Me too!!! I hope you guys understand as well that I'm not taking anything away from Ken in terms of productivity and pushing forward with his incredibly brilliant effects plans... as a matter of fact, I'd like to think I'm his biggest supporter. It's not exactly as though he is doing me favors with his great engineering work. I pay him plenty of money, and he works on my projects when he has down time with his own. Not to mention we're good friends and have been enjoying the pleasure of each other's company as room mates for almost a year now.

Now, this is only my initial reaction, and purely based on my own preferences and psychological make-up, but it feels to me like I could either have a "real" Soda Meiser or Faye Sing or a "ported" version of the same pedal... i.e. the actual stand-alone stompbox, or the effect in a cartridge. I don't know anything about building effects, so I'm not sure about the way the effect would sound via a stompbox or via a cartridge connected to a core unit... I reckon that the electronics/signal are probably the same, but I also feel arguments (i.e. something like true bypass / false bypass) about "the pedal version sounds better" etc. I think maybe the vinyl versus mp3 analogy might be a little more accurate, but I don't want to piss off the builders by assuming that the sound or quality would be any different, because it probably isn't.

But it isn't all that new it is a updated version or the 70's Electra MPC guitars with built in effects. only diffs are they had no controls and were built into your guitar.

Also, I think Korg made a console like multi effect in the 80s
Still, I'm looking forward to this....again
If it doesn't pan out, c'est la devi

but who cares if it's "new"? there was "nothing new under the sun" back when Ecclesiastes was written.

I'd be much more into this if I were still in the beginning stages of building my board or if there were actual working demos. I realize that's probably not possible at this point, but I'm really excited to see this finally come to life.
