I had seen pricing earlier in the Spring and if I'm remembering correctly, it's around US $250-$300 … supposed to be shipping late this Summer, but that seems to keep getting pushed further and further out. I'm just hoping it gets out of "prototype ware" … Best, Dennis http://soundcloud.com/usrsbin http://audiozoloft.com http://usrslashsbin.angrek.com/ On Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 3:33 AM, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I have seen some demonstation videos of the Triple Play, used > with a guitar.
