That simply could mean that they can't spare any of the first batch they receive for the competition. They may need to sell all the first ones. I can't say that for sure obviously; it's just an idea. Either way I'm absolutely stoked for this pedal. I cannot wait to pick one up. It'll be my first pedal purchase in three months, a record for me. :cool:

I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on it, I'm still unsure, might get to a shop to try one out next week if they have one nearby.

The only thing I'm waiting with bated breath on is whether or not it is latent-free. I've had loopers in the past (usually ones built in to delay pedals) that have a split-second break after you finish recording. It used to completely through me off, defeating the (partial) purpose of a looper—to practise your licks. That's what I'll be judging first.

Dude from TC posted on TGP that UK dealers have them starting today, "Monday at the latest" it's just a matter of them getting listed for sale. The 28th is the US release date apparently.
Good deals on ILF: too many to list, just ask!

How easy is it to use the undo/redo function? I remember that being something awkward like holding the switch down for a certain time. Do you have to time that properly or does it start the 'redo' loop at the beginning of the next cycle where you want it?

Nice. I'll probably pick mine up tonight. Will have to wait for it though.

The undo redo function you do have to time its holding it down for a couple seconds and then it does it not at the start of the phrase or anything though. It works like a jamman if you don't have the extra aux switches plugged in so it's not a big deal.
Cancelling your loop is best done by double tapping and holding when you finish playing the phrase not after because the first tap causes the loop to start playing for a fraction of a second if you don't.
Double tap to stop isn't an issue cause the switches are super soft touch and you have a good window of time to tap in.

Other than those two things, which aren't really deal breakers for me the looper sounds way better than the boss or digitech or headrush loopers cause it's got no preamp. The guitar goes in and comes out the same volume just with the loop added which is what I wanted. I've switched my jamman over to recording just vocals live and playing samples, the ditto is definitely better for live stuff for me.
