I feel kind of taken advantage of - first my 2015 CT5 that was left in the dust by cool revisions and now this "actually logical" layout two weeks after I bought an 856 with no indication it had already been overhauled. This is bad business.
Scott (aka Obama) willfully released a shit layout to scam people and buy an island in the Bahamas. Bad business. Bad (sick) guy.

Look up BossMann and Soy Boy in the search.
Read the $22 dollar thread and the boutique to boss thread.

MTA is not your friend
I've been in this game a long, long time - I was actually the chief designer on a piece of gear that probably 30% of the people here use and the other 70% want. My complaints are totally valid and worth airing.
brilliant designers are terrible businesspeople
Many of MTA's practices are Bad Business
this is a dude making pedals at his kitchen table
Yet without me (and everyone else) buying that batch, MTA wouldn't have the $$ to operate and make a newer batch.
We're the founders, the core investors, the trustees - MTA is here today because we threw down our cash.
It feels like a slap in the face that all of the johnny-come-latelys are getting twice the features that we got for our early loyalty, but we can't even upgrade our "old" (16 months old?) versions. Bad Business.
I like the 856 a lot - I've had it for almost a month now and used it every day - but the interface is a disaster.
it's the most obtuse, backwards, illogical interface I've ever encountered on a piece of gear
I still see it as a kind of cool challenge - I've never backed down from any crazy gear, and I owned a freaking Kyma system - but realizing that the entire thing was just overhauled to no longer be a confusing disaster but instead to work like something that was designed by and for a human feels like a kick in the balls when i just bought one
"oh by the way the entire thing is a huge mess so it's already been redesigned" when I bought a "scratch-n-dent" one.
There was zero mention of the overhaul
Bad Business, bro.
bad business practices
you better believe I (and many others) will think twice before ordering from the first batch so we don't get burned again when the thing is overhauled to work better and have more features for the latecomers who couldn't be bothered to buy in early.
