I was the person who originally mailed this to the AH list. I have to
point out that ALL of this is vaporware at this point. the 16 second
delay more than any other piece. Even Ron Neeley the EH man (and a
*great* repair tech BTW) who posted this to his page just shrugs and
said he doesn't know if sovtek/new Sensor is serious or not.

One thing I will say with certainty is that these rumors have been
running for well over two years (regarding the Micro/Bass microsynth)
the pedal hasn't been released or given a relase date yet and no
official word is out when/if it will be available let alone features and
prices. 

So basically don't hold your breath folks. Years ago mid rumbling of the
microsynth reissue I got one at VINTAGE!!(tm)  prices and quite frankly
I'm glad I did, I love it dearly. if these creatures do come out all the
better. Personally i'm not about to pay $800+ for a broken/scratched up
used 16 second delay anyway so it's not as though I'm missing something
if the wait is two more years or never for that matter. 

I posted the mails because i thought it might squash some of the more
outragoues rumors that were going around not to start or confirm new
ones. I would hate to see discussions about specifics on a piece that
doesn't even exist yet start to creep up. 

Me, I love my obie echoplex :)
