Oops. Didn't notice the buried post on the same day under a subject talking about a completely different pedal, that just happened to mention this. Not exactly a party invitation to be late to.

I must agree with lars on this.

So, this is an amazing addition to the EHX line. Gotta get one for the upper 5th and 7th sounds. I have a micro POG for all the rest. But this is just mindblowing compactness and great for any pedalboard. I almost bought a Slammi. So glad I didn't!

 :) didn't expect you to find it, just saying that's where the conversation about it was happening if you wanted to join in.

No confirmation on it but i've seen $130 being mentioned.

I've already decided I'm buying one as soon as they come out.

I'd also like a superego. The synthy/ambient tones you can get with a combination their pedals is unbelievable.

I blame the effectology videos for feeding my GAS. My favourite product demo videos ever.

Love my superego and this should pair up nicely with it, then I just need the B9 and i'll be happy.

They are damn good videos, man knows how to show off a pedal.

Guessing in the UK we'll pay about £105 like the nano looper (think that was also $130).

Apparently that price is now confirmed on EHXs Reddit and by Bill Ruppert (demo guy) on a forum.

Whoever gets one of these, you've got to get a picture of the innards. At 30mA draw, I've got to know what they are using for the IC's, CPU and AD/DA. These types of algorithms aren't hugely complex and some of the new MCU's use very little current, but still, 30mA is tiny.

+1.  Very curious what's under the hood to keep the current draw that low.

WOW, 30 ma!?! Now I am seriously getting it. My board has outs that deliver 100mas each, so with two pedals that are at 170ma I have to do a lot of current doubling cables...
If this thing does the down and up octaves well as the micro POG, then I guess there's no need for the POG anymore...could it be possible....hm

£89 at Andertons.

http://www.andertons.co.uk/compact-pedals/pid36142/cid692/electro-harmonix-pitch-fork-polyphonic-pitch-shifter-pedal.asp (http://www.andertons.co.uk/compact-pedals/pid36142/cid692/electro-harmonix-pitch-fork-polyphonic-pitch-shifter-pedal.asp)

Pre-ordered already and also treated myself to a superego (which I have had in my sights for a while).

Can't wait!

Bollocks, I just spent that at the dentist for the pleasure of 20 minutes of being poked with sharp things and having radiation fired at my head.

Fantastic price especially for the UK, i'll certainly grab one at some point.

ay £89, I have also preordered, thats a bargain.
I already have an EXP pedal from the HOG thatll match this :)

Yep £89 is about as low as you could realistically expect (unless you are a total tight arse).

I imagine the folks on The Fretboard will still think it is 3x more expensive than it should be though  ;) ;D

Can't wait to play with my new toys!
