I'm pretty sure he just thought it was such a fiddlely pedal that it would be better aimed at the desktop crowd.

That's my thinking too. Definitely more for the experimental crowd than just your average gigging musician.

Yeah, the noise was to do with the glitching and some artifacts he couldn't get rid of. I'm glad he released it though, because it is super rad.

Haven't had issues with popping switches in many years. And yeah it's more just because it makes more sense as something you use with your hands a lot. It's ok-ish as a set-and-forget thing that your turn on and off, but that's not really what the features are built with in mind. It's a tweaker's effect, most def.

Eventually, I'll turn it back to a stompswitch version (I can't with these boards). It'll be a silent stomp, too, with a relay. Downside is it'll probably have to be a larger enclosure. There's a fuckton of controls and leds. 10 pots (!!!), 2 switches, 10 leds. The thing with designing something with a stompswitch is that the stompswitch can't be too close to, well, anything else! You can't squeeze knobs and stuff too tightly together for a pedal built around the idea of frequently tweaking. So yeah, it's gonna be really hard to keep it in this size enclosure with a stomp.

Also, yes to $275.

Any new features planned if you do move to a bigger enclosure? Because then I might have to wait. :snax:

whoops :facepalm:

Keeping it at the hands for altering loops and a bypass looper at the feet would be awesome. Just basically anything including it would be awesome.

Unlikely. Feature creep is a great way to make things take even longer than they have. :) And the bigger enclosure version probably won't be even next year.

I just want to sell many of these small-enclosure ones now. Get those out there.

The next "new pedal" probably won't have anything to do with anti nautilus or looping/glitch in general. I've got my eyes set on a weird ringmod and dronebox instead.

Seconded. :joy:

I don't mind the toggle switch if it means a smaller enclosure.
