I didn't consider myself part of the space echo audience, but hot dog I'm pretty excited to see that one launch. Will I actually buy one is a different story entirely, but I definitely am having the GAS.

Nux throwing in a bid to take over the space echo game - it's like Antz jumping the release date on A Bug's Life - it's 1998 all over again!
I already have and love my Boss RE-20. But if there are some additional features on the RE-2,
then I'd be sorely tempted to try or buy one.
The wow/flutter thing could be cool (depending on implementation), but I'd hope for more
delay time and it having at least as many expression control options if not more.
If they keep the preamp and the wow/flutter is well-done I'm going to have a hard time not buying it at least as a backup.
There's a long delay mode on the RE-20, are you hoping for more delay than that? What would you like to see for expanded expression pedal control?

Nux have upped their game over their Tape core foray, but will it be enough to fend off the no-longer-sleeping giant?
Unsurprisingly maybe, but I'm a Nux fan, I do dig the Tape Core. (and, actually, pretty much all of the "core" ones I have.)
Would be nice if this had a less shitty control app and let you get under the hood and fully freaky.

Pendulum is based on a highly modified Earth Sound Research Graphic Fuzz. Pretty sure Oscix is more squarely in the Fuzz Factory realm.
No idea on the differences in the sounds they can produce. I'm sure they both sound great.

Well, if my Dirt Halo is any indication of what the ESR can be pushed to do, pretty sure I wanna Pendulum.

There was a lot of speculation about Cherry Audio's new release and what 'dawn of rack' meant. Everyone was guessing it'd be a Moog modular or a Roland, but I have to say that getting Moog's rack effects is much better. (there are already so many VST emulators of those products) This package comes with a ring modulator, the 12-stage rack phaser, vocoder, EQs, and more.
...some follow-up thoughts after downloading the demo:
The factory banks are brilliant, albeit a bit limited. More factory sounds as a jumping point would've been appreciated. There are faux trem & faux phaser sounds in nearly all of the individual effects. RM trem/vibe is one of my absolute favorites and this delivers in that area without question. The String Filter is quite nice for color. I just used it at the end of the chain behind a pitch-shifting delay and the results were great.
Cons: it appears everything is an individual effect. The photos leads you to think you're getting a rack system, but to do that you'd need to place these in a third-party host. (Nembrini & Blue Cat make these.) Running 6 of these independently, instead of a singular plugin will certainly lead to more taxation on your CPU. Also, none of their effects or synths have a randomization function, which would really put some of these offerings over-the-top.
....there's no depth control. The effects are lovely, but this is an easy fix and it seems odd they didn't include it in the V1.
(Below is supposed to be a video of the Alexander Fever Pitch, for when the ILF is showing the youtube in the firefox)
I just wish I could get the Freakshow Dumpster Fire in a compact stereo pedal with low latency. Cursory viewing of some of the demos of the Fever Pitch don't really do much for me

Didn't you try the pendulum in the tourbox?

I don't remember. I don't think I actually got to play with the tourbox pedals.
