It’s like in The City & The City when the overlapping cities sort of bleed into one another. That’s ILF and the rest of the year world. Everybody tries their best to unlook at us but we still affect the other peasants.

The features were inspired by the original EHX 16 Second Digital Delay (not the reissue). Notably, it is always listening to the input signal even when not "on/active". It has LFO modulation of delay time, infinite hold, Fast/Slow clock settings (Fast is essentially running at twice the speed of slow), and foot switchable direction (reverse playback). However, it is not a clone and bears little resemblance to the EHX electronically.

Dang, that might be a bust for me, depending on how different it really is. I would like a workalike right down to the sample-rate modulation that can do pitch skips with a square LFO--all the poor-man's PCM-42 shit.

Top jacks 125b fuzz anyone?

Been wanting one of these ever since some pics of mini pharaoh and mini black forest were posted a few months ago...

I hope mark does a mini LSTR and then a mini Badascan.

oh man, that progression just screams meetings/emails/memos- can we save $0.02/unit if we go with just blue? Do the focus groups respond favorably to the Japanese text? That prototype is gorgeous....

I think ILF has an enormous impact on the pedal industry in general for sure. I've seen it fucking happen here. If someone talks stuff up, it sells great, if it's gets talked down, that shit won't move.

A ton of non users read this site and we all buy an enormous amount of stuff while sharing it on other platforms (IE Facebook, Instagram and other places).

So for sure it has influenced it.

What is it? Well, it's a delay. Pretty obvious, right? Well...it's a delay and a little more. The 60 Second Delay is a "Frippertronics" style looping delay. What's that mean? Notice there's no record/play footswitch. It's essentially like setting up a long tape loop or just having an old school delay with excessive amounts of memory. Which means changing the delay time changes the sampling rate, just like analog delays and early digital units. It's great for long evolving soundscapes and experiments.

The features were inspired by the original EHX 16 Second Digital Delay (not the reissue). Notably, it is always listening to the input signal even when not "on/active". It has LFO modulation of delay time, infinite hold, Fast/Slow clock settings (Fast is essentially running at twice the speed of slow), and foot switchable direction (reverse playback). However, it is not a clone and bears little resemblance to the EHX electronically.

It sounds sweet and is a load of fun! Much more than a looping delay, it can also do modulated echoes, chorus-y things, flange-y things and has one or two unique tricks. Video demo coming soon!

Availability: August 2017

(I think he missed that availability date)
i know one person who has one of those so maybe they're just being slowly made available? either way, seems pretty interesting!

There's a few out on the streets. Next available shipments in early January. Demo will be uploaded end of the year/early January - he is out of town currently. $330 (+tax if in California)

Didn't find this mentioned yet, came across it on PC just now. I could see a use for just such a thing. And hey, it's purple:

I can't remember seeing this. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure it's been done before, but a noise synth i can put straight onto my pedal board is exactly what i want. Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely discussed it with a few ILFers but maybe not on the site. The demo sounds not so good and the tracker makes me wish it was more like the SoMMs but EF is a dope company.
