If you missed out (or forgot) about the release of the Outward V2, the pre-order page for the next batch(es) is now live. It should be available for a while, if you can manage to wait.
I wonder which, My bet is on all of their dsp stuff like the pyramids and avalanche run. The Organizer would be cool in euro tho.

I wonder how well the Sea Machine could do as a Euro unit. It'd be cool if they'd sell some software stuff---I'd love to put a Transmisser module in VCV Rack.

Looks cool--waiting for the Grayscale expansion providing cv control over the other four parameters

I was an early adopter of the Spira (not great on its own, but sounds amazing with some granular delay & modulation). This should be solid as well.

I asked how it handles detuned guitars and they said it handles everything down through basses. I think that's why it has a full range of pitch shift in semitones in some modes. You can use the Taurus setting on a normal bass and get those tones without pitch shift.

Every time I think I am close to not purchasing anything ever again . . . . . Let's see if it replaces the Ricochet I use for this purpose. Would be nice if they had put in a bass amp/cab sim option for direct recording.

I've been using a TC Sub 'n' Up for years after starting with EHX pedals for my fake bass sound. This seems cool but its bigger than the TC, uglier, and I don't think it will actually sound better. Might have to try it just to be sure though.

The Mod11 has to be the ugliest EHX offering to date. When I first saw this, I thought I was looking at a Caline pedal.
Mod 11 does seem interesting to me though as it probably won't be too expensive, is small, has a seemingly decent sounding harmonic tremolo mode and could scratch almost all my other modulation itches as well when I get them for a while, as most forms of modulation usually bore the living shit out of me after a period of time because their lfo-based nature just gets so predictable.

When I see the Blurst, I think, "Ehhh, that's just not for me." It's unappetizing, but it doesn't shock me anymore. Remember I'm in the US and I see bad design all the time---everywhere (retail signage, print ads, industrial products, et cetera). I've built up an immunity to it.
When I saw the Mod11, a bunch of expletives popped into my head. The Mod11 is stunningly gross---it genuinely blows my mind that someone is making a living off work like that.

yeah, seriously...i'm pretty anal-retentive, and it drives me batshit when i see things like poorly-kerned text on a display poster. why have Yankee designs been such shite since the dreaded neon-color-block days of the mid-80s?
