when i saw that link i thought it said "Otamatone" and thought "is Chase Bliss getting into toys now?" well, they're all toys, aren't they?

[coldbrightsunlight]

I think this every time I see it

Every time

[cantremember]

I know a lot guess into building and developing these pedal but damn! $900 is a hard pass for me.

[dubkitty]

nine WHAT? for 900 clams it should play my parts for me while i enjoy an adult beverage.

[Dandolin]

well, i appreciate the continuing flood of pricy verbs and granuglitchoids for turning me off. a little more quiet will be nice.

[Glenouille]

Asking myself "if I was given $900 right now, would I spend it all on a single pedal or would I buy a few?" I could buy several seriously cool reverb pedals with that.

[dubkitty]

i would just buy used Lexicon rackmounts for $100 each.

[Muse FTW]

Man, I've been so hyped for this pedal since it was announced but $900 is fucking crazy. I can get the new graphics card I've been after (whenever it's available) for LESS!

I'm well into the CBA/Meris ecosystem and even have the Preamp MK2 on my board, but this is gonna take some convincing.

The Lexicon 224 UAD plugin is like $350. Depends on whether the pedalboard format and fancy faders are worth an extra $550 to you, I guess.

For $900 I'd rather have 40 Metal Zones

It's even less if you wait for their sales where you can bundle other plug-ins with it.

if u haggle u can get 41

[dubkitty]

you can get a used Lexicon 500 for $100 online. everything i buy in the way of rackmount gear is obsolescent and/or "well-loved." i'm looking at wackety-ass Ibanez units from the 1980s...the Harmonics Delay is absolutely batshit in the nicest way. i won't pay $900 for a modern multi-FX processor when that same amount could buy me a couple of Squiers or a troika of Tagimas.

[manymanyhaha]

While celebrating a $900 reverb pedal, let us also not forget to celebrate Teenage Engineering for a $600 bluetooth speaker/radio, mkay?

[Dandolin]

yes, absolutely
the hype hell was worth it
