nicht gut

Really sorry to hear this. The product was great! I wish I couldn't relate to his troubles so well. I have lost money every year since 2008 and needed a business manager since day 1. By the time my business skills got up to par I was buried. Not sure I could have saved the kit business, in fact I would have made the call to stop them much sooner.

Old news now lol

Wow. This story isn't an unusual one. I think so many people get into business on the internet hoping to be the "next big thing" and it certainly seems like Faustine had a superior product, but there's so much competition for the dollar out there... add in overhead costs, and you're better off working a day job, which gives you a steady income, plus benefits ...

But from the other end, it sucks to be a customer who sent a deposit for a product that he'll never get, and a refund he'll likely (admittedly) never see.

What would be an alternative for the Faustine?

I have the Alex Attenuator, and I think it's great. Much better than the THD Hotplate I had.

I've been using an Alex Attenuator in my demo room since the LA AMP Show in 2009. I made that decision after hearing the Faustine Phantom side by side with the Alex. Doesn't have as many bells and whistles, but it's also 1/2 (less actually) the price of the Faustine...and...available.

Anyone going to the amp show in Anaheim (info below) can come check one out at my demo room there. I'll be sharing a room with my buddy Jim Wagner of WCR Guitar...and we'll have the usual Hebrew National hot dogs and beer as well.

nothin like beating a dead horse

I'd get an Alex even if Faustine had things smoothed out and was still operating.

And so I DID!
