I have an Avalon, xoxbox, and TD-3-MO, love all things 303, when I seen the originals go for 2 grand and the re-issue early bird price was 777 I just jumped on the bandwagon.

Thanks!
I’m not too much higher in the queue than you were so I’m keeping my fingers crossed I’ll see a shipping notification this week or next!

Nice! Cliff knobs?
How do you like the sound so far?
Initial thought is I like it, I was suprised how much weight you get when knocking the bass switch from normal to boost, Tonight is the first chance ive really had with it so I’m just sat now with my headphones on and going through the manual try and learn it inside out rather than wing it.

Nice! I’m one of the first on the list from the early retail orders, so hopefully not too far behind the Kickstarter deliveries.
Unless there’s an uptick in the rate at which they’re able to build 'em, I’m guessing assembly of retail orders won’t begin until Nov or Dec.
That’s based on what I can gather in terms of order shipping to date, but perhaps that’s too pessimistic as I’m sure they’re improving the build and shipping process as they go.

My backer number was in the 130s and finally got my pre-shipping notification from UPS. They’re moving slow, but the units are getting out.
@cane_creek --What’s the verdict on your end after a week+ of using it?

To be honest due to every day life activities I’ve hardly used it yet I was hoping to have made a few videos by now but the time I have spent on it I do believe it’s much better than I thought it would be.
Sounds great and worked seamlessly with Ableton.
Last time I was testing it I was doing a 170bpm Squarepusher type idea with that Amenbreak plugin and the 777 rather than the usual 4x4 acid stuff folk do.
PS if your UK, you’ll pay a lot less import tax than you were expecting.

I look forward to hear any demoes you all manage to post. Congratulations to the early backers on getting the goods!
These guys deserve great customers and all the success.

Hoping someone is going to post some demos of this! Been trying to find good demos on youtube. But after they removed the “sort by date” thing its kind of hard to find anything. And most demos of the 777 are 15 years old, and no direct audio. hehe.
here are a few videos from kickstarters that have received their units

your figures would have been correct but luckily i noticed this and hired some short term help this week and we are knocking things out faster now. we are hoping to have all units shipped by the end of october. its been a wild ride!

Would be great to know this too as I’m one of the first non-KS orders AFAIK.

Good news and bad news:
-
Good news – my 777 arrived today!
-
Bad news – Unfortunately, there’s something rattling around inside my unit. Some sort of loose piece or part of my instrument.
- I haven’t tried turning on my instrument yet in case that’s going to fry something if the loose piece is a metal part sliding around making contacts it shouldn’t.
Somewhat frustratingly, FR doesn’t list a support email on the website. There’s just one of those annoying “web forms” that doesn’t provide any sort of record of your support submission. There’s an old support email address listed the old manuals, but that doesn’t seem to be operational and emails to it just bounce. So…
Paging @companyofquail !
