Jamie doesn't love us anymore (or he's never really loved us).
The truth is that EQD are way too big for ILF. They've outgrown us. We still love 'em though.

yeah, it was good while it lasted, babe
'tis a pattern to be expected, i suppose
i will still maintain my general principle from early on of trying to activate loyalty to active ILFers
Yeah, I think this one is lacking for me. But it could also be that I can’t handle that dude’s demos either. I feel kind of bad saying it, but they are just not my jam at all and I never use them as a reference for whether I dig a pedal or not. Sorry Pedal of the Day dude.

It certainly nails that vibrating plastic sound you get from cranked micro amps

srsly tho - there's nothing wrong with the concept of parallel dirt; not even with paralleling fuzz and overdrive
but i think that, the more varied the circuits you're paralleling, the more difficult it gets to produce congruent results
ie., this case in point - while it might be possible to play in a way that made each individual circuit sound it's best and "good"
the playing techniques required to achieve that goal are so variant that it's basically impossible to make both sound good at the same time and the unfortunate result is...bad
So far, this seems a bit like a more hi-fi Blooper...
I like the smooth glitch/stutter stuff the most from the 20+ minutes I've heard.
Why do we keep doing this?
Getting down to work on blooper four years ago kicked off a pretty wild chapter for us. It was so much bigger than anything we’d attempted before, and there were so many parts we had to get right. MOOD emerged from that process almost by necessity: It was an outlet for us, compared to blooper’s neediness. It was a pedal that didn’t have to be anything in particular, it just had to be fun.
Habit is the final member of that family, and the most ambitious.
We’re calling Habit a musical sketchpad, and it’s probably the best image to start wrapping your head around it. It lets you capture that sensation of absently doodling in a notebook and watching an image emerge. It’s a delay that lets you break away from the present moment, and create echoes of the past instead. Or both at once. It does this by recording every sound that goes into the pedal, so you can revisit them later. You can collect sounds you made 2 minutes ago and turn them into loops, or harmonize along with old playing, or build impossible echo patterns.
Sounds like a hi-fi version of the old boss DSD/DD/RV peds that make glitchy loops when you crank the feedback and mess with the delay time
I quite like some of those stuttery sounds but it's a very tough sell at that price.

No Idea. I just hope they bounce back and come up with something wild again. Aside from the Astral Destiny all they came up with has been a slightly updated version of the Afterneath, a tubscreamer and a muff. I guess I shouldn't expect them to come up with 5 new sick ground breaking new peddles year after year.

I've been looking for a Mood for a while, but no-one has stock so I talked myself out of it in time to buy a Habit, should be here tomorrow.
