Is there a wait list:roll?
hey mate - no, I don't do wait lists. These are hand assembled (no mass production here!) and I take my time to get them right - I'll go as fast as I can!
Is there a wait list:roll?
Thank you brother Cy - your board looks ACE!Just got mine today here in the states! I have to say these are the best of the best. Major upgrade from Sukh's previous kicktags. The previous one I had the problem where the labels started to peel. These I can say, won't peel. Very happy customer! Packaging was on point! Hands down the most appealing straight forward design on the market! It just works! Thanks again to the one man operation Sukh for these! Oh!!! Almost forgot the most important thing in the package was a lollipop!! Haha Thanks again! cy

I missed the first go round. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.

How do you like the Tile concept? I swap mine around a lot as my setup changes...
My kicktags just arrived in the US just the other day. I had put off getting a nice set of labels for my MFC because I wasn't sure how stable my choices would be for the various buttons and wanted to keep my options open. Didn't want to feel like I couldn't change things up just because I spent $$$ on some cool set of labels. Since I got the MFC I had just been using marking tape and it's looked pretty lame. Considering how much I spent on an Axe-Fx & MFC, seemed kind of dumb to junk it up with just hand written tape! To the rescue comes Sukh with these AWESOME modular kicktags. The best of both worlds. Great looking labels and dead easy to change things up and customize as you change things up. The glow-in-the-dark is an added bonus, and will work great for low light situations. Gone is the marking tape and on with the kicktags...just an awesome piece of kit! Highly recommend them and well worth the price for the flexibility the provide.
For starters I kept it pretty clean & simple...but think I want to add more dual window surrounds to spice it up a bit.

Just got my Kicktags over the weekend and figured I'd drop a line here. I've always been obsessive about having my board labelled - I had even designed my own labels before the MFC was available, but never ended up using them due to the logistics of making them durable and sticky. I snatched up the first gen Kicktags and loved the way they looked, plus I never had any issues with them sticking. My main problem was the bottom surrounds ended up getting mangled a bit.
I ended up trying to order the Kicktag Pros but the demand was so high I could never get my foot in the door. I missed the clearance sale because I had to make the important decision to go to a King's X concert instead So I was pretty stoked to see these things come to life and I ordered them right away.
So far I'm loving the way they look, everything is clean, easy to customize, and most importantly they're THICK. I don't think I'll end up destroying the bottom row of surrounds this time around, but I ordered a few extras just to be safe.
I can only think of 2 improvements I'd make:
1) It would be cool to have surrounds with the looper functions printed on them, so you could still use the tile window for a graphic or color. I really like to group my delays, modulations, drives, etc. by colors, so my OCD nature is somewhat offended by not being able to color code the chorus or delay labels
2) Some more tile graphics would be cool, I've become quite attached to the Axe Edit graphics.
Here are the before/after pics (this may look like an ad for vacuum cleaners and Mission equipment, but I promise it's about the Kicktags!) Another happy customer here!

3 long ones and 1 short one.....boom! They would stay nice and straight and stick like a mother.I woke up this morning wondering if you could make a solid row of these as one piece with the interchangable little modules and labels. First I thought about one whole sheet but realized the rows stairstep. I think they would work great but the only bad thing I thought was the look of separation so as to be like stomp pedals which I suppose lines could be printed in between each. Just a thought, maybe good and maybe not!

My thought is that a single "surround" per row would work well with the modular system, but the single big win I see is just around the OCD-ness of wanting them all lined up
The new ones stick very well, but the still move around a bit from stepping on the buttons... I would think that far less likely with one big surround and multiple magnets working in conjunction.
But your list of issues also makes sense!
I remember reading your post about that!What my touring artist friends do (those that want the surrounds to absolutely not move a millimetre) is put a little double sided tape on the back of each one, and that prevents any movement whatsoever.
Steve Vai, on the other hand, just goes for it, doesn't use any tape on the back at all, mashes the hell out of his MFC night after night on tour and then just rearranges / realigns his labels before each gig (probably not Steve actually, more likely Thomas!). In fact, before the flexibility of the magnetic labels he has from me now, he used to have his labels STUCK onto his board with some really nasty adhesive. I had a lot of fun scraping the gunk off his MFC right before a show here in London a couple of years back using a blade and lighter fluid. Crazy memories from that night!!!
