGC list for quite some time now. Long enough that I ordered again, just in case they forgot me. Has anyone got one of these lately? Bjorn must be extremely busy with all the projects he has going on and I was wondering if he is still making these? Or maybe just at a really slow rate and I need to be more patient?

Your best bet is to send Harri and email and confirm that you are on the PGC list. It would be really hard to get an estimate on how long the wait will be, since pedals are built in batches. You might also want to try looking for one used on craigslist, TGP, ebay etc or post a WTB ad in the emporium. Hope this helps and good luck on your search!

I just got notified that the DRDs are coming in (I've been on the list for about 1 year). I asked Sabastian to put me on the PGC list after I (stupidly
) sold mine... He immediately replied, might be worth shooting him an email.

Cool. Yeah, my name just came up on the DRD list as well. Exciting stuff. I've also been waiting almost a year.

My name came up on the DRD list as well on These Go To 11, only had to wait about 2 1/2 to 3 months

Well, that was good/lucky timing on your part. Like Johnson said, above, they are built in batches and you must have just put your name in shortly before BJ made another batch, whereas thedude didn't and, as a result, had to wait almost a year.
Same thing happens with lots of boutique pedals that are made by hand by one person. I had to wait 14 months for a Pete Cornish order I recently received because last year he was consumed with doing some big custom jobs for some big time rock stars, whereas I know other guys who have just recently ordered the same things and they've been given estimated dates of delivery of April/May since he now is freed up to work on individual pedal orders.
And, hey, it could be worse, you could be waiting on a Toneczar Echoczar/Angelbaby. I know guys that have been on that list since 2007! Yikes!
It was quite lucky, Sebastian fro TGT11 told me wait times could be anywhere from 1-15 months (or possibly longer) and I understand Bjorn builds in batches.
Funny thing is, im on the list for something like 15 other pedals (including the echoczar/angelbaby). I just put the money away somewhere and kinda forget about it till the date comes around,
