Well, I haven't formally preordered any, but will be running mine with speakers from a small butique brand in Sweden. A pair of TKS 2126 (2x12 and a 6 in each).

Only a couple of months left now.

I cant wait till I get this, I sold off both my GK's and my old 76' Fender PS300, so I'm literally "Sans-amp" at the moment(my main gig has amps for me to play through), so at the moment just have my cab, basses and pedals!! The Microtubes 700 will be my one and only workhorse for side gigs!!

Same here. I sold my GK and found a broken Ampeg SVT-400T that I fixed for $80 that I am using as my rig until the darkglass gets here.

UPDATE:


Just saw on Doug's instagram that is looking like August/September now before the amps start shipping.

Thought so. I said "August" but wouldn't doubt September or October - these things take time. Knowing that, I wish they had never said "June" as it just was not practical.

Yeah I guess I err on the side of optimism when it comes to these things, sorry about that... and you're right, these things take time!

Truth is that a lot of the new features we wanted to implement after we got some feedback from the NAMM tests took a lot more effort, prototyping and of course time than we expected!

We're beyond happy with the results, so the extra wait (and weekends spent at the factory) should translate into a much better version of what you guys expect.

We are sending this bad boy for production this week... we're on release mode with a new pedal this week (Vintage Ultra).
I'll post an update in the upcoming weeks with more detailed release times and update features and pictures.

Thanks again for the interest and support!
If anyone has any questions I'm more than happy to answer them to the extent that I can, either here or via email (my address is on my sig).

Regards,
D.

Thanks for the info! Production this week; looks like my original August prediction may be correct for us receiving them in USA. Or sooner. That is really fast considering you had no case size yet a little over a month ago, and design changes were still underway.

Thanks! Yeah we have made a lot of progress in a few weeks.

Production is usually 6-8 weeks so mid August is still doable in theory. September gives us a little wiggle room because unexpected delays are the norm when you run a factory (specially when making a new machine).
