I have no idea what it does since I'm at work, but I'm all about knobs/leds for eyes. :lol:

I appreciate the dual VOL pots to complement the dual depth pots, but 1 waveform on the analog side is disappointing.
Whitecap features:

An analog tremolo with rate, depth, and volume controls

A digital tremolo with rate, depth, and volume controls as well as tap tempo and five selectable waveforms
That's kind of weird for an analog-digital hybrid. If they were going to put a digital channel in, why not bundle in a digital vibrato. That just seems like a significant omission to me. I've bought several of their pedals, and they consistently fail to deliver any wow moments. It's essentially two vanilla circuits with a ramp control. You get nothing new or too exotic, in terms of waveshapes, panning, or sequencing. If you're buying OBNE stuff, are you really someone who wants dueling tremolos? What does the pedal replace? ---For me, it doesn't replace any of the following: Gravitas, Empress T2, Tap-a-Whirl, Fender Tre-Verb, VibraVox, or Tremotron.

What else is being used in the video besides external reverb? It seems they're using the Flat Light flanger for a tunnel effect, which I wish had been excluded for a first demo. You can hear it at different points in the demo. ---That would've been more interesting, if they had done hybrid sub-modes with multiple modulation sources like the Red Witch phaser-tremolo combo pedal. trem-chorus, trem-vibrato, trem-phaser, trem-glitch

First impression from their demo----I just don't get this release at all. This was shown at SNAMM 2017, so they've been working on this for about 3 years and this is the final result? Factor in the lack of presets and the fact that multiple companies are already doing MIDI-capable, analog tremolos that are warm & smooth for not much more money, this is a rather uneventful release in the digital platform.

It's like a shit tier version of the Tremotron. No thanks

I'm thinking of taking two somewhat dissimilar tremolo pedals and modifying a guitar cable to be, like, real short, so I can connect those between my guitar and amplifier. And to keep things neat and easy to setup, I think I'll duct tape them to a board. Maybe throw some 9 volts and a small screwdriver in a can and tape that to the board too, for those rare in-gig battery changes.... Whaddaya think?

I think that guy may've invented random effects. :snax:

On the one hand, I've been wanting a clone of one for the better part of the last decade.
On the other hand, I'm super concerned it won't be an accurate emulation since there's a pretty high chance it's another FV-1 pedal.
Since I always forget:
