Did I fuck up (Charlie Foxtrot)

A few months back I was hurting for cash so I sold mine for the plan of getting one again when finances got back in order. So any way hoping to get one again in the next month or 2 and I go look and I can't find them any where.
The only one I did find was like 500 some dollars. What the fuck.

Are they gone?
Could I behave sold mine for a lot more than 150?
Should I give up?

DId I wake up in a parallel universe? First, fuzzes going for $900 and now this?
I got this pedal for $160.65 less than 6 months ago...I saw one in BST for like $120 in-between that time as well. Now...I'm looking online and they're $500?
I love the pedal but that is literally retarded. So, "No" Bearstripes, you did not 'fuck up'. They will be back one day and not at an absurdly inflated price.

What the bullpocky regarding those prices. I got my former Charlie Foxtrot for 20% off the original street price earlier this year. If you're desperate and have the space, there's a workable granular sampling effect with integrated multidirectional expression control on the Zoom G5 (which should be cheap-ish used). I'm not sure how the Red Panda granular sampling delay compares, but it will definitely be cheaper than 5 bills used.

I always wanted one but I'm pretty sure I got mine because of your post :lol:. And same thing, got it because of a coupon.

… or code "EKKO919"?

Do you trust that estimated date of availability?

I'd try to get in contact with Malekko and just ask 'em about it.

I wonder if that pedal sold out because of Outward? Customers who could not get their hands on Outward were told "this is similar" (Spoiler: It isn't) so customers flocked towards this.

Not an opinion, just a discussion point. Any insights?

MF dates can certainly move up or down. Sometimes they're off because of new releases facing production delays (see DOD Rubberneck, Studiologic Sledge 2.0 in black, et cetera). When it comes to re-stocks, it's often a coin flip. Example: I've been contemplating getting an Empress Echo System, which wasn't supposed to arrive until around 9/17. Well I logged in yesterday and they were back in-stock more than 2 weeks early. So while the estimates are certainly fluid, I've never seen a pre-order canceled by them, due to a product being discontinued. If it had been, they would've closed the purchase option.

I'd love to see Malekko expand on this pedal with a couple presets and assignable tap tempo.

Hmmm. I'll check out the musicians friend. Other than that sounds like I gotta wait til one shows up ata fair price again.

yeah I loved the foxtrot, my only gripe was that the repeats didnt continue infinitely, they just stop after 20s i believe?

I was bummed about selling mine also. I contacted Malekko. They say they are making more just waiting on parts. I've seen several dealers say they will have stock on 9-18-17.
