Pity we couldn't buy the empeg design off them and put into production when the world is ready for the leap

This was mentioned already in another thread. It seems that very thought has crossed the mind of at least a couple people in Cambridge. If you think you have access to the resources to do this, you might want to contact them. Be warned, though, that it wasn't easy for Empeg to do it, even when it was their full time job. And I don't know if they were seriously considering releasing the hardware design or not, it was just an off-handed comment in the other thread.
