DigiTech did an AMA on Reddit somewhat recently and it seems like half the questions were for a Space Station reissue. Then you have the petition and the dudes from PedalsandEffects pestering Tom Cram on their show for it. I think we'll definitely see a reissue in the near future.

Anyone who has been following my interviews and online conversations knows that I want to make a new Space Station in the worst way. Sometimes things are harder to accomplish than they appear.

Out of curiosity - and if this is something you don't feel comfortable going into on a forum, that's totally understood - but what would you say is the primary sticking point (or points) with the Space Station? Is it legal, engineering, programming, market interest, or something we're not even considering?

I've gone into this in depth on TGP, but I'll try to make a synopsis here:

The DSP in the XP Series was a rare chip that used proprietary code. The DSP is no longer available and the code cannot be ported to other DSP platforms. Everything in the XP would have to be coded from scratch, and because of that it would be a huge undertaking and it would never sound exactly the same.

There is also a huge amount of internal cultural bias against the Space Station. People don't remember that at the time it was a HUGE flop, we literally couldn't give them away. Guitarists may forget that failure but, believe me, a business doesn't forget.

Think about this question: Could it be that the used prices are being driven up because of scarcity? Because there weren't many XP300's out there in the first place? Because no one bought them in the first place?

If it does get reissued, it would probably sound a little different, which is why I decided to grab an OG Space Station and a JetPack XP100 a few months ago.

Btw, I'd always read about how terrible the "tone suck" was on these things, so I did an A/B with a true bypass looper. I couldn't detect shit. Sounds fine to me.
