Where'd you find it and how much was it Andy, if that's not too personal a question!?

 

My Thomann order status still says 3-4 weeks (I paid for mine on 12th October) as it has been for over a month and when I chatted with them today they now pushed out the "we get stock" to 9th of Jan.  Well it was Nov, then early Dec, then late Dec.  How long is a piece of string with these guys.  So I googled the pedal out of desperation and it said the usual, that these pedals were available from multiple UK vendors, so I clicked on a few (to find out they haven't got any), then tried one more for luck and Bingo!  The magic words "In stock" appeared (it feels odd to be excited by those two words, but it's been a long wait and rigmarole).  A quick phone call to them confirmed the good news and they had my order in a few mins.  What surprised me is that Thomann with all their pull couldn't get any or enough (they assured me, that only those presold to customers before me had gone out in the past two months, so at least their queing system is working, just maybe too many people bought in hope there) whereas Bass Direct said they got 30 of them recently. It's a lot of money for a single pedal though and new territory for me (as I've gone only for inexpensive multipedals before, Zoom B3 and Valeton GP-5).

 

 

 

I put a wanted ad on here and got it for £255 posted which seems fair

Good idea and it works! I did the same for a Zoom B3 a while back. As for the price it seems fair as it's recent enough from launch so likely as new.

Standard practice, every time I have pre-ordered something it seems they become available on general sale elsewhere before I get mine, complete waste of time.

 

Bass Direct and the Gallery both had free stock available last week, not sure if any are left now.

Incredibly, yesterday I called up Bass Direct and they assured me they had some in stock, I ordered one and it just arrived today as promised.  Colour me impressed!  Thomann still can't guarantee a delivery date after having been paid for the pedal two months ago - they just agreed to process the refund. Now to get to grips with the pedal!
