This is awesome!

If I could only have one pedal, the colour box would be it! Right now I have one running as a mic pre into a zoom digital mixer. Passes 48v phantom to the Blue microphone! It sounds so good and clear!

Shows this Yamaha as a controller, then as a General MIDI sound module sequenced by Deluge

Uhhā¦ This feels like AI or an April fools joke. Maybe even AI doing an April fools joke.

Yeah, I notice some of them are the highly sought after rarities of the Boss world. Such a roland move. Reissue the OG Slow Gear or DF-2? Nah. Letās make a plug out version.

Itās a shame that Roland is so opposed to their hardware history but I have to assume that over the last 60 years or whatever they learned that producing hardware is like slowly bleeding out in some snowy field in an action thriller.
At any rate Iād even rather see them make some mini pedals or something than to do plugins masquerading as a stompbox but whatever, I guess thatās why a market exists, itās just a shame that pedals have also become another status symbol and hollowed out cove in that market for highway robbers to commit highway robbery.

Yeah, I thought the Waza line was one of the coolest things theyāve done in a while.

Iām not opposed to nostalgia farming, I just donāt like it when it appears in the form of software and then particularly software masquerading as hardware. Probably the last person who still feels that way with how committed people are to spending money on more plug ins.
Iām not arguing that plugins are convenient or that they canāt sound good but I just prefer to own something tangible. Maybe thatās not even exactly it but itās as clearly as Iām able to articulate the feeling I get when sinking money into anything which is 100% software. No hardware interface, no external control, just a program. Even streaming services feel this way to me honestly.

For me, itās because Iāve had multiple instances of software stop working due to compatibility issues. Hardware can still break ofc, but it tends to be less fragile
(And non-software Boss pedals will outlive us all, along with Twinkies, cockroaches, and Keith Richards)

A TU-3 wouldāve made this kinda tempting.

It still makes me feel like Iām paying to borrow an idea. At least paying for somebodyās cool idea used to come in a physical form which you physically owned. A lot of things now require giving a company all of your personal information and then paying full price just to use an idea.
I just have zero interest in sinking all my money into the idea of ownership when the products are nearly intangible. Didnāt pay your pedal bill this month? Now you have a paperweight.
Didnāt pay your adobe subscription? Now you have a shortcut icon.

Iām not as hardline as this. I think software is worth paying for, I donāt see a difference between buying a movie on bluray vs a digital copy, etc. But this
Is bullshit. If I bought it, I bought it. I donāt wanna pay to rent my music tools

I have some flexibility in the medium, but ownership should be ownership. I donāt want my guitar strings to stop working because I didnāt make my monthly tuning bill payment by the due date.

Itās not a subscription, though, right? It comes with 8 pedals installed, you get 8 more for registering, it holds up to 16, and they stay on thereā¦ forever? You donāt even need to install Roland Cloud this time.
Theyāll probably release more, and who knows how theyāll be sold. But 16 classic pedals modeled with Rolandās kind of legendary DSP on one $250 stomp and no subscription seemsā¦ kind of amazing to me?
