Thwith video above shows him disengaging the pedal before any of the notes really get a chance to decay.. you could be on to something there. All of the bit crushing type effects I've fooled around with seem to gate pretty predictably.
Still it's kind of a nutty effect

From the vidz available I'd guess no gate. also somewhat beside the point when there's a laser sound decaying. It's all about tracking when it comes to PLL madness being shackled or let loose. The FM control and glide/vibrato switch are just different levels of that madness.

This is gonna be on the board of every kid within a year.
As for me, I still can't decide if I dig PLL's or not. It looks cool though. and you gotta say that's a decent prize for one at least.

If you've watched Shrubsies 4046 demo you probably get what this does.
4046 is still my favorite new wave PLL but this is a pretty cool way for people to actually find and try one of the circuits. Won't be buying one but I like that it's widespread.

Agree it's a Great build, really solid implementation of a PLL with interesting new features.
Agree on price, too.
But, as to widespread adoption, I think this will confound some people. Those first demos that showed up out of nowhere are a great example. Folks with a penchant for plug/chug transparent ODs looking for something different are going to have this on an 'emporium' quickly. Not saying it won't be tatties, but after a few attempts to tame those lasers, some folks are gonna say f-it and bail.

It gates pretty consistently with the square wave all the way up, if the harmony voices are also cranked they seem to decay at a different rate, and sputter out/motorboat like a great destroyer

Phase Locked Loops are by definition mono

Most of the demos I have seen have been by retailers that would be provided early units to produce demos but would not have been paid youtube demo characters. I did see Mike Hermans sold one on Reverb the day they were released so maybe some of those guys did get one but I cant imagine how it would be worth a ton of cash for a Knobs or other youtube demo guy demo when you have a pile of other folks making demos as part of their own retail businesses without trying to wring hundreds of dollars out of the manufacturer based on subscriber numbers.

$225
In the States, yeah. You guys can also buy an Avalanche Run for less than $300. In Europe the best I could do for one of those was €375 minus a 5% discount with a promotional discount code...
Well they're $225 street (Avalanche is $295 street), so they should be significantly less, even with import duties/taxes. Of course you could always ask someone on the board to ship one from the US and declare it as a gift or commercial sample. That would help you save some cash as well.
Just found out one of the cheapest retailers in The Netherlands is currently listing them for pre-order at €245, which means if I find another 5 or 10% discount code it'll get it in the 220-230 range, which is definitely an acceptable price point for such a beast of a pedal.
