An excellent alternative is the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. Great features, quality and price. Loving mine for a very long time already and still impressed and not disappointed by it.
Glad you covered this for folks. That's what I've heard about chip supply issues, but they've said they need to redesign with the "new" chipset so it will be a long time before they reintroduce this I figure. I agree it will be at the higher price point you suggest, probably match the POD Express, although they will then compete with their IR-2. Hopefully they will get rid of the stopped hinge and make it like the Mustang Micro where it will bend down either way. The way the GO is now the hinge will break too easily as it sticks out. Anyway I've got one, I lucked out a small local guitar shop, Rufus, in Vancouver had a Kat GO in stock and I grabbed it. It's great fun. If people want a great low price modeler the POD Express, is really fun too, I use it as much as the GO.
I got extremely lucky in July, I randomly checked the guitar center website and there was an open box being sold after being out of stock for weeks. So I got one for $115 while it was being sold on ebay for $300+.
Lots of theories so take your pick : Got pulled as damaging sales of the Boss Katana Gen 3 and too cheap A known quality issue that hasn't emerged fully yet?
Now Fender is trying to fill that gap with the Mustang micro plus.

Your guess is almost a guarantee. Corporations are raising the price of almost everything these days.
Just launched in SA… for about USD $294!!!!! Ripping us from the beginning..
Sounded too good to be truth
Yes
Just take the Boss Pocket GT and cut it in half, lol.
Mustang micro?
The boss blows away the fender micro
