Are there any clear dates now that they have at least shipped from the manufacturer?
I got the response today saying "We are possibly getting those today. I will let you know if that changes." Fingers crossed.
I haven't anticipated a pedal in this way ever. Ever. I've been excited about a pedal that was on it's way, but not a pedal that I was awaiting a release/shipping date on and then it not having a def answer as to rather or not it actually was or is shipping. Eeesh
I just received a call from Sweetwater. They said that the new expected arrival is 4/2. I placed my order on 1/31. I think I'm pretty sure I'm in the first batch. Hopefully they are giving themselves wiggle room by saying 4 weeks out. Man, I want to get my hands on this thing soon. Killing me here.
I just did the scream from Tool's The Grudge when I read this.
Edit: I was just informed as well that the ETA for Sweetwater was pushed to April 2nd by the manufacturer. So first batch/ second batch doesn't make a difference at this point. I'm so happy I get to keep money lying around for another month!
As far as I'm aware once they're on the boat there is really no way to accurately predict an arrival date. So many things can happen... international shipping delays, customs holdups, domestic shipping delays, etc. Until they clear customs all you guys will get is a guesstimate from Sweetwater. Too many variables for them to give you a clear answer right now.
I work with overseas containers quite a bit. There are definately thing that hold them up. It's a big ocean and customs for sure.
But what does this pedal do? I've never even heard one or seen one in stores but people rave about them. Perhaps I'll have to try one out soon...
It's a massive pitch shifting machine! Ever listen to tool or rage against the machine?? Yeaaaaaa
Considering that those are two of my top 10 bands, I feel like I really should know. So I looked it up on youtube and I have heard this before, especially used by RATM!
Well, since this thread only seems to exacerbate my impatience...I'll see you all in a month! Or 2...

Spoke to my Sweetwater Rep today... They are not committing to even an approximate date. Step away from the ledge.
