Ashdown Bass Drive Plus??

Anyone know the status of this pedal (or any Ashdown effects)? Mine is busted, and I was gonna just get a new one (as the sound is pretty unique and really cuts through) but everyone in the US seems to be out of them, and in fact many dealers say they are discontinued - any update appreciated.

Yep, it's discontinued.

have you tried contacting ashdown direct?
you will most probably get a definitive answer that way!

edit: and yes the hyperdrive is excellent too!

They did discontinue their pedal line though they sell have them on their website. MF was selling off their remaining inventory about 6 to 9 months back for like $49 each and I picked up an envelope filter and compressor at that price.
