Cancel, Wait or pay more...

LuttiS

As mentioned in another thread somewhere, I ordered a Keeley Caverns V2.

I looked at Andertons in the day... £135, 2 in stock. 

I went to order at night, 0 in stock, pre-order now, waiting on date. Everywhere else i can find has increased the price. I pre-ordered then. 
Just found out its going to be back in stock 28th December...  Not sure i can wait that long.. Should i cancel and get something else, wait three months, or pay an extra £40 to get it elsewhere?

Is there anything similar for that kinda price?

MrMusic

Unfortunately I'd cancel and look elsewhere.

I pre-ordered the Keeley Delay workstation last year from Andertons, which at first said 3 months but ended up being 6 months in the end

At least its not Richtone!

I was very tempted at that price, they are that used elsewhere. I ummed and ahhed then saw the December date, just don't know how meaningful that is.
Might be worth an email to anyone who has stock ( Gear4Music from memory) to ask if they can do anything on price as you are torn between the cheap price and what might be a wait.

£135 seems a very nice price for a 2-in-1 delay/reverb pedal by a brand such as Keeley?

LuttiS

Reckon its got to be worth an email to gear4music as they had that price last week... Failing that, any similar pedal recommendations?

CKK Spacestation Pro?
Less features than the Caverns, but depends what you're after...

I just returned my Keeley Caverns v2 a few days back. Was alerted via txt that it reached Gear4music yesterday afternoon.

Could give them an email and ask if they might sell it as a pre-owned item at an even cheaper price.

LuttiS

I did actually get in touch with gear4music a while ago asking if they'd price match, but they were all like "nah lolz." 

I'm happy with a new one at £135 (actually 129ish as had loyalty points  )

@Dopesick Why did you return yours?

@LuttiS Just wasn't a fan tbh. The reverbs were outstanding but I felt the delay was a bit.....bland.

Cancel. They'll always be deals to be had. Especially with Andertons. 

LuttiS

I thought about cancelling @hotpickups , but then thought no point until I find something else to replace it.. and then it arrived yesterday

Is it any good looks like a good deal at £135 and I love a bit of reverb

LuttiS

@capo4th The reverb on it is outstanding, haven't gone through all the delay yet but it sounds good so far and they both seem to work nice together. Its a great deal at £135. Think it was like a pre order/1st batch price, everywhere seems to be selling for around the £180 mark now, definitely worth it if you can find for £135.

capo4th

Back in at Andertons £135

Sweet!

Really like mine, both the delay and reverb but together they work really well together, more than the sum if their parts.   It’s a nice small footprint for 2 effects and top mounted jacks go great on a small board.   Definitely good value at £135.
