Free the tone Flight Time delay...discontinued!

JonHosker

Often considered buying one, and just spotted it is now discontinued...still stocked at Hotrox, but I wondered why?

Teetonetal

I heard two rumours; they have developed a new one, which is due for release this year, or some of the parts as discontinued, so they have to develop a new one.

Great delay

Maybe @robinbowes could ask his mate at the guitar shop what the score is??

Line level.

Discontinued due to parts

Still no stereo, and that tricky interface! Glad I jumped ship!

...another company who doesn't give a shit about what their customers are looking for!

I loved the interface. Thought it was intuitive and better than knobs that get kicked about.

Most players are mono I guess?

True, once you get used to it, it's nice enough. And yes, true about mono.

I've heard some people complain that FTT gave them shitty replies to perfectly reasonable requests or wishlists. That is polar opposite to the likes of Line 6, Source Audio, Thorpy etc.

That's a shame to hear as I absolutely love their pedals.

I thought that the Flightime sounded magnificent; very 3D

Ive always fancied their reverb one

Sounds great. Stupids preset system.

There may be some cultural stuff going on here. Remember FTT are very Japanese. More so than Boss or Yamaha who have been Westernised to an extent

Teetonetal

Didn't he also learn from / work of Pete Cornish? Not exactly famous for his people skills..

Jonathanthomas83

Pete was great with me, I remember him chatting to me for about an hour about Gilmours gear a few years back and was nothing but a gentleman when I needed advice.

I actually can't comment from experience. Pure internet facts only.

Yeah, I agree, it doesn't paint a friendly picture, does it! :-/
