[space6oy]

Don't worry, they have already hit our warehouse and are en-route to retailers.

yay! preordered and am obviously anxious...

Late May.

Hey dude! In case you don't check, I pmd you. Not being pushy!! Love you guys!!

This reminds me of back in the 1990s and I'd try to pre-order rap albums from Sam Goody.

Yo, I put a $5 deposit on Tical 2000: Judgement Day like six months ago. What do you mean they pushed back the release date again?

[D.o.S.]

Word to Dr. Dre Detox is like a mix away.

Finally arrived today! Sweet vwoopy bliss.

I really like the slim enclosure. I could tell that something was strange about the proportions from the pics, but didn't think about it too much. Are there other pedals out there that are this low-profile?

[Jwar]

Wait, which one did you get? Is the Ricochet out?

[Tom Von Kramm]

Yes, the first batch of Ricochet's arrived at retailers last week. Most went to retailer pre-orders (Sweetwater/CME), some stores have extra (Pitbull/Prymaxe), so they've been showing up in stock sporadically. The next, much larger shipment, arrives tomorrow so you'll see more retailer showing available stock.

There are already a few sellers on ebay offering open box Ricochets & Dirty Robots for a little less than retail, via the usual suspects .

[univalve]

Super curious about the dirty robot.

[Inconuucl]

What's the opinion on the Ricochet thus far? I want one to make Gazey Shieldesque wobbles and for crazy octave jumps.

[Confuzzled]

How does the Dirty Robot handle chords? Does it track well?

[manymanyhaha]

It tracks well.

For me, the plusses: True stereo aka dual mono in a compact form, has a couple sweet spots, unique sounding.

The negs: Only has a couple of sweet spots (at least for what I do), finding settings that avoid continuous sweeping is difficult and doesn't exactly replace what I used the Synth Wah for which was Auto Wah.

I take it off and put it back on the board often. It's a unique distortion but 95% of the sounds I get from it, I dislike. The 5% I like, I tire of on occasion.

Hmmmm. That doesn't sound promising. How about chords?
