flawless demoing technique
:love: :crab:
The reverb does sound very cool but what I really want to know about that box... looks like one of those metal electrical outlet boxes but with a chain hanging out of it. I wonder if it has a guitar pickup inside or if it'd be a piezo

Industrial Hazard Sleepwalker Deluxe, which looks like a junction box + a piezo? :snax:

There was a lot of the standard NAMM tropes like that one super experimental midi controller that's supposed to change everything and no one sees after the show. Every year there's one. Same with the milquetoast overdrive tied to some guitar hero or another.

What are ya'll's winners this season? I'm between that hollowbody baritone from Squier and the Korg Wavestate.
Reverb-wise this seems to be a really interesting year. I realized i can already do most of what I want with my current pedals, but still I’m curious to know more about this things (skipping the CBA/Meris for obvious out-of-budget reasons):

RED PANDA CONTEXT 2 – the modulation knob seems to behave in a really cool way, random modulation with stable pitch is a cool feature, same with the low and high damping knobs.

PLADASK DRAUME – I have to say I knew nothing about this, but i just checked the manual and I have found a lot of stuff that I love in it. AM/random tremolo is a thing I would love to have since I already have set my current reverb to give that kind of feeling, also It's a real smart and useful feature to have a reverb that has trails but when bypassed the tails could decay faster than the real setting, so GATE bypass mode should be great.

DBA ROOMS – just want to know wtf is gong mode? Waiting for some demos. Also, I was initially hyped by the gated reverb but after i saw that brief interview I realized is not set up as I expected.

GAMECHANGER LIGHT PEDAL - i want hear what's the acoustic difference from a standard spring reverb, if it's so noticeable like they say.

Yeah, there are some killer reverbs coming out in the next few months. I'm really excited to see/potentially buy that Pladask pedal!

$199 8bit synth focused on live performance/sequencing, about $160 if you back it on kickstarter. :omg: :omg: :omg:

Well damn. I figured that would be the cheaper option between that and the Light Pedal. It might still be, which doesn't bode well for my reverb section.
