Is it just my imagination or is the Aguilar AGRO discontinued?

I've had one on order now for 7 weeks. Still no show. I'm getting a bit worried about the £250 ($407) that I don't have anymore!

It's not on the Aguilar website any more....well, yes it is but you can't navigate to it on the site, you need to know the URL which is:
http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_preamps_agro.htm

Maybe it's just the Christmas shipping delays but hell, I coulda got one back from the US by darn canoe by now!

Hey,

We did discontinue the Agro in October. I can't say what's up with your store order, but there are none on order with us.

We are going to make a pedal version of the distortion part of the Agro, which we will probably show at NAMM.

Please P.M. me if I can help out in any way. If you are intent on getting one, I may be able to find a European dealer with one for you.

Dave B.

What is the estimated street date for the pedal version of the AGRO distortion? Because that's a fantastic dirt box for bass and I'd likely snap one up in a heartbeat.

And if it's not too nosy, what is the price going to be?

I would guess late March. No price yet; but it should be in the same range as the Octamizer and TLC. Street price in US should be under $200.

Amazing, although this means there's yet ANOTHER aguilar pedal which I'll convince myself to buy...

If it features the full control set of the AGRO, that will be one monster stomp.
