Pictures look like a computer mock-up. No price.

Still it looks cool.

They've also got an upcoming step sequencer that looks cool, too.

Sorry, dude, though I bet a Moog Phaser would be way more flexible and a whole lot cheaper.

They make some cool stuff, but it does tend to be pretty expensive here in the U.S. and I think the only place you can get the stuff is Big City Music.

Yeah, all the Mode Machines stuff seems cool.

The Moog phaser may be more flexible, but to my ears the Krautrock Phaser sounds better. IDK?

I don't really need another phaser anyway.
