I preordered through a local shop in Philly and I did the same thing with the timeline. Stores got them way earlier last time. Appears they're more prepared like schnickes said this time to get more out to preordered customers in the first batch. I'm really excited, should be here early next week they told me.

mine is shipped!

Yeah. I preorderd through a local shop in Dallas to avoid missing the beginning of the sell and getting it weeks later. And then I got the preorder notice at an early point where I could have been at the front of the line.

Ah well. It'll just be a few days later and didn't cost more. No biggie.

Man, I am so on board with this pedal after the new year.

TGP and eBay have some for sale at ridiculous prices. One is at $645 and reserve is not met I guess the other component is that some people are willing to pay that much.

Impatient Europeans, maybe? Won't ship to europe until next year.

The reserve is not met? So people are bidding? Dayum.....makes me want to order a second and sell the one that comes in, tomorrow. I can wait for an extra $200.

I'm so pissed you're getting yours already. I wonder how many preorders they took in the couple hours between your order and mine, to bump me to a later shipment.

Damn, man. That sucks.........well. I did it the night before I posted here. Or at least ordered it. Paypal messed up so I paid the invoice the next day (right before you ordered). But still. One day shouldn't have made that much of a difference.

Did you contact Brian?

Just got off the phone with him. Apparently Strymon only sent 6(!) to each dealer in the first round. They're waiting on round 2 now, and he confirmed that I'll be in that round.

why not order direct from Strymon? It looks like they are shipping orders pretty quickly.

Well, that would seem to be the smart way to go. Unfortunately, I already preordered this thing like a week and a half ago.

Yeah. I preordered from this store assuming there would be the usual months long backorder...but it looks like Strymon shaped up...........cus it need a man.

So everyone has been PMing me about my thoughts on the Mobius....I figure in order to keep my inbox empty, I'll post my thoughts.....alright, fine. Everyone was asking that I ship my Mobius to Excane to let him give you his thoughts on it but fuck you people. You have to deal with my thoughts.

Overall. The big word for it is SOLID. Let's take the Quadrature and Destroyer out of the equation. You're left with nothing groundbreaking. Just downright solid. Like the Timeline, it's dark, lush, and sounds analog. All of it. The parameters allow you to tweak pretty much everything. Yes, I can get nonwarbly stuff from the chorus. I mean, with all of these parameters and with the tap tempo, you can pretty much do anything. You could put them up against any straight up effect (taking out some of the CRAZY oddball guys) and each setting on the Mobius can go up head to head against that individual pedal and just sound awesome.

I do want to throw in here, I'm not the type of guy that stacks my mods. Those people might not find this guy as useful. I'll put dirt and fuzz with my mods, but for the most part, my mods stand alone.

So yes, it replaces a ton of stuff on my board. Now the big question for me is, will it do the expression stuff I was using the Tremolessence, Faye Sing, and Xero D for? I will be experimenting with this tonight and let you homecanoes, know. I really only made it through half of the presets before three out of five of the babies started crying. But I was able to get the general overall sound of the pedal and I can tell you that each mod holds up as lush, analog, and just downright beautiful.

Now......the Quadrature. That thing is cool and different. It's just a bunch of fun for me, nothing I could utilize, but if I did dub or electronica, this thing would be AWESOME. The Boss GT10B had some things that were similar to this, but it always sounded kinda cheesy where this sounds good.

The Destroyer. Holy ****. I would pay close to $300 for a pedal like this. Maybe there are pedals out there that can do these things.....but man....I've been looking for this for a LOOOOOONG time. I just...want to go into the studio so bad, now. The signal degradation....oooomph.....I just love it. I haven't gotten to mess with it a ton, like I said, three out of five were screaming. But this one mode is going to make so many local band CDs sound so much better.

So for me, I get an amazing setting in the Destroyer, and fun guy the Quad, I've added a lush flanger and chorus I didn't have on my board, the pattern trem, auto swell, and vibes are a'ight, but, most important, I think I've been able to bump my Tremolessence, Faye Sing, Expressionator, and future purchase Xero D off my board.....total savings of almost $300.

That's a bold request, ship your brand-new Mobius out right after arrival?!?! I'd decline as well.

I only had short time with mine, sounded excellent, can't wait to experiment. Also, while it could easily replace a buncha pedals on my main board, Ima construct a second smaller board featuring the Mobius, buncha dirt/fuzz, Second Voice, delay, and verb. Compact variety, should rule.
