So today's launch day, has anyone pulled the trigger yet?

A few dude I know already ordered, someone was saying theirs should be here early next week. Looks sick, I wish I got along w pedals w lots of options.

Mine arrives Wednesday. I'll try to have a video next weekendish.

I ordered from Rogue Guitar Shop (as did ruiner I think?) but I haven't heard anything about shipping yet.

I'd rather have nine $50 delay pedals than one $450 delay pedal. Imagine how much delay you could get out of nine delays... a lot more than 1.2 seconds.

Plus you could run up to nine delay modes at once and that is drugs.

I imagine you're half-joking, but I tried to do that years ago, and unfortunately effects just cancel each other out at a certain point.

ex: about 5 reverbs = insane sustain, washout
after that, you're effectively negating the weaker effects, or you're adding subtleties that could only be measured by machines, not by the human ear

ex: 2 Moog phasers = lush, delightful modulation
3 Moog phasers = you can barely tell there's a third one there

Here's an actual example, though, of 16 delays in series. ---Basically it sounds like about 3-5 pedals (delay/rev/delay, or delay/delay/rev or delay x 5, or rev/delay/delay/rev).

Yes, chaining 9 delays is a joke and I agree with your assessments. I hope all who acquire Echosystem find heretofore unknown delights.

You don't stack that many effects IN SERIES into 1 (or even 2) amps. I'd get the 9 $50 delays, but I only have 5 amps.

I'd buy a calculator, a spectrograph, and some dehydrated ice cream, before I'd buy 9 amps.

Finally, a little bit of Whisky & Stutter.

I don't know why, but the more demos there are of this, the less interested I become.
Honestly, I've never been a "delay machine" kind of guy, but something about this turns me off even more?
Maybe it's just that the difference between the cheapies and the expensive pedals is getting so indistinguishable that I just can't get excited about that stuff, anymore and I'm getting more into the idea that I should just buy a rack effect that's been this good for probably 20+ years, does tons more stuff, and is probably close to the same price as a new one of these?

Happy to do a video of mine if people have specific things they wanna hear. A comprehensive demo would be...long.
