I just got mine. Im from Malaysia, yeah it also out of stock here, but somehow only one shop is selling, and it is at retail price! I dont know what to feel, buying only after knowing it should already be discontinued. What if the new one actually will be better and price be similar, like many of their amps? 😅 But well what done is done, I got to contend with what I have right now
Glad you covered this for folks. That's what I've heard about chip supply issues, but they've said they need to redesign with the "new" chipset so it will be a long time before they reintroduce this I figure. I agree it will be at the higher price point you suggest, probably match the POD Express, although they will then compete with their IR-2. Hopefully they will get rid of the stopped hinge and make it like the Mustang Micro where it will bend down either way. The way the GO is now the hinge will break too easily as it sticks out. Anyway I've got one, I lucked out a small local guitar shop, Rufus, in Vancouver had a Kat GO in stock and I grabbed it. It's great fun. If people want a great low price modeler the POD Express, is really fun too, I use it as much as the GO.
An excellent alternative is the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. Great features, quality and price. Loving mine for a very long time already and still impressed and not disappointed by it.
Lots of theories so take your pick : Got pulled as damaging sales of the Boss Katana Gen 3 and too cheap A known quality issue that hasn't emerged fully yet?
I got extremely lucky in July, I randomly checked the guitar center website and there was an open box being sold after being out of stock for weeks. So I got one for $115 while it was being sold on ebay for $300+.
Wow- that really sucks. I LOVE mine. Hope it comes back. I really appreciate the Acoustic amp. The Go sounds great and super convenient.
Got mine for $99. When it stops working I will CRY!
Fender just came out with the Mustang Micro Plus and they really stepped it up bought one really impressed

Now Fender is trying to fill that gap with the Mustang micro plus.

My headphone jack in mine is already bad. Used it maybe 2 months then it started eating it.
Still on sale in Australia i had no problems finding one today

Your guess is almost a guarantee. Corporations are raising the price of almost everything these days.
I bought one also. But regardless of how good it is, I'm wondering if Roland/Boss felt a little embarrassed about the part supply issue.
