Yeah, but they've got "worm" in their name. That's like one step away from naming your pedal company "Norwegian Scabies" or something.

Works for me.

It's easy to find in search engines.

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.

Nice. Has anyone used the Trio before? I bought one for a friend, who wanted to use it for home demos. I'm hoping it turns out to be a decent gift.

ARP-87s are about $160 on Reverb right now after the site-wide discount. Seems like a pretty decent price for a fun delay.

A handful of dealers have discounted the Elektron Analog Drive to $222 (or less with codes/offers).

...I wonder if dealers are just choosing to cease carrying them? It seems a few people were concerned about the EQ of the pedal after the first Knobs demo, but it seemed like the rawk guys really liked this one.
For $222, I figured it was worth a trial. I'm looking forward to running drum machines and synth bass through it.

I was eyeing that, too. I think this is new, lower price, and that 15 or 20% will therefor recur.
Waiting for someone else to try modulating parameters via CV or MIDI before taking the plunge. Maybe a poor man's Ayahuasca if you can wiggle gain and/or volume right?
