op-z durability. (bowed unit)

Relented and bought one from Andertons uk. Ive been pretty vocal about how over-priced the op-z, and having one in my hands hasnt changed that opinion. It really does not feel like special at all. Mine has a slight bow in the center, only about a 1mm curvature from the ends. Looking at how wide apart the yellow feet are i can see this could get worse in time, ending up with the middle being lower than a slugs arse while the ends banana upwards. Does yours have this limited-edition-te special bonus feature/flaw? (Im sure the sharp corners will also chip off in time. I love using it, it sounds superb, and the layout`s cool even if the colour scheme is impractical and ugly).

TE is very upfront about this on their webpage. “WARNING: DOES NOT FEEL LIKE SPECIAL. TO AVOID BODILY INJURY, DO NOT TOUCH SHARP CORNERS UNTIL THEY CHIP OFF. ALWAYS END BANANA UPWARDS FROM SPECIAL EDITION 600 DOLLAR SLUG ARSE TO AVOID CORRECTIVE BRACES FROM BECOMING ENTANGLED. COLOR SCHEME IS IMPRACTICAL. IF FEET ARE YELLOW, SAFELY DISPOSE OF UNIT.”

Received mine from Andertons today and it’s straight. If you’re not happy contact Andertons and ask for another?

Hey Jim,

I just received my OP-Z and it is a little bent/warped too… guess it’s a the rage now, even the new iPad Pro comes pre-bent from the factory… I am gonna give the OP-Z a try and decide later if I keep it or return it to the store…

I really like this piece of gear, I take it everywhere, and use it at home to CV control analog. BUT… mine is warped too. At this price it’s BS. It’s also crashed half a dozen while jamming. Again, unacceptable.

Mine crashes all time.
