As for Elma - call them directly, they sell in small quantities to individuals. It's how I've gotten all my Elmas...

I've gotten in contact with them, thanks so much for your help (in the PMs too)!

new or used?

(Slightly) used. I'm told the unit is in great condition.

No hard bypass on the new 432's either, although to me the 432 bypass does sound a lot more transparent than the 250EX.

That's encouraging. My 250C has a relay bypass mod, so I don't know what its original bypass sounds like, but when patched in with all pots at 0, the unit certainly isn't completely transparent.

I would recommend trying a 432 before a buying 462 if you can. The ability to dial a different setting for L vs R or M vs S is one of the most powerful uses of the Sontec sound in my opinion. With the right support EQ you won't feel like extra bands are needed.

I don't have the option to try a 432 first, but I'm actually liking the idea of having a 462, not because of the number of bands, but because of ganged controls. The ability to operate the EQ without having to match sides should make for fast, intuitive fiddling. With my eyes closed and the other hand on the compressor, if I want
Lack of separate L/R & M/S settings (in one of 4 EQs) is a price I'm willing to pay for that.
