Like most things in life, it's better to do a few things really well. Trying to clone every great vintage mic, pre, compressor and EQ, while also doing the marketing, quality control and providing great customer service is damn near impossible for a small shop.

i was in the first batch, but still haven’t received mine, FWIW. i feel sorry for you ... i received mine 2 months ago. the gear is and sounds good. but i won't use my 50% coupon - i am out. won't order from stam again if he doesn't get his business together. sorry stam, you're doing good work and you seem to be a good guy who got himself into trouble because quantity and quality never go hand in hand without a plan! Thank you sir I am glad you like the unit

I would like mine as well! First 150... Not that it means much! I would love to get an email that gives you a number for your preorder! That way you know where you are in line.

I received a hopeful update from the man himself: looks like the ADGs are awaiting upgraded chassis components and transformers, and should be shipping by late October. As an added bonus, they will now include a switch to activate an extra slow attack mode.
Given that I'm one of a number who have been fully paid-up since April- this is a nice bonus for hanging in there.
Crossing fingers that it makes it out of the barn.

Extra slow attack mode? Is this the mod John tried out ?

I got the same email too. One thing I don't understand is if this is different than the slow attack mode that the second group of ADGs was always supposed to have? Wasn't it originally supposed to be incorporated into the rotary switch or something?

My issue is they weren’t as fast as I was accustomed to.

Upgraded components and transformers? Does that mean my ADG doesn't have "upgraded" parts and transformers?

"Upgrade" only in reference to the chassis, which I believe is being changed to accommodate the new switch (but I could be wrong) . Pretty sure everything else is the same.

I'm not holding my breath on getting them next month either. I'm figuring some time in 2020. On the bright side, at least I don't have to make a decision/deposit on using my 50% discount until 30 days after I receive the ADGs.

Yep, it's been so long that I mostly have just stopped thinking about it. When you've already been lied to for a year and a half, what's another six months?

FB post today from Josh indicating he now has the chassis and apparently that was the hold up, so shipments of ADG and ADF should start in 3 weeks.

I was told in May that my ADG was all put together and just waiting shipping clearance. Then, in June, that it didn't pass the final QC. In August, it was apparently missing a transformer. And now I'm being told that it doesn't have a chassis.
It seems to be the Benjamin Button of compressors.
I was hopeful with the last email update from Stam, but at this point- the only picture I want to see is the one with the tracking number on it.
