Please keep me in mind if you want to sell off the "loser"
Did anyone buy a Micro-Tron III today when the "official release" started? The page now says "(Please allow 2 weeks for shipping)". I didn't notice that on the page during the July 25 exclusive buy date.
A question for those of you who've bought from Mu-FX before: Did you get a shipping notice with a tracking number, or did the pedal just show up one day? I want to know if I need to be keeping an eye out for it.

No shipping notices (I did the preorder on the 25th). My guess is that we are still a couple of weeks away from them shipping.Anybody?
Thanks, but I'm asking those who've ordered and received items from Mu-FX in the past if they received shipping notices and tracking numbers when the items shipped.
Pretty sure we received FedEx tracking numbers with the Phasor 2x. It was a long wait but so worth it.
I did yes, but then it's likely different for International shipping. I'd hang on in there, I'm sure you'll receive the Micro Tron and it'll be great. I know they are a small company but Mu-Fx could seriously do with a good marketing and communications manager though.
I almost bought one today on a whim but closed the page when I saw the shipping price. Most US stores ship pedals over here for around $20. I guess it's because they are using FedEx, the downside of that also being that import fees are pretty much guaranteed, whereas with the postal service it's like a 50% chance!
Almost pulled the trigger today myself but i think the main reason i didnt is because of the lack of videos out the if any using bass and none comparing to the original. I also didnt see a seperate expression jack that i thought was going to happen as well. So many questions and no special pre order price does not help so thats why ill wait. Should have atleast done free shipping
Not sure why Mike owes you anything for ordering a week early. I've been waiting long enough for this that i was just happy that it was released.
There aren't a lot of builders that get my automatic benefit of the doubt. Mike is one of them - 40+ years of experience and never made a melon. Why would this be the first?
The Tru-tron will always be a superior filter to anything Mike has done or will likely do. It represented Mike revisiting the Mutron III and making his ultimate edition.
The Micro-Tron will likely have to make some sacrifices for the form factor and convenience. It feels to me like Mike's response to what people have been asking him to make for the last 15 years.
I'm still kicking myself for not getting in on the ground floor. According to everything I've heard about the Tru-Tron, the pre-order price was a steal!
The Tru-Tron is fantastic and Mike is a genius. I have all the Mu-FX pedals other than the Octave Divider which I sadly sold a while back. I have the original and will get another new version again soon hopefully.
Another big Mu-fx fan here. I have and love the Boostron, Octave Divider and Mu Tron 3x. What's your thoughts on the Phasor 2x? Did you get the expression pedal with it too?
The Boostron intrigues me, especially since it's on sale, but I don't want to get hit with the tax and shipping charges again. Not saying that they're excessive, but they do add quite a bit to the total here in California.
With the Boostron it's such a powerhouse of a pedal I find a little goes a long way, especially with the controls of the Slacker (now my go to distortion), the amount of boost available from that level control is insane, especially so if you also have on the Blaster or ramp up the output on the Squeezer. The Squeezer isn't particularly transparent but you get a lovely thump particularly on a passive bass. I also love the being able to put the Octave Divider and Mu Tron 3x into the effects loop of the Boostron for some analogue synthy goodness
