I just got my order, the Boss VE-22. I must say I am very happy with your services - great flexibility (my previous order of AER was handled perfectly when I was in urgency) and organisation (the Boss VE 22 was available while on other dealer's pages, it’s only in pre-order). I very much appreciate also the human aspects and communication - you replied to me on a sunday and it was very reassuring. I didn’t get an automatic AI reply. And last but definitely not least, the price is far the best from all options, even Thomann. Great job, I am so happy that by my purchases I can support a company like this ! Thanks for your work.
