A lot of American music instrument manufacturers have had trouble with importing things to Europe lately, because CE approvals can be an expensive process. Most of these companies are small and have a tough time finding the money to pay for emissions scans, the engineering talent to design products that pass, and the resources to completely redo the thing so that it can be exported to Europe. We had this problem with the Echoplex. Since I'm not involved in that anymore, I don't know if they have actually passed CE and are allowed to sell it in Europe yet. That's one reason why these things are so expensive there. I'm not sure if Sam Ash or other American distributors can sell overseas. They would probably get in trouble with the manufacturers since they would be competing with European distributors. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
