No real details yet, but they've been posting teasers about old school tape flange and double-tracking and stuff, so it's somewhere in that ballpark.

Dual bypass switches, likely stereo in/out or expression capability based on the four jacks at the top. Wobble knob, three-way switch with at least "Invert" and "Bounce," which calls to mind recording on a four-track (to me anyway).

Not frothing at the mouth here, but definitely curious. They're having one of their "Social" events Saturday, so it will probably be unveiled then.

From that picture alone I'd be all hyped up on a fully fledged lofi capable looper a la the el Cap, but if they keep posting stuff about flange/double tracking I won't get my hopes up.

that would be a neat trick to pull off :joy: maybe it just loops and deteriorates the sound quality.

Me too, for the most part. But...

if there's the possibility the pedal will actually behave and can be manipulated like a dude with a reel to reel, this mother fucker just got very interesting indeed.

We've talked about this before guys... Chorus, Flange and Delay all come from Tape manipulation...

The edge of the Tape Reel is called the Flange and all...

I need this in my life...

:lol:

I have 3 Reel to Reels in hope of making a '50s style Electro Concrete Music Studio...

The Flanging is easy but less so is the lining all 3 up 10 feet apart each and making a stupid long multi-tap Tape Delay...
