    Whoa. WANT.

    I'm shocked this thing isn't $500+. It's getting rave reviews after being announced last week. Tycho had a video on Instagram that was pretty inspiring.

    • nice, wondering if the pitch shifter is polyphonic... would be a no brainer if it could take the POG's spot on my board.kingsteven
    • I think the combo of this and my delay pedals and/or Empress reverb could be incredible. i find myself veering more towards software effectsmg33
    • these days and avoiding some of my pedalboard staples, but this one could be so creative and fun to use.mg33
    • i use jam origin + soft synths for this sort of stuff on the computer works really well. pedal board is still needed live but resent the thing more by the day.kingsteven
    • That's interesting. I still use almost everything I used in my stereo setup in my band, but that all ended in 2010.mg33
    • So I've been thinking about scaling down my pedalboard and only focusing on essentials that I prefer or can't get in the computer, reduce noise, simplify.mg33
    • For example, I've got the Empress Reverb and it's just too many options, too many settings. Considering the Meris Mercury 7.mg33
    • I barely use my distortion pedals these days. Feeling much more like a dial-it-in, set it and forget it approach.mg33
    • Also, kingsteven, do you follow Tycho on Instagram? His videos and stories lately make me really want a drawer-based setup for pedals.mg33
    • Sweet - you can see IG stories on desktop now - https://www.instagra…mg33
    • oh, nice! mate of mine has a set up like this in his studio. but yeah same issue, maintaining 2k+ of pedals in an idiosyncratic arrangement for 5 shows a year!kingsteven
    • and all my parts on the new record i can do with Guitar -> DOD OD/Preamp 250 -> Amp! So it's a historical burden!kingsteven
    • Would consider a Line 6 Helix HX just for live but it's not going to be as good and I don't even need all those buttons!kingsteven
    • Maybe the next gen. of multifx will save me: small footprint / set up presets on the computer / just 2-3 assignable switches + knobs on the box.kingsteven
    • I barely even play through my amps anymore. Usually just guitar > effects > Apogee Duet 2 > computer + Bias Amp.mg33
