I’ll have one to demo at Chicago Music Exchange on 10 August. Have gotten a lot of positive feedback (no pun intended) and it looks like this might happen.

So what's the deal on this and why was the OG effect so special? Or is this a case of 'coveted effect from 15 years ago -> Mythology continues -> It's 15 years later and the rest of the world caught up?'

I'm not being patronizing, I'm genuinely curious. Yes, I know I can google, but I'd rather get anecdotes from people who have been into gear longer than I have (and from people who post specifically here).

I'm building an Alexander board after having slept on it for like 5 years (stupid me). Have a Colour Theory and Syntax Error coming in this week. Sourcing for a marshmallow. That leaves me with one more midi spot in that 4 midi controller. I can't rationalize another delay or reverb, so either this might take the spot OR I'll see what comes out down the line.

And then when I had a Clusterflux I very rarely used the sample and hold waveform. Still, I have a deep soft spot in my heart for this pedal and would love to see an homage to it on the market.

WOW. I AM TRIGGERED. CYBER BULLY OF THE WEEK! I did read fucking thread :lol: :lol: :lol: . I based what I wrote specifically on that response (15 years blah blah Sharky is a soy boy). I'm was soliciting for others to chime in.
NSFW: show
In case it's not adamantly clear, I am saying this very much in jest right now :lol:
Like, copilot (among many others) does sample and hold waveforms. I have an ADD delay that uses a flicker light to emulate 'random'. So I'm seeing technology/ideas have just caught up to it but... (per below).

I do too now, even just for the warp function and midi.

Also, FUCK IT! Who here would be in? I'm not sure how many people would have to "sign" to get there to be a run? I'll start.

Who else? I'll keep the list. Do you think 30 is too little?

I don't think we can harass them into it but I'd be into trying one.

Tons of people have said they will buy one. It would be easy money for at least the first 100 units based on the original product's hype at this point. I get the vibe that dude just doesn't want to add it to his product line. Or its a long drawn out "maybe you'll get it maybe you wont..." to build more intrigue.

I'm not trying to harass or anything (this isn't like a LET'S MAKE A PETITION thing). I'm just trying to put a number here in the thread. Not going to PM or E-mail or anything. I did not read it was a product line issue, rather, an interest one. So if there is a list, in a non-invasive place like ILF, that would show the aforementioned interest. It's one thing for people to say in passing, it's another to have a quantifiable list (which I get is not a commitment thing... having a name like "$harkT000tth said he would get one" does not inspire manufacturer confidence :lol: ).

Yeah the originals were really cool at the time because "bonkers"/"out there" guitar pedals were a lot less interesting. And they're rarely worked, which added to the mystique.

It's not dissimilar to Schumann's PLL in that aspect
good deals are here.
