I still have my old bass whammy as well, I'm hoping this one is half as fun. I'm also hoping I can box my old one back up and save it and use the **** out of the new one. I might have to pick up two after I see how I like it.

Put me on the "coolest" list I guess, I also ordered on 1/23.
Yay! I'm on the list - ordered 1/23
I ordered mine at Sweetwater on 1/23 and was told it would ship 2/04. Today I asked and was told:
"We don't yet have an exact ETA but I would guess early next month. It just depends on how accurate their manufacturing estimates are!"

Well hopefully the digitech rep will chime in here soon. I'm sure their hands are pretty full with a lotta whammy heads demanding their whammys.
I'm in the second batch and my SW rep told me shipping on Mar. 4th. I hope they get this stuff figured out. They knew there was going to be this type of demand, now even SW doesn't know whats goin on?! Geez
I'm being told that the shipment is supposed to hit our distributor in the next couple of days and then all stores should have stock by March 4th (ish) at the latest.
It's not a demand issue, it is just the general squishiness of us now using a distributor. All of our dates have been a little wonky since we switched over. We'll figure it out...

You guys always figure it out. I'm actually ecstatic that these are coming so soon. When I first heard they were at NAMM, I was hoping to get one before may haha I'll wait patiently, it'll be worth it.
Thanks for the info DigiTechRep!
Well, as of NAMM press releases it was supposed to be March anyways. Mid February was a nice unexpected surprise but oh well. Gives me something to look forward to through these cold winter weeks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Stumbled across this thread today and of course I had to order one. 
The Sweetwater rep told me early April so I'm probably pretty far back in line but no worries. I'm glad Digitech finally listened to us!

Seems everybody is getting pretty varied responses. I just ordered one about 2 hours ago and he said the 2nd batch should be out around march 20th. The post above me ordered yesterday and they quoted him april. I'm anxious for SOMEBODY to get theirs so I can hear about it
If anyone in the first batch has to drop their pre-order on SW, let me know so I can get in and get to posting clips for these folks to hear! haha
haha
I just dropped a line to a SW rep. He obviously won't be responding tonight so well see what he has to say tomorrow. I keep hearing different things from all of you on here and since my preorder was over a week and a half ago, things have probably changed and I'd like to see if I can get some answers either along the lines of what y'all are saying or if it will be the original date that was estimated to me before. I'm very anxious as well.
I was just told that the second batch is still shipping out around march 3rd. I then asked if the first batch was shipping yet and he said that they were not. So idk what that means. Hopefully they'll start shipping any day now.
I spoke to a rep recently as well and he told me even though I'm in the "second batch", I might be getting mine with the "first shipment"
. So will they hold off on all pre-orders until Mar. 3? I couldn't get the answer from the rep I spoke with.
They're probably staying safe and saying march 3rd because that's probably a concrete date they get them. They will probably unload the truck, drop the backorders and pick off the pallets on the dock floor. I'd imagine they will probably be out as soon as they hit their warehouse. Who knows though, the only def answer I keep getting is march 3rd. They'll probably ship the first two batches together I'd imagine.
