I sure wish I got in on that Mirage pre-order. That thing sounds awesome. Not sure how it passed me by.
It's my Strymon. Sigh. Piece of shit. It has had issues since day 1 with powering DSP based effects other than my H9 for some reason. So weird.


I used this with my Pedal Power 2 last night, no issues at all. It sounds beautiful.

One of the coolest features on it IMO is that it follows the way you play. So if I play fast, the repeats increase, if I play slow they become more drawn out. I've never experienced that before with a delay? Unless I'm crazy here. It gets really shinny sounding with no dirt as well and dark with dirt.

I really think this one is a winner and could easily kill a lot of pedals. I wish there was easier access to some of the menu (like the filters) but I can live with pushing a button. lol.

It's extremely feature packed.

I can't wait to get this thing plugged into my PC and make some custom patterns!

Oh and the filters are freaking amazing. It makes using different instrument super simple

One of the odd things it shares with the Lexicon Vortex!

(Tap tempo only, and it's universal on the Vortex and not saved per preset)

I put up a demo. I used one of the prototypes for about a week. It's a solid pedal with a LOT of potential. The coolest part is going to be the RedShift app to program your own patterns and octaves. I want some 7/8 octave delays damnit! Ben is a super cool guy too and gave me a lot of good info on the pedal and how to use it. Honestly, I ordered one before even talking to them just because it seemed so cool. I can see how people are kinda weirded out by a kickstarter from an unknown company but you can tell these guys/gals put a ton of effort into this thing. I posted it over on my own thread but I'll post it here too (probably get scolded for posting it twice).

I love the echoplex throwback knobs! Very tasty choice!

That part with the volca sample reminded me of the One Step Beyond soundtrack (Adio skate vid) :thumb:
