I saw this thread Tuesday night. Mine arrived today. New in box from a dealer in NJ. Paid list price with free shipping.
Now that I've made an instruction sheet in a size that I can read, I'm going to go try it out. I hope it sounds as good as the four hours of research I put into it. I've been on the hunt for a good delay/echo for a while, and was almost going to pull the trigger on an El Capistan. I think this is what I'm looking for.
