Behringer Time Machine analogue delay

I'm just wondering if anyone has come across one of these pedals yet?

Quite obviously, it is based on the Electro Harmonix Memory Man, but I have not seen any opinions or reviews up anywhere. I'd like to get myself an analogue delay pedal, and don't know whether to bother considerng this alongside The MXR Carbon Copy and Carl Martin Red Repeat (which is part analogue and part digital, I know).

The 'Vintage' range from Behringer has generally done well in reviews, so although it is cheaper than either the MXR or Carl Martin, it may be worth a look.

Andy-

According to the little button on the Behringer link labelled "product availability", we won't be seeing these on this side of the Atlantic. Everywhere else, availability is listed as "4th quarter 2008" which would be Oct 1- Dec 31.

Since today is Sept. 30th, you won't be seeing any reviews of this just yet.

That might just explain it!

I spotted that it wasn't yet released months back, thing is it has been listed, with prices, on plenty of sites for some time now. I assumed that might mean you could actually buy it, but as ChrisK might well say...

Hype is.

There is no hurry in getting a new pedal, only that I'm a guitarist, therefore, I WANT IT ALREADY! It's just a long shot as to whether it will top the MXR and Carl Martin, but I'll see if I can stick it out until someone else takes the plunge on my behalf and moans about it on Harmony Central!
