If you're not in the pre-order list, though, it may be a couple months before you can get one anyway.


The UMC-1 had it's fair share of delays as well.
Some bugs still appear to be evident, but they claim they should be simple firmware updates. Also mentioned in their webcast was that anyone getting on the preorder list now, could expect delivery possibly in April.

Also, for 5 times the price of the UMC, you can get the Sherbourne PT-7020. With the exception of one RU extra in height, different front panels, and the balanced outputs on the back panel, these 2 units appear to be identical.
