Hey Matt
Please take no offence. I am really open to the idea your pedal deserves its price.
I am just still waiting for a good reason to let me think I better have to buy it otherwise than any other, considering even (IE) high-end Keeley looper and relay-switched Wobo looper are less expensive.
So please, don't give me simple "better" or "custom" which are not good arguments. Just explain what in your custom sockets is better than best quality stock neutriks/switchcraft/amphenols that are industry standard even on best audio gear, and explain what are the functions your looper got the other have NOT.
Considering my background, I studied and worked into electronics and physical measure so I am not sorta rookie considering these things. I also used my abilities to repair and mod my guitar gear sometimes.
You say you're good at business relations, then you might know that sometimes transparency is the rule, and when you are an new brand into a business, you have to convince your customers instead of giving em humility lessons...
Rock on
