Tax for what? US sales tax only for people in the same state as them. If they’ve added VAT on ?

It's VAT, i got about $35 added onto mine which is 20% of the super early bird - it should have been clearer but it's dependant on which country you're ordering to which sets the final price.. lucky german's only had to pay 19%! Still a potentially good deal if it lives up to expectations..

Ah ok. Cool.

Just had a look - there are over 10,000 pre-orders... seems like they've done alright for themselves here..

I've had good experiences with BiasFX on my iPAD, so I took a pint on the Early Bird offer (even though the added VAT was a bit of a surprise). The YouTube demos thankfully are fairly impressive, but it's noticeable there's no demo yet of the auto-accompaniment function... I suspect there's some software tweaking still going on there.

Not sure how that added tax thing works? Are they saying they're settling some of  the import duties, or do you get to enjoy the privilege of paying them as well?  

Not stirring it, just never heard of this arrangement before.

I think they setup a European distribution hub to avoid additional import fees,etc. I’ve got a different Kickstarter project that has switched to doing that, pay 20% upfront and avoid extra shipping fees and Royal Mails “handling fee”.

Sophie Burrell has done a great youtube video on it. As. I said earlier though I like a footswitch , plus you might want to be able to record what you have done with the jam along band feature .

It's got an interface capability so i imagine if you are using it as that you could probably record your jams.. maybe

Thread bump time...

Just wondering if anyone has had a go on these or any further thoughts? Gotta be honest, I'd never even heard of this until today and it piqued my interest.

@luttiS have you still got a pre-order in (or taken delivery)?

It's been... Delayed... Due to 'overwhelming' demand.
I'm super early bird so should be first batch in the next couple of weeks.

All the videos so far look good.

A mate takes delivery in February and so I'm hoping to have a go.

The demos look good. The only 'Cons' I've read is that it should have some sort of footswitch.

I'm not too fussed about a foot switch. A line out other than headphones would have been nice though..

I agree

Update on the site says super early bird (me) should be shipping this week! 

Colour me unconvinced!

26 minute later update: confirmation of shipping.

fastonebaz

I want one!

I would have bought one if they'd ship it to me. I'll have to wait a bit.
