I have a number of devices (including some from TC Helicon) that have been discontinued, and they all still work fine. It's normal for companies to discontinue items when they release newer versions. It just makes sense from a production line perspective.

In fact, you can get good deals on discontinued products on eBay.

I notice that some products are so well received that the price actually goes UP after it goes out of production. People will pay a premium price to buy the rare commodity that's no longer available in stores.

Bottom line... unless you know for sure that particular model was discontinued for design reasons, it might not be a problem to buy a discontinued item. TC Helicon has a stellar reputation.
