Stuff they're showing off at NAMM and it actually looks pretty exciting for the most part.
Phase 99 is two phase 90 circuits that can be synced or different, run in series/parallel and script/block. La Machine is a Foxx Tone Machine Clone. The butt ugly Swollen Pickle version has the internal trims put on the outside, the wah is a Clyde McCoy Wah and the rest explains itself

Wow. They really wrecked the charm of the simple Way Huge aesthetic.

Yes because internal controls was "simple" and not "supremely annoying having to take off the back to alter vital parameters".

I meant the visual aesthetic. Externalizing the trimpots is a great decision.

Yeah this. They looked great before, but that new graphic looks like ass. Should have just put the controls on the outside and left the box alone.

That univibe has gotta be the same as that Hendrix one they had, right?

They also have the Havalina, Bass Preamp, & Fet Driver.
And this isn't the first time they've tried/used ugly art like that.

I've never been one for a Phase 90, but I wouldn't mind checking out a Phase 99. Seems like it could be pretty cool. And I do love me some Foxx Tonemachine. I used to have one, and I dug the sound, but the controls were kind of a pain being on the side of the box.

Wont get the cool aesthetic but you could build the madbean fatpants. Same thing. Though the FP has some additional controls now.

WEEE-HEH-HEEEEEEED
Glad there's a small box, gonna-be-cheap-and-available-at-GC-or-used Tone Machine clone that isn't a teensy boeshit Dano.

Hasn't Xotic been making their echoplex pre pedal for years now? EP-1? I've been looking at picking one up for a long time.

Yeah, the Xotic is based on the EP3 and has two internal dip switches for changing the character a bit.
It's around $100 new so the Dunlop will have to be pretty cheap to compete, I'd think.
The Belle Epoch has the Preamp and A LOT more to offer of course it cost more too.
If Catalinbread had put the gain control on the outside it would be perfect.

The swollen pickle is so gross looking, holy hell
Phase 99 would be right up my alley if it was a double small stone
Dual phasing is the shit though
