I didn't see a date, but it's obviously an April 1 joke.

i wonder if they replace damaged equipment from people trying to find the tubes... i could just see someone plucking at the card with a tweezers... ha

From the web page:

Disclaimer

It has come to our attention that some UAD-1 users think this article is an April Fools' hoax. It is a hoax. However, please note that an electron microscope is still necessary when changing the tubes. No Engineering Department time was used in the creation of this article.

(emphasis mine)

Thanks for the laugh.

Yeah, I saw the same thing and got a good kick out of it. I have not seen the disclaimer yet, or just missed it, but was surprised to not see one at the end

Luckily I can't seem to find my electron microscope. Hopefully my tubes will last a little while longer at least
