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

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.willow13 wrote:How much is shipping from aussie ? And have you added GST ? And have you added other import charges?
They have GST as well - can't remember what rate though.willow13 wrote:How much is shipping from aussie ? And have you added GST ? And have you added other import charges?
Yes, and it can be assigned to any of the footswitches as you desire.jeremyb wrote:I assume theres an external tap tempo option?

Didn't Matt say Aussie was $699 rrp early in the thread?Hollowpoint wrote:Damnit, I didn't think $800 was too bad a price for the MS3 until I saw them for $600 in Australia
Yeah I think that's is the RRP, a bunch of places seem to be selling it for less.HackSaw wrote:Didn't Matt say Aussie was $699 rrp early in the thread?Hollowpoint wrote:Damnit, I didn't think $800 was too bad a price for the MS3 until I saw them for $600 in Australia

bottom line is RS have no competition so can charge full RRP where as the states is very dog eat dogConway wrote:In the States, RRP is US$560 and places are selling for US$400. In NZ, we seem to get RRP...
$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 purchaseHollowpoint wrote: Yeah I think that's is the RRP, a bunch of places seem to be selling it for less.
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?handsoffmatt wrote:Not sure what to say to this, except that I find the MIDI very useful myself. YMMV.Bg wrote: Come on Matt, the midi is next to useless, its the 3 channels and 3 effects. It was a selling point for me until I realised it doesn't exactly fill any midi spec.
In any case, I have begun dialogue with the product team on your issues via email.
