Finally!
 
Quick update on thread: Removed poll

 

[zenpunk]

Apology. My bad.
Fantastic news.

I'm expecting under, I think I'll be getting mine in August and it was projected for June.

 
I don't post here often, but have been following with great interest here and over at the LHlabs forum given that I'm in for a Geek Pulse X. Just noticed on the "Geek Stop" page, where you can pre-order the Pulse if you did not take part in the campaign, that it currently says "Geek Pulse will begin shipping in May 2014." Perhaps that is being a bit too optimistic?

Probably.  Or that is the base model that doesn't have all the tweaks.  I know that the Femto clocks are supposed to delay the models with them due to the manufacturer's ability to make and deliver them.  I'm actually thinking about buying a second one that is the base balanced model to both get it quicker and to see if all the tweaks actually make a noticeable difference.
 
Nevermind, they are $700.  Lol.  Should have gotten a second at the $350 point during the campaign.

They added the Pulse to the Geek Stop early on in the first campaign and I don't think timelines have been updated since.. Unfortunately, I think it may be on the optimistic side. A take-away from the GeekOut may be that manufacturing and production vs. quality control will take longer than they had originally estimated. 
 
By the time they finish runs of standard Pulse, Pulse X & S, Femtos, IC upgrades, and LPS efficiency will be up and they will be old hands at this. It may be a little later in the year than anyone expected though.

 

[hydesg]

anyone received any emails that asks you what exactly you have funded in the campaign?

 

[walfredo]

@hydesg:  I have not received anything like this.  I assume you have?
 
@all:  I ordered the combo pulse + geek out in the pulse campaign.  Do you know if I am going to receive the geek out first and the pulse later?  Or if they are going to delay the shipment until they have both?

It's been assumed that the GEEK Outs ordered from the Kickstarter campaign will be fulfilled first, then the ones from combos and pre-orders.  Not sure how the timeline will line up with the Pulses.

I've received zero communication since the campaign ended. I thought there was going to be confirmation of what you have ordered, but I have seen nothing like that as of yet. A little disconcerting, but then I am sure they are very very busy.

 

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

They waited for the second campaign to end (Feb 2) before consolidating the data.
 
Right now they are finishing on a survey system that will accommodate our tons of options.
And giving finishing touches on a site/forum where we they (LH Labs) can interact further with us consumers (current forum is beta).
 
If you go to the GF forum. Larry, Gavin and Kim are there always to help, interact, and, give updates.

This. Larry confirmed on the LH forums that they will be shipping to Kickstarter backers, then Indiegogo backers, and lastly the pre-ordered units. Looking at the number breakdown, the first two shipments, 100 and 200 respectively, line up perfectly with the super early adopters (100) and the early adopters (200). Going off the assumption that they'll be following that pattern then we can expect many Kickstarter backers, Indiegogo backers and those pre-ordered to be arriving around the same time end of March into April. And for those who backed the combo on Indiegogo will receive their GOs before the Pulse.
 
I really hope I'll have mine in hand by the start of April since I'll be traveling for 20 days that month between my anniversary and working at PAX East. Having the GO will make the traveling much nicer.

Thanks, AxelCloris and FraGGleR

rough count puts the number of units of the geek out from the kickstarter campaign to be over 1800, not including the first 100 and 200 in the early adopter set. that means some from the kickstarter campaign, as well as the few from the indiegogo and the preorders have no set date as to when their units will ship. i wonder if the 1700 group also includes those who ordered a super and super-duper geek...or if they're just the standard geeks.

 

[Larry Ho]

The shipping order is exactly like what you guys wrote here... thanks a lot for helping clarification.
 
Also, Super-Duper Geek, which we make the formal name as: Geek Out 1000, will be shipped out with other two models. Geek Out 450, and Geek Out 720. 
 
And we just test the final golden samples in UK and got some very nice feedbacks. I believe you will love this super powerful little geek.
 
Enjoy!
 
Geek Pulse?  We are in the middle of it, analog stage test, EP2, Front panel prototyping and some key component testings... all go on parallel. 
 
And when some 'stuff' are ready, maybe I could give you some more good surprises...

Looking forward to the Pulse, tho like many here already said, do agree that the previous front panels looks way better. Looks like I will be getting my Geek Out sometime around March, and with all the good stuff written about it, I can't wait to get my hands on it
