Wow. That is cool. I like the reverse. Pick dynamic control is cool too.

It sounds like it's digital control of analog trem. Any idea what the trem circuits are? Optical, VCA, something else. The really fast transitions make me thing it's some sort of VCA. Whatever it is, they're gonna sell a ton of them.

I doubt they would use vactrols, considering the price and the fact that they are probably not allowed anymore. Fet's are inconsistent and expensive. Their previous pulsar was OTA base so I can imagine that they went with that. That or simply digital. Let's wait a couple of months and the guys at FSB will have surely peaked inside :-)

EHX just loaded a "mission disc" into my brain.  Wow...

Call me crazy, but I just love "reverse" effects, no matter what kind.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were, but the EHX specs claim analog tremolo.

I've done some playing around with digitally controlled OTA and LDR based trems and you can get the sounds they've demoed there with some pretty straight forward wave forms. With the OTA's, I found that I actually had to slow down the transitions with sharp corners because it was fast enough to cause a pop.

It's a slick pedal for sure though. The interface features are really neat. It'll be really interesting to see how they put it all together.

The combination of apathy ("Another trem?!") and cheapskate ("I'm not paying that kind of money for that!") shield me!

DIY, OTOH, I'm a sucker for.

Damn you EHX!!!! I have too many of your big landscape boxes already! I can't possibly fit in another on my board.  :'(

It carries a U.S. list price of $316.73

Next...

Gotta box a few and start on Dave's Twin Peaks!

The demo video is awesome.

I don't use tremolo all that much (other than boring amp or EA  traditional trem sounds), but that video had me clambering for the credit card  ;D

The unit is quite awesome as a recording tool, given all of the options demonstrated in the video.  And with presets, it would be great live - depends how much tremolo you use in your music.

Oh man, I almost NEVER use tremolo, but I could see tons of possibilities.  Especially with the option for presets for live use.  This one might be on the short list this year.  These guys are killing it right now.

What happened to these guys? Did they recently go out and hire a bunch of audio geniuses? It seems like it's just one killer pedal after another now. If I had any spare cash I think they'd end up with all of it.

sounds and looks to me like they are making up for everything from 2000-2012. ;)
