Hi @bobcooper good question! We were actually thinking it would be a late summer sale / drop instead of a pre-order. But time is flying by and we are reevaluating some things. With all the analog circuitry in Sparks it requires pretty intense oversight / involvement from Jaak and we don’t have bandwidth to make more quite yet. We are focusing on the current Ribbons pre-order and delivering a 2.0 firmware update for that. Once we have news about more Sparks we’ll post on the forum and you should get an email.
If you’re itching for a Sparks asap there are a couple on Reverb for very close to retail price. Possibly a good move!
