Maybe a stupid question, but is that 100% wet? Or did they add a little bit of dry themselves on the recording?
Congrats again by the way
Reviews start to appear, the pedal will be there soon I guess !

Depending on what your slamming into it, you can get a little bit of bleed from your dry. when I was demoing it at NAMM the Internet overdrive bled through a bit, but something much higher gain, such as the She Fuzz did not.... WEIRD.

this pedal is a really neat little idea!
a couple of questions - the guitarmoderne article says it remembers up to 8 ''kills'', presumably within a certain timeframe, ie not remembering them from a minute ago etc?
so how does it loop them? how does it know where to start and stop the looping sequence? is it measuring non-kill space after the last kill until you hit the recall?
would be nice to see a demo over a beat to see how easy it is to get the 'loop' in sync
ok, that was all 1 question really, the other is about the 'clicks', you are very possibly correct that it is better with them, but if it were possible then i think it would be nice to have the option of a switch between click and no-click with the gentler slope.
so you can switch between the more lo-fi glitch feel, and a cleaner one that isnt adding anything extra to the sound, just taking away

FINALLY got the first batch built and programmed, and boxed and everything. We might be shipping these before I even get to the demo, UGH. So much video to shoot!!

But I don't really care. Rad pedal is rad.
Shouldn't be tough at all with a real drummer.

The buffer is reset every time you start a new pattern, so you tap one in, hit the "rekill" and it loops. You turn off the rekill and the next tap of the kil switch begins a new pattern. And It'll hold more than 8, for sure. Kind of a lot.

The loop starts with your first kill, and stops when you hit the rekill.

Yep!

It just depends on your foot rhythm. Or hands, or however you hit those switches.

Probably not in this package/price point.
Shooting demo today, barring any disasters.

Goddammit, spit out my coffee all over my keyboard at "OH NO IT'S NOT ANALOGUE, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"
But this thing is seriously cool. I can see a few uses for it already in songs that I'm doing.

I like the way it sounds quadrupled. Things like the slicer can sound kinda weird when they get sped up, but im guessing the imprecise nature of the tempo is what makes it sound cooler to me. "More natural" is a dumb description but fits my explination.
