Damnit, I didn't think $800 was too bad a price for the MS3 until I saw them for $600 in Australia

How much is shipping from aussie ? And have you added GST ? And have you added other import charges?

I wasn't thinking of importing one, just annoyed at the price difference. I can't see any reason Australian prices should be more than 20% cheaper than here.

They have GST as well - can't remember what rate though.

Yes, and it can be assigned to any of the footswitches as you desire.

The top footswitch for example, is by default switching to manual mode (wether or not it controls patch switching within the bank or blank footswitches ready for parameter assignment within the bank)

Within the control section of the patch however, you could reassign this to tap tempo when using manual mode within the patch.

It's pretty cool, you have heaps of options.

Yeah I think that's is the RRP, a bunch of places seem to be selling it for less.

In the States, RRP is US$560 and places are selling for US$400. In NZ, we seem to get RRP...

Anyway, as I don't really need the FX, I'm sticking with my ES-5 switcher.

$699au is $734nz, so the real difference is only $66 .... really don't see that as a big deal at all. I can tell you that the RS guys will give you a bigger discount than $66 on an $800 purchase

Not sure what to say to this, except that I find the MIDI very useful myself. YMMV.

In any case, I have begun dialogue with the product team on your issues via email.
Just to say, I know the amp is inexpensive, but you can control everything via the usb editor, so why not open that up to actual midi over usb or midi? People are having to do backflips to catch the midi messages sent via usb to get the protocol. Its there but unreleased. Everything can be controlled in realtime (via the editor) so why not allow it by midi?
