My Polytune Noir takes about 9 stomps to turn on and off again. It's great!

https://nativeaudio.us/subscriberlist/wilderness
The Wilderness is an analog-voiced delay with up to 1000 milliseconds of delay time. The Wilderness offers feedback, mix, and modulation controls that are global to its two modes: tap and ramp. Tap mode offers tap tempo functionality with four available subdivisions. Ramp mode allows the user to set a slow and fast delay time, and accelerate between the two, creating a pitch-shifting effect.

I couldn't get into the Triple Flashback and returned it immediately. It sounded so lo-fi and murky, even without using all 3 delays. The algos in the Alter Ego X4 were so much better.

The AE X4 did have two huge flaws---no modulation depth/rate control and there was no way to recall presets. I could never understand why TCE never combined the Triple with the AE X4, while also adding proper MIDI memory and a modulation pot. That could've competed against basically any stompbox delay.

Just like the Flashback series being a step behind, I imagine in a few more years Uli the Brain will hear about granular delay and make a half-assed effort, while failing to bring anything worthwhile to the table.

The new version of the Outward will finally be available this coming Tuesday, August 6th at 10:00 am, CST (check your time zone against Minneapolis time).

There will also be a pre-order for the next run of Outwards. So, if the direct order is sold out, please check my store page for the pre-order option. I hope this allows people who missed out and really want the pedal an option to access one, albeit with a longer wait time (3-5 month estimate).

Cost : $285

reposted from @bettysfx Here's a video tease of the new Drolo Stamme[tt], available exclusively to us for use in our builds. Inspired by the Stamme[n] this circuit has 8 carefully tweaked effects optimized for adventurous effect manipulation with your strumming hand while playing - spindown/speedup reverbs, forward/reverse interval based delays, trigger-less looping, extreme sample mangling, lo-fi chorus and pitch vibrato, and more. As we approach the launch of pre-built Betty's guitars with this circuit inside we'll be posting more in-depth videos of all the patches in use. Get ready to crumble!

That clip is cool but trapping a $400 pedal in a single guitar seems counterintuitive to me.

I think I'd stop seeing it as a pedal once it's in a guitar. It's just part of the instrument at that point. Seems pretty cool to me. Should add one of those sustainer pickups to it too
