Even though the SFX Series products are made in China, each and every unit is opened up in our Santa Barbara factory and goes through a battery of tests before we box it up and ship it out. The bottleneck is that we only have two testers. And they're the same guys who test the other SFX products as well as the
D-TAR preamps.
The other part of the problem has to do with the commitment we made to filling Guitar Center's opening order. That about wiped us out.
The good news is that we're just now filling our European backorder and you should start seeing them on the shelves of music stores all over the world very shortly.
Thanks so much for your patience. As those who are lucky enough to have scored one will tell you, it'll be worth the wait.
