Mike emailed me this week that theres a few of these set to ship on Tue or Wed, then some more which are spoken for should be ready in roughly 90 days, then its gonna be at least 8 months before others get the opportunity to own one. So based on the emails it appears as though all hope is not lost entirely

I knew that would be asked. First of all, I dont want to be in the middle of this and have no clue whats even going on. My contact with him is limited to the following. I first contacted him in March of '12 cause I live nearby but never managed to make it out to test one out. But he did put my name down on the list with no guarantee. I have not paid a deposit. I have patiently emailed him a few times here and there asking what the scoop is and asking how its going and if there will ever be a chance of me getting one. He replied to me last week basically asking if I still wanted to drop by for play test, I asked when i can get one and he basically said once he finally has satisfied everyone in front of me in line and who have paid deposits then maybe I will have a shot but theres no time guarantee as of right now. Then he told me theres like 3 or so going out this week and then another small batch in roughly 90 days.

Ah I see. Well I would definitely recommend checking one out if you get the chance. One of the more unique amps I've had the chance to play. Really excels with low tunings.

Man, I really, really hope he sticks to what he says. The clips that oniduder? I think put up sounded fantastic, and I feel for everyone who's been caught up with their money in this.

I really hope he comes through for everyone. I do find it interesting and perhaps promising that he emailed me the same week he posted that to his facebook.

Man thats exactly why I want one. This is one of those things that Im willing go into blindly. But Im not paying a dime until its ready to ship. Actually Im gonna go pick it up in person. I will probably bring a KxK or Mayones 8 and plug in first while Im at it. But its gonna be a while before I even get the chance to purchase one, providing he even comes through

IF he manages to get caught up and is able to produce amps for new customers, I'd strongly suggest looking into a way to hold a deposit in escrow. That way he'll know who's really serious about buying one but he won't be able to take the money until he delivers the goods.

If he can do this, he has a chance of repairing some of the damage he's done to himself. Speaking only for myself, I'd be extremely reluctant to buy anything from him. As of this time the only DAR amp I'd get would be a used one. Even if I did purchase a new DAR, there's still the question of servicing in the future . . .

It still amazes me that such an obvious typo was allowed to pass through to the final game. Were there even any developers involved?! It's like they just made all the assets and threw it into a shoddy chinese "MAEK A GAEM" application and shipped whatever came out!

And then one of them went on to make The WarZ, which went HORRIBLY.

Anyway, how long has it been since the DAR mess started now? I have to give it to the guy, it really looks like he has just been keeping it up, and doing good work rather than fast work. He probably won't let shit leave his shop, I'm guessing. Prototypes excluded.

Which while admirable and understandable (and those things do look complicated as fuck) doesn't excuse the errors in communications.

But hey, preacher, choir, glad things look to be righting themselves (knock on wood).

I believe he said that he'll be taking orders without any deposit from here on out.

That is what he said. I actually just went ahead and added myself to the list. Now that a deposit isn't required it's not as risky and after having the opportunity to play oniduder's FBM I believe it's worth the wait.

The best outcome would be that this whole episode was a large bump in the road and going forward there will be absolutely no problems. Even without the recent phuque-ups, I've shifted my focus to Dynamo Amps as I think they'd come closer to what I'm looking for . . .

FWIW I emailed him this morning asking questions and he got back to me within half an hour...

Put myself on the list as well... No deposit, nothing to lose
