Solid rosewood used to be a thing 20-30 years ago but fell off a bit. Roasted maple seems to be the thing these days. Still curious to try a full rosewood.
Mod shop, which is their build a bear custom online builder. So between a normal American and a full custom. Generally around $1600-1800
The Sunbox has been in development for over a year, but there's been no commitment to specs or a price. It's described as generative, polyphonic, and Axoloti-based.
My first thought was that it looks like a Mood but more controllable.
Then I realized the looper doesn't seem to do anything weird and it looks like pretty straightforward reverb.
I guess the interesting thing is the 11 granular effects and I'll be curious how they sound.

innterestesting - how much control is exposed to midi?
a) every knob
b) every knob + stuff that's under the hood
c) just clock
d) cookies

They said a manual is coming soon. Weird they offer no refunds on pre orders but won't let you see what it can really do ahead of time.

I didn't know Harmony was making guitars (or revamping the Silhouette) in the USA, but even at 1K this looks pretty alright (gold foils, hard tail & a 12-inch radius)
I mean, it's no Squier Mini Jaguar for around $149, but what even is?

I got super pumped for this, but then in the clip, I was a little underwhelmed as I don't really hear anything that's to far outside of what other pedals are already doing. I guess it's cool that you get so many different types of effect in this one box, and if you didn't already have a bunch of weird glitchy pedals this could certainly scratch an itch. I just thought they might have pushed the envelope a bit further with this one. I guess I should just wait to hear a longer demo before passing judgement.

This looks like what I wished the Blooper could’ve been with a ton of granular effects built in, plus some MOOD thrown in. You can change the order of effects/loops to print or not which is cool. I’m hoping the looper and sync to MIDI. Looks awesome, preordered.

These are being made by Heritage and they're fucking NICE, much better quality than the originals (of which I own a few!). I'm gonna get around to ordering one sooner or later.

The best thing about the microcosm is that it doesn't have side jacks

I love the sounds and options on the pedal. For me though, I know I won’t use it. I’ll play it for 15 minutes, get bored and sell it. Sigh. I have issues. So, I’ll pass for now but looks and sounds killer.
