Is it any good? I love my Octatrack but not an Elektron fanboy.
That's a ridiculous price.

It is, considering it was like $300 when it was released and right now at ~$220
Pros:
analog circuits
8 of them
presets
MIDI
Cons:
mono
not very pedalboard friendly (power reqs, size)
I don't really needed one...

Additional cons I have seen are noisy and most sounds, particularly od’s, supposed to be overly gainy.
Still ordered. Gonna have to try sending CC from the MPX1 LFO to modulate volume or gain for budget Ayahuasca fun.
Sadly, no. Bank held the order and it went out of stock before I was told to resubmit by Thomann.

Sounds like a guy that's had it forever so factor in about $150 in recap work.

My order didn't went thru either. Not sure if I will be able to change payment method.
Oh well...
I didn't hear any convincing guitar clips, but it was more than decent for the few clips I listened on bass and synths.
Hopefully a v2 is coming with stereo and ability to stack modes, that I will buy for $300.

Best price I’ve seen on a (used) Eventide Timefactor, $176:

Someone hit that before I do. I’m overspending lately.
And it’s gone. Hopefully it was an ILF-er.
