NAMM leaks, announcements, and rumors

Empress' founder Steve Bragg posted a pair of comments on the Shnobel video.

"You can update the firmware with an SD card, so we'll be adding more modes if people request them. The beer mode is a catchall for any mode we come up with that doesn't fit into any of the other modes. Does that make sense? Right now there's a filtery-glitchy submode and a gated reverb submode in the beer mode."

"Ya it will be $449. Not cheap but here's some tasty features: around 20 algorithms (more coming after we release), 35 presets, stereo, sd card for firmware updates, analog dry, true bypass or buffered bypass to get trails, control port to control with expression pedal or midi or external tap or cv, midi out to change presets on other devices. And since it's field updateable, we'll be able to add stuff after release, like a looper, if people are interested in such a thing."

I read this interview a while back, but forgot about it. Empress has been working on code for a reverb pedal since at least 2012, so I'm excited to hear what they've come up with.

It's definitely an interesting reverb pedal.

That is well out of my price range for now.
Might have to wait and see if our dollar picks up.

It could be worse. You could be a Canadian who can't afford Fairfield/Diamond/Empress gear. I genuinely feel bad for those guys and their struggling fur economy.

I never saw this on any of the blogs or NAMM videos until this morning. It's a Phase 45 & vibe combo. I want to hear this with a Pareidolia.

Isn't the Avalanche Run supposed to be out about now? Anyone preordered?

The listing says 3/31. I think late-March was always the plan.

It's kind of odd to me that Sweetwater opened a pre-order page weeks ago, even though they won't be able to ship them until around June. It seems like a lot of people would cancel their orders during that time, causing maintenance headaches.

4/19 is just six days away.

Dig everything I've heard from that Bicycle.

Sounds like a special little guy.

[echorec]

Yeah, I've already got a blue & a pink Echorec from CB. I'd like to add the Bicycle to my delay collection in the next few months.

Sticking with the delay theme, it looks like the new big box Alexander units are starting to ship. PGS has both of them in stock.
