In retrospect, I probably should’ve mentioned this two days ago. Sorry.
3000 may be the licencing agreement as well as parts available.
For a company like Boss it would have to be right. I’d put money on them making a loss on this one.
From the interviews I’ve seen I really do think it was a labour of love on both sides.
3000 units divided into how many countries would get them and how many guitar stores (and considering the US, each state is like size of Europe)
If distributed somewhat evenly, a store would be lucky to get 10 allocated.
It is also strange that Sweetwater has never put up their pre-order page. No one on TGP has got one from Sweetwater or mentioned it ever went on sale there except someone mentioned they sold their allocation back in December when it was announced. It sounds like they sold them behind the scenes to staff or friends of staff back then.
It's just a fuzz pedal.
Aren't all fuzz pedals?
They're hardly works of historical significance.
I don't think we'll be seeing many behind glass in the British Museum.
Building things in this sort of number for a company like Boss is probably a complete PITA - far too many to subcontract out to a bloke in a shed (assuming that’s ever an option they could contemplate) but not remotely enough to justify the tooling/setup cost and disruption of sending it down a regular production line. Put me down in the “probably making a loss on every unit” camp...

I am glad Macaris chimed in... That seems like a decent and genuine response.
It is a cool project and puts the spotlight on both companies for their other products.
