Multimode! Ping-pong, Random and Alternate (taps are sent on one output and silences are another?)

These are all pretty sexy ideas. We have wanted to do a v2 of the Memento for a long time, so maybe some of this will inspire Ben and our digital guru, Bob, to get crackin.

Do people actually do this/is it worth it?

If you want to pay more than the minimum, you can pay it off early without penalty. I'm not positive, but Synchrony's terms (their financing partner) might actually require $25 per month (not exactly sure, because I opened my line by grabbing 3 or 4 Moogerfoogers at once, so my monthly minimum has always been over 25). Sweetwater is definitely the best place to finance from my experience. Their customer service completely exceeds every other U.S. company, that I've ever dealt with.

This thread has several comments on financing and payment plans. viewtopic.php?f=149&t=51827&hilit=financing

I would say no, don't go into debt for gear. Ever.

That's probably wise advice for everything. Unless you're trying to build credit.

I don't finance for more than a year.

And have very specific limits: one guitar/big thing at a time, period.

Time for me to buy is late winter/spring when the clearances hit.

I think these are the first Loars to feature a Bigsby. It's a full hollow body with Filtertron-inspired pickups.

What's up with this Cusack amp? Is it purple or what?

Yeah dude that's a Goblin. We can make them in dang near any color. Also, you were there, Chanks?!

Nah, I stole that photo from "thesooze" on TGP. Amp looks great though (as do all the pedals), Eric!

"...so many people have started putting out more and more modulation pedals, I mean, are you seeing more and more players using them, do you think there's a demand?"
"Yeah, well, we started it."
Lol'd.

The Spaceexpander sounds okay, but it doesn't really make me want to get up and go buy one, either.
Also, WHY ARE THERE NO DEMOS OF THE REVERSE RADICAL?! That's the only Alexander pedal I've actually had any real interest in lately.
