Have they replaced the standard TC switch? It certainly looks different, when side-by-side with the old model. The skirt is closed, instead of having that open x pattern, and it looks like it's slightly shorter (possibly wider, too) than a standard bypass switch. (although that could partially be caused by the angle of the images)

It sounds a bit like flerb being strangled inside a test tube to me.

The switch on the current pedals is just a switch. The new model would need a different mechanism to provide expression data.

The mash feature with the toneprint seems like it could be potentially awesome.

Yep. Good deduction. I was on fumes last night, or my brain could've gotten me to this next step. :thumb:

Matthews recently unveiled the Chemist. (is it a delay, harmonizer...is it a weird modulation unit?)

Also, the upcoming Epoch Deluxe is going to be $329, which seems a bit steep compared to pedals like the Nemesis and even the RE-20. No tap-tempo and no preset recall also makes it feel a bit behind features-wise. :idk:

Ultimately I hope it sounds good and sells well for them, but it's probably not for me.

Not a shampoo, but how about a floor wax and dessert topping?

Is the MF-104M coming back?

Sweetwater just included this note in their Gearfest newsletter.
Be sure to visit the Moog Pedal Factory, and watch the pedal pros build the fantastic M4-104M Delay on-site. Who knows? Maybe they'll even sign one for you.

The second I saw the title I knew this would be expensive. I didn't think it would be $1800 though :lol:
