haven't been on for a while. was there talk that someone was going to make some tuner? is that still on? are they available? thanks

Try the search feature of the BBS. I'd refer you to the FAQ, but it doesn't look like there's an answer I can point you at.

There's an offhanded reference in the FAQ that tuners will be made in kit form soon, and then it tells you to search the BBS.

Go to the "Empeg Reviews" section, there's a thread on the topic there.
