I got a Polytope used some time ago. It is by far the best chorus I ever had, regarding the exhaustive beauty of the sound as well as the perfect controls for us bass players.

I replaced my Polytope with the Anadime Bass Chorus for a period of time, I really love the tone of the ABC but what sets the Polytope apart from other chorus effects is the ability to turn the LFO off for beautiful sustained chorus notes which I prefer.

The knob ranges and curves were redesigned to make it a lot less fiddly to dial in sounds. Down envelope mode especially is much easier to use. The input and output buffers were redesigned with high-end opamps for lower noise and higher headroom/less distortion. Electrolytic caps removed from the signal path. Envelope on/off stomp switch. Better build quality in general.

I’ve had all the versions and like the current version best.

That was a website glitch, oof. Sorry folks. Someone cancelled and I guess it automatically re-stocked one pedal. It doesn't look like emails went out to people though, thankfully. I'll honor Mr BK's order though of course.

Oh ... I am sorry. Although I do want one please feel free to cancel my order. Glitches can happen to the best of us and it would not be appropriate for me to profit from this one.

No, that's kind of you but that's not a problem at all. There was a cancellation, so there was a slot available. It's just that I typically don't send any notification for situations like that because it means the entire mailing list gets an alert even though there's only one pedal. People get disappointed and sometimes mad at me for that, so I try to avoid it.

That's also why the pre-order batches have become larger, but less frequent. The window is open longer, even if that also means the wait is longer. And it's why I typically wait a day or two to post anywhere when a pre-order's open, to let the patient people on the mailing list have the best shot. Obviously it gets posted immediately anyway, but I'm trying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
