Seems like a neat offering!  Would be cool to see a bit more of a demo.

That is pretty awesome!! Would definitely fun to play around with.
But I can't get past his blacked out "Where's Waldo" outfit. It's like he's Home Invasion Waldo. Lol.

Pretty nifty and fun as well as useful tool for sure. A blessing for lonely musos and bedroom creativity. That's a massive market me thinks and I'd like one too.
As long as I don't have to wear a black beany...

That made me laugh for sure....

Me too. This would be great for solo church worship leaders....

That is pretty slick.

Ever get the impression (with the cool things coming out of Digitech and EHX as of late) that they've gone "Hey, DIYs gonna DIY, so let's build something they can't DIY."?

That's possible although they are large enough that I wonder how much DIY even affects their bottom line.

I wonder if they are doing it to differentiate from the other boutiquers, most of whom can't do this either.  A lot of folks like their boutique overdrives and I suspect that has cut into sales for Digitech (maybe not EHX).  But this stuff is different and they are competing more against the other big companies.

I have no idea if that is accurate; it's just a thought.

It's hard to say how stuff like this will contribute to music over the course of time. It reminds me of when Garageband came out. I worked with a guy who was telling me about it and he was saying that it was going to completely change music because anyone, regardless of musical ability, was going to be able to make amazing music. In reality, it's a tool that gives musical people access to making amazing music.

This pedal looks pretty cool in some ways. It could provide some really good creative sparks, or it could be just a lot of the same stuff over and over again. I'd like to hear what it does with different kinds of stuff thrown at it. I also wonder if you're stuck with those drum sounds or if you can select different kits. It wouldn't matter much for just messing around songwriting etc., but I find drum samples to get old quick.

I'm not meaning to sound so negative. This kind of technology has tons of potential. I'm just wondering how it will play out.
