It was a load of fun, showing the Drone Rainger off at NAMM in January! It was very well received - and really seemed like something quite different to everything else around at the moment. While I was there using it noticed a few things to adjust when I got back, and we've been working hard on that.... And making good progress!
The white noise burst has been replaced with a different momentary effect; its volume was hard to control - being decided by the delay level knob - and was very often too loud compared to everything else going on.
So instead there's a 'pitch up' effect, which raises the pitch of one of the drones to a much higher note, and with a deeply cool glide back down when the switch is released. It makes more notes available - foot-controlled - and increases the playablilty of the pedal as a sound generator/instrument in itself (up to 5 notes possible - with careful switching - for any note set by the knobs).
Now 2-note harmonies - eg major and minor 'chords' - are very easy!! Also dub-like bloops.
It feels far more related to the other momentary effect - the one-tone-down pitch drop.
At the moment, we're hoping to be shipping these around mid April.
We really want to make sure the Drone Rainger lives up to - and exceeds - its promise, and I'm really confident that we're doing that.
Thanks so much for hanging on!
