The macro knob on this is really cool

This one looks interesting.

Looks like a Domino Pedal. :slight_smile:

Looks pretty interesting. $380 is nothing to sneeze at but it comes in a little under what I thought it would cost.

The video has a brief flash and voiceover mention of “electronics”, but all the sounds are guitar.

I’m assuming the macro knob just morphs between two presets? But having it, and connecting it to the expression pedal input, is a good idea. As is including a formant filter. And the design is attractive.

From the website-
“For explorers and casual tweakers…”

I’ve always thought the casual tweaker demographic was underserved so I’m glad to see companies stepping up.

Very TE-ish. Looks nice.

I like resonant/filter reverbs. Wanted the Lastgasp Misty Cave for a while. Not sure if I’d use a monk reverb too often but wouldn’t say no to having one in the studio!

Love the design aesthetic. It sounds pretty good, but not mind blowing.

But it’s hard to feel sympathetic for a musical instrument company that has a shop with one unreleased pedal and already four clothing items.

For some reason it rubs me the wrong way.

Is there a manual posted anywhere for this? It’s a little raw to pre-order this without knowing how midi implementation works. This would fill a gap in my setup so I’m definitely interested, though probably not at the 480 post preorder price.

“I only tweak on weekends…and the occasional Tuesday. I mean, Mondays too but rarely! Sure, I also sometimes tweak on whatever day of the week it is but only if I’m up against a deadline…”

This pedal was share in another thread and got me really excited.
It looks fantastic and i like the design choices knob/ bottom a lot.
But I’m a little concerned that the Monk effect will be too strong a feature and if not used, it’s “just” another reverb/delay pedal.
Would love to hear some examples of the pedal in use with synths, drum machines and human voice(!!).

It’s around 400 euro on preorder where I live so approx a 80 euro off the expected price but it won’t ship until February 2026.

I’m getting Brionvega and Dieter Rams vibes from this.
