It doesn't even have a mix control.
It's also way too complicated for me with the sequencer, pitch shifting and all.
Throw out the sequencer and pitch shifting, throw in a mix control, keep the rest as it is and I'd be interested.

I've never seen this Nick before, but yes. He's annoying and I can't explain why.

This is the first pedal from all the NAMM announcements that I'm actually excited about. I've needed a stereo stutter (post-looper) and it looks like it can handle presets via MIDI. I'm in.

Just saw this video this morning. Holy smoke, I bet it's going to be really cool.

I'm still waiting for the Psycho Press though to cover bitcrush. I think it's never going to come out.

Looking for any reason why this is going to be less than the 500 series module and I'm not seeing any. If this pedal is $500 it'll deflate most of the hype for normal people.

The feature set is pretty insane. Bitcrusher, filter, arpeggiator, and stutter pedal with tap tempo and subdivisions? It's like the brother the BitQuest never had.

Seeing as Terry was a Strymon Founder (and I believe his wife did the early graphic designs) and this pedal is very close to the smaller Strymon Pedals at least as far as layout/looks, I'm imagining a similar price.

I think if they push over $350, they are going to have a hard time getting pedals out the door. The market for 500 Series is way different than the Guitar Market.

$300 would be workable for people who really want this effect. The interface is VERY Strymon but based on the demo the 'hidden' features of each knob are integral to using several of the pedal modes which makes the learning curve steep. On Strymon pedals the hidden features are almost trimpot type things where if you didn't know they were there and never used them you wouldn't be missing out on much. Will take a good deal of manual referencing to get up and running on one of these I think.
