Yup, I pulled the trigger. But, my order is still "Pending fulfillment" :\ Kinda strange b/c I order it on April 15, 2025 at 8:03 AM I will try to be patient! haha My rig is all midi controlled, so I'm hoping to bump a couple of my non-midi drives off the board in favour of this one.
I can’t see why you won’t get one: they seemed to indicate that they still had stock of the first run at that point. I’m curious to see how you think it will fit into your MIDI-controlled rig. I haven’t made the leap to MIDI-Land yet, although I’ve been preparing.
 
I just got my shipping confirmation! They’ve obviously got a lot of orders to process.

I used to used the original Brothers pedal in a midi live rig. I would make a bunch of different presets with different gain staging and I’d switch to them all with a controller. It worked really well. I’m excited to give this one a spin although I don’t have a midi rig anymore.

For anyone who orders a Brothers AM, when did you order it and do you already have shipping confirmation?

I ordered mine 12:40 the night it dropped and I still don’t have my confirmation.
Thanks for the nod.
In 2009, my long-time buddy RG Keen arranged for me to have lunch with Bob Weil, the owner of Truetone (then called Visual Sound). Over lunch, I tried to persuade Bob to implement order-flipping in his various dual pedals, noting that every year on the DIY Stompbox forum, we'd get inquiries about "should I put this before or after that?". I suggested that he could even include a loop and order flipping in single-effect pedals, such that the user could place their phaser or wah, before OR after the Truetone drive/distortion. He wasn't dismissive, but neither did he follow up. HOWEVER, when he switched from his "home-plate" shaped enclosures to regular rectangular cast-aluminum ones, housing two effects, he did include a loop insert that could permit changing the order as well as putting something between the two effect circuits. So, he traded one convenience for another. I suppose it depends on how one envisions the customer using the pedal. Personally, I like the instantaneity of flicking a switch, even if repatching affords more novelty and inventiveness.
Amazing…the Visual Sound stuff still seems to stand up: built like a tank and sounded awesome, especially the Liquid Chorus. The home-plate enclosure admittedly isn’t my favourite but easy to overlook with pedals that good. Haven’t played as much of the Truetone stuff but I do use their CS6 Pro power supply on 3 “small” boards I have.
 
of note, orders are now suspended. You guys that bought one will be able to flip it for double what you paid in not time.
It's not limited.
You've got people here, and on TGP prattling on about shipping notifications and wanting the pedal to arrive now.....as now as now can be.
So it makes sense for them to do what they need to in order to stabilize the masses.

This is probably the new ubiquitous drive "OCD" of this era.

Mine shows the same. I ordered it Monday night.
 
I placed my order on 15th, 10:21 pm. Still pending Fulfillment


Just as another data point: My order number was 47962 and still pending fulfillment. The demos I've heard haven't made me regret my decision at this point. I do use midi and this should be a sweet addition.
I am #47964 :eek:😁
 
Well, if you’re desperate, one is now up for sale on Facebook Marketplace here for $900...
Some folks have bigger credit limits than patience. These are likely the very same people I see weaving their oversized vehicle back and forth between lanes, 30kmh over the speed limit, ultimately ending up at the same red light as me, in the adjacent lane beside me.
