The descriptions of all the mach II stuff looked pretty much identical
to the originals as far as I can tell.  What I'm curious about though is
how they think they're going to make ANY money selling anything but the
Repeater.  Ever since the Musician's Friend/Guitar Center blowout of the
Electrix line, this stuff has been really cheap (most prices on Ebay are
just now getting to be $50-$100 above the blowout price and there are
always plenty of them).  If Electrix lost money manufacturing these
things and selling them for $300-400 how are they going to make any
money selling them this time around?

Of course this doesn't hold true for the Repeater I think but I wonder
why they re-introduced the whole line when there only seems to be demand
for the one product.

How amazing, how amazing!
Hard to comprehend that
Nonsentient beings expound Dharma.
It simply cannot be heard with the ear,
But when sound is heard with the eye,
Then it is understood.
