If I die or go bankrupt, they'll become limited-run. ;)

But the Pocket Arcade will be standard range! It might be the best pedal I've ever made.

Better than the Phantom Arcade?
I though the Phantom Arcade would have more function... I'm I wrong?

Welllll, we've got to factor in points for how compact the Pocket Arcade is! :)*

The Phantom Arcade does have more function!
--It has the 1-Up knob...to reduce octave up sustain (mode 1) for funky pop-in tones.
--It has the Glitch knob...to blend out the intensity of the glitch-octave-down (mode 2)...(On the Pocket, you can mimic this control with most guitars' on-board Tone knobs.)
--It also allows you hands-free switching (footswitching) between modes 1, 2, and 3. (Mode 4 is toggle switchable.)

A bonus of the Pocket Arcade is one added mode.
--The Turbo toggle can be used in two modes. (With the Phantom Arcade, the Turbo mode only works in mode three...with the Pocket, you can also use the Tubro toggle with the Lo-Glitch mode (adding more glitch and oscillation).

Pocket Arcade modes.

1) Hi-Ring (Toggle)
Cleanish, odd octave up, especially strong above 12th fret, with ring mod artifacts. Hi-Score knob for trimming highs, or sucking em all out.

2) Lo-Glitch (Toggle)
Crazy octave down, glitch, intense/broken ring mod tones. (Blend out intensity with your guitar's Tone knob).

3) Oct-Up Fuzz (Hi-Ring + Lo-Glitch Toggles)
Octave up fuzz, Hi-Score knob for trimming highs and making it smoother/darker.

4) Oscillating Lo-Glitch (Lo-Glitch Toggle + Turbo Toggle)
Adds some extra weirdness and oscillation to the Lo-Glitch mode. Level and Turbo knobs.

5) Turbo Mode (Hi-Ring + Lo-Glitch + Turbo Toggles)
Insanity! High gain filtered oscillating fuzz, glitches, drones, and more! Highly interactive and indescribably nutty fun!

Yes, FIVE modes!
All analog multieffect...from unique-and-usable ring mod tones, to octaves, to glitch, to fuzzes, oscillation, to filtered madness. A good 4-5 pedals packed into one tiny enclosure.
