To be revealed in less than half an hour:
Hmm, COMpadre, maybe it’s a COMpressor? If so, interesting.
Side note: I’ve been having troubles with my internet connection, so I waited an exorbitant amount of time for that image to get clearer! Then I realized it was intentionally fuzzy. Oi.
Haha. Yep. COMPadre even 
good grief, yeah. That’s the level where my brain is working right now!
Does it come in a blurred out case ? That would be special, particularly if it comes with a blurred out sound.
Where? Link please ![]()
Facebook Live, but probably on their site at the same time. Here’s the FB link to their page: https://m.facebook.com/strymon/
Edit: Confirmed as happening at both:

Edit 2: FB video is live now with a countdown
COMpressor
ExpANDER almost
Those announcement videos are great, because he goes over all the knobs and what not, but they do drag out. I forget that you usually have to wait till later for a decent synth demo.
sidechain?
Doesn’t seem so. Just watched the whole video. Seems very guitar oriented but that’s no bad thing from my pov
I wonder how this will COMPare to the Empress Compressor MKII. I think I’m holding out for the Empress… more controls, visual monitor, side-chain input, etc. I also already have a Riverside, and so some of the bonus features here are already provided by that (clean boost, volume expression pedal input, etc.). Still interesting, and definitely has some quality of life updates from the OB1.
