This thang sounds pretty good:

Really dig the aesthetic of that pedal. Want some more guitar demo vids.

I don't need any modulation but man this looks and sounds real good.

Yeah I’m liking this! The ability to mix to taste between an LFO side and a fixed resonant side (thinking of Misty Cave/Transroom/Electric Mistress filter matrix) seems really cool. Probably have to figure out how best to accomodate the 15volts they say it runs on...

Anasounds Element Spring Reverb - Spring reverb driver in a pedal, choose the size tank that works best for you... 275 euros with all three tanks (cheaper if you just get one)...

Mount it under your board and get massive tank crashes from taps on other pedals.

[fever606]

I mean, at least they have rubber grommets on the mount points... that's a little bit of shock absorption...

Where do you see €275? I looked on the website and it says €329

pretty clever reveal

[popvulture]

Looks so much like a CBA pedal, though. I don't see how that's a very smart move.

[Chankgeez]

Does it?

I don't think it does. Passing resemblance maybe? They're both pedals of approximately the same size with a similar number of controls.

I ain't see no DIP switches anywhere near this one.

Also, mo' o' this:

Same proportions, has two switches, similar knob config, metal-bezel LEDs—I think there's more than a passing resemblance. Not that there's anything wrong with going along with the pedal zeitgeist to seem attractive to customers, but I've just seen a couple other examples of this and "digitally controlled analog _______ " yada yada language popping up, and think it's a bit unoriginal.

I do think that video is cool though.

[Dandolin]

dat first vibrato segment

[Chankgeez]

You may be right.

IMO, you can only cram controls on to a pedal that size in so many ways.

CBA may be a pioneer of the "DCA _______", but there seems to be a wide market for it.

I don't think the Futura is "digitally controlled", but a BBD chorus with envelope is kinda interesting to me. Defnitely more interesting that a garden-variety chorus.

Joel hit the digitally controlled analog wave early and brilliantly, but I for one certainly don't wanna stop the run--too many tubular moves to come...it's a pretty big wave afaics, anybody without a board better duck....

dat said, I'm leaning Komorebi (dapple aside)

Maybe explicitly marketing using that phrase but digitally controlled analog circuits were a mainstay of multieffects pedals for decades. Until COSM, the drives in every Boss multi were digitally controlled analog circuits.

Re: the look - all these companies are using generic diecast enclosures and putting pretty generic hardware bits and knobs on them. That size pedal is about the smallest you can fit two footswitches on. Pot arrangements are limited by space in the enclosure as well. On a superficial level you could say that most pedals look like other pedals. The difference between any two in the same enclosure size is usually pretty minor.
