So I called Yorkville and it looks like Line6 will be shipping the transmitters at the end of this month at the earliest and at the end of next month at the latest. The rep did say that there are quite a few on back order and the initial shipment may not be enough to cover all the back orders. This means that unless you have one on reserve, you might not find any available for a few months.
Of course, the current world we live in has had an impact on this product being released. What I didn't know was where these are manufactured for Line6 is also where some medical equipment is manufactured that is desperately needed for the fight against Covid 19. It wasn't clear to me if Line6 was manufacturing much needed medical supplies or just in the factory. I guess in the end, It really doesn't matter. I know what should be prioritized. I now have a better understanding as to why its been taking so long to get these back in stock. As much as I want one, its not as important as saving someones life. I can wait.
Stay safe, we will get through this.
p.s. -Thank you to all the WWII vets who did what was needed to bring a different kind of virus that was infecting this world under control. Today marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
