Sent "Waitlist" request for FM9 on 7/31. Nothing yet but I guess I'm way down the list. Converting from tube amp rigs to modeler now. And recently moved somewhere where I can't practice at tube amp volume levels anymore. Not knowing when FM9s will be available has me looking at attenuator/load boxes (Ox, Fryette, etc.) and everything else. Hate to spend another $1000 plus on something else just to tie me over for the next several weeks?/months?/years? I'm sure many in the same boat but hopefully we can get some idea of lead times at some point. I'll admit I haven't read through this whole thread yet to see if there is any updated info on lead times.
