| Around there. I don't set the final price. Each distributor does. I just set the price to them. |

Production test pc boards arrived today. These *should* be the final rev. I had to change the LEDs and swap a few pins on the CPU and voltage regulator.
If things go as planned, these pc boards will be released for production quantity on Wednesday of next week. So, around April 15th for stock at distribution. |

UPDATE
I have hand-built 2 units with the final production pc boards. Everything seems to check out OK.
But I want 1 person (in the US, to reduce ship times/customs hassles) to be a beta tester. Requirements are:
a) must be able to spend 3-4 evenings/6-8 hours of time messing with it
b) the object is to find out what's wrong with it (it is understood it is, in general, awesome.
c) must be able to have this time beginning Thursday March 15th and mail the unit back to me on Wednesday March 21. I will PayPal the beta tester $25 for postage/gas/lunch
d) must be able to record at least 1 2min demo showing the unit's various capabilities (the variable morphing, HOLD versus SYNC, etc). I do NOT need a video, an audio file is fine.
NOTE: this unit has a FPE front panel without 'tick' marks, it's banged up and the 2 lower mounting holes are not correctely aligned. But it will fit (it is 14HP wide). Will come with a standard Euro ribbon power cable.
PM me with your REAL NAME, what state you reside and 1 good reason I should let you do it. I will decide by Sun PM. |

Thanks for the love, Brian!
Paul didn't ask me, so he probably wants a fresh outlook? Not a bad idea really and I'm so over loaded with testing, demos, projects and commitments I'm behind on at the moment that it would be irresponsible of me to accept anything new to do! (and least more irresponsible than usual! ) _________________ | My Facebook | My Soundcloud |My Vimeo | My YouTube | My GrooveShark | |

Thank Paul, I'll try to do a good job and to those of you who were requesting me, thank you SO much for your love and support, I'll try not to let you down!  _________________ | My Facebook | My Soundcloud |My Vimeo | My YouTube | My GrooveShark | |

PC boards get released to production this Friday. It takes 2 weeks for them to arrive, then 2 more weeks to get stuffed. Then it takes ME 2 weeks to get them to distributors.
So in ~ 6 weeks they will be sitting on the shelves. |

uuuhhhmmm, holy crap . . . . the E355 is near impossible to properly test because it is SO FUCKING FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I'm being like a born again noob, possibly because I've never touched an E350, but even the simplest of patches are a kick!
I'll try to squeek out a short quick taste of a demo tonight but I'll get some serious footage tomorrow and try to get it edited by Friday or so.
Thanks for your patience, please stand by . . . . . _________________ | My Facebook | My Soundcloud |My Vimeo | My YouTube | My GrooveShark | |
