No typo! I haven't had my O d'A since the 27th September. To be fair the units have been back at my dealer since last week.
And no upgrade. I have to wait with the rest of you until sometime in 2017 (July?). At least they are sticking to their guns on this.

That's incredible. What was wrong with them?

No worries. There was some discolouration of the chassis which I spotted in several places.

Ahh, that explains why it took so long. They wouldn't have too many Od'A cases in stock. Maybe they used Confused's 1000Pro case with a new coating. that explains why his is late too

Actually it was a very quick turnaround once the units got to France. The challenge was getting them there due to that massive wooden trunk that weighs a ton!
Anyway I understand they are in brand new cases now. Why they couldn't have just used a couple of 1000 PRO boards instead of my O d'A internals... oh well.
I guess they didn't want one of their greatest brand advocates waxing lyrical about the latest flagship model...

So hang on. Your OdA had to go back to the factory anyway and be completely swapped over for new cases, but they didn't do the upgrade at the same time? Insane if so. I thought the idea was to minimise transit?!

Can anyone confirm if the Venom 3 or Venom HC will fit under the back plate of a 120/200? Thank you.

Also note that there is a brand new IEC design coming out soon which will fit under the lid. This will be a substantial improvement over the existing slim IEC. Hopefully all will be announced in early December.
