um... i don't know, but EHX seems to change.... a few effects before they set a new course and i don't like it very much
i mean THEORETICALLY it's amazing... but then you hear the demo and it's not even remotely amazing... not for 240$ anyway and absolutely not for me.

I'm a bit disappointed, but I think it was a hella crappy demo with terrible sound quality, so maybe there's a chance it'll be ok.

^this. the demo guitarist, equipment, and conditions could hardly have been less suited for the device. it was like trying to demo a POG using a Pignose in an Indian casino.

New demo from EHX.

The sound quality is definitely better as compared to the last demo, but I'm still just not feeling it.

the playing and the players' conceptualization is better than the first demo, but still not great. which is to say that it's an E-H demo LOL. however, from this demo i can hear that if i had three or four hours to fuck with it i could get some fun stuff out of it. i'd run it with the main and sympathetic outputs going into separate chains of (modulation)->delay->reverb so i could turn the sympathetics into clouds of ambient murk. i'm still not liking it enough to pay the MAP for it, though. if i was working and i had money to fling around, maybe.

Well at least it does sound a hell of a lot more like a sitar in this one.

It's cool, but not really usuable in most band situations. Also being able to play an actual sitar would be much cooler.

i probably wouldn't use it to "sound like a sitar" much if at all...i'd probably use it in the manner that folks use POGs, to do organ and string voicings by processing it all to hell, 12-string-esque sounds, and such. the detuning and major/minor/etc. options would make it an interesting alternative for drones/pads
