Notes: DISCONTINUED / LEGACY FLAG: listed only on Aphex's 'Legacy Product Support' page, not current aphex.com/products catalog; retailer coverage explicitly states the Project Channel has been superseded by the current 'Channel' product (which reimagines the Model 230 with 7 functions vs. Project Channel's simpler preamp+compressor+exciter set). Included for completeness/history given its direct lineage to the current Channel product. Price not published/confirmed; left blank.
