Mind blowing?
Another organ ped?
Just bits of the pog?

I'd kinda be interested if it had a decent rotary function...but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone heard this fucker yet?

’cited. I wonder if vibrato depth is an option. Also wonder how many octaves. Organizer response.

Pretty much what I thought.
It will be interesting to see what options they'll offer as far as octaves and modulation goes.
I assume it will be the same tracking technology as the POG.

When someone tells you you're about to have your mind blown it rarely happens, but I might be into this....

I'm expecting it to sound like an Organizer, but off in some way.

On the plus side at least it isn't another double wide pedal.

This.

And this.

Glad to see their technologies are coming closer to up to par with people like EQD, who have made an organ pedal half the size of EHX's half sized pedal.
All jokes aside, I am interested to see how it differs from things like the Organizer, or other regular pitch shifters. If they do something similar to the Ravish Sitar, we might be in for a treat.

Kind of weird seeing the big dogs like EHX trying to keep up with/ripping off the smaller companies (if Earthquaker can still be called small, I guess smaller will suffice) but also just goes to show how much EQD is killing it. And they really are.

The grave keeps getting deeper and deeper. It's a shame, though, because every once in a while they release a gem. Freeze, POG, Super Ego.

I'm waiting for the B9/benign tumor joke from Behndy.

I'm a bit intrigued, gotta say. If it's the same features as the organiser then that's another black mark against them in my books, if it does something unique then it could be cool.

But... EHX started the whole organ octaver thing with the Pog & Hog, then added detune on the Pog 2 to take it further before the Organizer even came out... which if anything was inspired by EHX IMO so they're just expanding on their own original idea and selling point. I agree they rip on popular stuff but I don't think this is so much (some of their demo's even had settings for a B9 sound if I recall correctly).

I could be in to this depending on how it goes and what features/controls it offers.

While we don't know if it'll be cool or not, one thing we can be sure of is it'll be really really ugly.
