I was looking forward to snagging one of those or a mr black sub zero. woke up way too late
Sorry. It has been a grind for me to acquire both of these, too.
When the first batch of Sub Zeroes was announced about 2 years ago, I set my alarm for 3am EST, so I could buy one at Midnight Pacific. Then I got online and they apparently had all been sold hours earlier (pre-Black Friday). Something similar happened last year, too. PayPal fucked up my account and claimed "my e-mail was detached from my account", (how is that possible?) so even though I had all these funds available, I was unable to make any buys for about 24-hrs during Thanksgiving/Black Friday. By the time the PP issue was resolved, I couldn't buy any Mr. Black stuff. Earlier this year I was able to finally get a Sub Zero during a flanger weekend promotion. I'm pretty happy with it.
As for the Spectre, I didn't want to get one initially, because I feared Joel would roll out an MKII in a year. Then he rolled out the 'blue knob mod', and I kept waiting anyway. With last night's announcement of their indefinite hiatus, I knew I wasn't going to pay some douche on Reverb $450-800, while they get retooled. So I finally had no choice, but to pull the trigger last night on a blue knob. My flanger journey has required a lot of patience.
It's easy to find in search engines.
