Then the other guy responded with, "I want it to put its penis in me". :lol:

I love how he keeps asking if stuff can be circuit-bent and you can see the panic in the seller's eyes.

This dude did a clinic at the store I work at, and honestly this thing doesn’t seem to do anything? We have one in, and it barely boosts volume, the gate doesn’t do shit, and it’s really expensive. Also doesn’t have enough gain to push the amp at all.

I was going to say, all the demos are highly mixed and effects heavy outside the device and hidden with a mix. Not that it can't sound good, but I have been given no reasonable example of what it does.

Meh. It still warbles. I'd rather buy a pitchfork or a ricochet. I don't know why anyone is trying to make a digital octave pedal anymore if they can't do something new with it.
We did it because many folks want a polyphonic octave dropped into our pedals. We've been making green ringer clones to do dirty octave up, but small vero/pcb octave down options are, like, not a thing. We are trying to show that we can adapt and do what people are asking for. The "new" thing we are doing with DSP octave is that we are dropping them into our line, which you cannot get anywhere else as an add on.

I totally get it. You can get a normal DSP octave from EHX or elsewhere...trying to be different and push customization for our customers :).

1) it forces you into supporting them twice
2) not offering it as a standalone means they don't have to design separate artwork & do a whole new ad campaign
3) it's not a pre-built design being shipped to dealers, so that's less enclosures taking up storage
4) they're likely projecting that it won't be a big enough seller, that they need to dedicate extra time to treating it as a cornerstone of their product lineup
1) almost. $100 basically means we make little to nothing as a profit for the hard work and hella parts that go into making it. It's "different" than what others are doing.
2) the ads on this is actually harder...we made our lives way harder to show this off.
3) we actually have to buy more enclosures and get them printed to fit this in some builds like Blast Furnace, lunaReclipse, or Afterlife.
4) Nope, projecting it will do well (otherwise why pay $6000 in total NAMM stuff and make a new thing haha).

Long story short, we're dumping lots of money and time into doing something "different" than everyone else...Really trying to push customization and add-ons to make every build special rather than being an assembly line. The personal touch > mass production.

This may be controversial but I do not believe that an overdrive pedal requires three tutorial videos.

While I think a lot of OD pedals have more sounds in them than people bother using them for (and instead buy a second OD...), three tutorials for one is INSANE.

Especially when the demo is so overproduced that between the mystery amp (is it set for crunch already??) and heavy reverb it's impossible to hear the pedal itself anyway.

I have the Syntax Error already, and I like making ridiculous noises, so I guess I'd better add the Colour Theory to my wishlist. :)
