The EchoFlanger does exist as they Polychorus (PolyFlange, EchoFlanger & Polychorus were all the same thing) just... not the same design any more but the chips the original used are goneee, no chance of it coming back as it was, just have to cross fingers for 'as good enough'.
The Attack Decay they got asked about a few years back about and said no but who knows, there's been a constant interest and a slight resurgence over the the past few years for it. Surprised they haven't really brought it back in a digital form.
Never compared the Vintage vs Reissue Graphic, bit odd they changed it if they did.
Those old percussions like the Panic button were cool, they need to bring back the whole range along with the sequencer counterparts. I near enough cloned the panic button, just never got round to finishing it

why russian? Other than basically being made out of tanks... they do still make tubes there. Always wanted to try the Sovtek English Mistress but there's only a handful in existence.

Dude, this lint is pretty good... it's got several different colours in it and there's enough to stuff at least a small pillow.
Ahh I don't want a custom art one, that's too personal, you don't touch a man's custom art.

Kind of the point of the thread before it got massively side tracked, what we might like to see as recent trends show some old rare stuff isn't out of the question still and what inside word might be.
Still, RTG & Hot tubes is a good start.
9V electric mistress using modern chips would be sweeet and do-able.

That and I just love them, I've heard lots of clones of the muffs and the problem is that they are based one on person's favorite one of a group of them to make a ubber bland one, they were cheap and funky and made out of recycled tanks no one will ever match that. Also their Small Stone ripped on any of the new versions or they 70's ones, they are loud and big and syrupy

and that is why.

PS: Mike Matthews is on record saying v7 muffs weren't actually made from recycled tanks. It's urban myth and folklore.
They were made at a plant that had been used for military contracting; so yeah surplus military parts were used, but were limited to the electronics inside...
The heavy ass enclosures would have been a lot heavier (and likely radioactive), had they really been made from "recycled tanks"

But would a radioactive fuzz be a bad thing really? In theory...

I'd buy a fuzz that sounds like a nuclear meltdown
does the Geiger Counter have that covered?
AND I JUST SAW THE KNOCKOUT HAS BEEN REISSUED AS WELL WTF WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Geiger Counter wouldn't stack well with a radioactive Muff
anyway... I want them to PROPERLY reissue stuff in RI format. The size is great and practical, but they need to do the innards right, dammit

Anyway, guys, hot tubes? Any 70s/80s EHX you wanna see make a come back?
It has a 3PDT but the way its wired is weird - there is a small cap always in the bypassed signal. Super easy fix (maybe they've changed it now?).
I get frustrated with ehx because it always feels like I'm so close to loving everything they make but no. Despite that I still think they are one of the most progressive and exciting companies out there.
But mostly I'm just trying to get Behndy to sleep with me.

Should add that the hot tubes is an awesome pedal (on topic, wtf?), great to see a reissue.
