I really want an El Capstipanan, but I've already got four delays. And I wanna get a HOG first. :mad:


Same bro. Actually I want both at the same time.
I might just have a PT JR consisting of a HOG > Fuzz God > El Cap > BSR
If i manage to sell off a lot of stuff :love:

I was saving up for an Empress Superdelay, but I think I might have to get one of these instead. My birthday is coming up soon and my girlfriend's been hinting at buying me a pedal, but I imagine the next batch of these is gonna sell out fast and I doubt she'll be willing to spend Tuesday on the Strymon site waiting for them to go on sale. Oh well, there's a store near me with a Whetsone in stock, I'd be pretty happy with that too.

Anywho... the word on the street is that the next batch will be available on Tuesday! :omg: :joy: :yay:

If this proves true then you all can thank me by waiting to order until I put my order in. :poke: :p :hug: :lol:

Hey dude, what word on what street? I emailed Strymon, and they said they'd email when more are available. I REALLY am planning on getting one. I hope I don't miss out... :no:
