The delay is € 329 for EU citizens, € 276,47 for those outside of it, so roughly $400, includes shipping and power supply. The filter is € 20 more than the delay. They don't seem to have any dealers yet.

Damn, I got some grounding problem, this recording sounds awful. But I had lots of fun experimenting with this awesome pedal.

Wow, pretty awesome, phantasmagorovich. Some nice sounds you were getting there.

That infrared CV controller seems to work well.

Thanks you! It was pretty easy to coax these sounds out of it and I think I've only scratched the surface so far. I haven't had the time to really learn it.

Yup, that's definitely an awesome idea. The only trouble is that it works well starting from a certain distance. The first four or five centimeters above the controller work as full power, only when you move your foot farther up it starts working. That means it's almost impossible to use standing up. I guess it was meant to be a hand controller. I was thinking that building a stand would be an option if you want to use it like a Wah.

Read the manual now, apparently there's a trimpot, maybe that will help. I couldn't find out, if the trim affects this problem, or if it makes the CV send less than +9V-9V. I'll experiment after work.

Yeah, hopefully you'll be able to adjust it so you can use it as a foot controller.

I definitely like the idea of IR controllers. You can do some neat stuff with them. Like this:

Seems like you've got some fun times ahead of you, phantasmagorovich.
