Notes: FLAG: DISCONTINUED per WesAudio's own products page (listed under 'Discontinued'), outside the brief's 'current models only' scope - included anyway because explicitly named in the task; verify availability (likely used/secondary market only). EXCEPTION TO BRAND PATTERN: unlike virtually every other WesAudio product, Timbre's own product page states no USB/DAW/total-recall digital control feature - it is a classic all-tube, purely analog unit (digital_control='false'). price_usd, country_of_manufacture and year_intro left blank - not stated on page and no reliable current pricing found for this discontinued unit.
