Yeah. Holding out to see what the secondary knob functions are, there might be some craziness hidden in there.. maybe..

I guess it would be cool if you treated it as a preamp and not an 'effect'. That demo was cheese though.

^I completely agree.

The teaser is underwhelming (sound wise at least), but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Like almost all of their effects, I want it for recording and not live guitar playing. It wouldn't be particularly useful to me as a live instrument pedal unless I had some cold ass synths that needed the good juice, and even then I'd probably go with something cheaper and simpler. But as a mixing effect, This is a tool I'd love to have access to, personally.

I reckon it might be a bit more of a hit if its priced like the ob1 comp or something but i doubt it

I've never really understood the mass appeal of these types of 'tape' pedals, where it's all carefully planned and really clinical. To me that's the antithesis of tape, as opposed to something like the industrialelectric echo degrader. Just my opinion though.

Yeh really disappointing. I was intrigued by the thought tape styled modulation effects, too bad they don't sound any different from most cheesey chorus and flanger pedals

It's TGP in a box. They know who they're selling to.

Sounds like you could make some sweet country music with it. Other than that, underwhelming.
