I might go for an arcade version of Comb Room.
It kind of looks like just a standard Float Glass in a weird enclosure. I wonder if one could swap them out...
Have you ever played any Lorre-Mill stuff? I wish the Double Knot was an AudioThing plugin. Then, I could randomize it constantly and insta-save my favorite happy accidents.
I had a Double Knot for a little while and I was never quite sure what to do with it. I guess I just didn't take enough time. Adding some effects would probably be fun.
I love the double knot! Still rocking a v1 since forever.
I do also wish there was a plugin or vst version- instead I just keep a little tascam recorder near it when I come across something good. I just love the core sound of it- it’s simple but interesting-sounding. It always catches my ear.
This sounds like it can do almost every kind of time-based modulation---flanger, chorus, vibrato. It can also do a lo-fi delay (340ms max), as well as flirting with ring mod territory.
It all sounds pretty good, but I didn't hear anything I can't do with gear I already have. The CV possibilities are nice. I think I'm just not the target audience for this thing.
Limited edition Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar with a trio of lipstick pickups, add on switch on the Rhythm plate compared to the standard model to add or switch to the middle pickup, $3k: https://youtu.be/CHInyYNuTAo?si=L71aqB69yEt6uCnX

i was wondering about this, and i have to say i'm underwhelmed. but then, i've never much liked lipstick pickups. it also seems like they're going a bit far with trying to kind of retain the look of regular Jaguar switching (emphasis: "kind of"). at this point there's really no reason for slide switches instead of smaller toggles, and is there anyone who actually likes the roller pots?

I suppose the roller pots make a kind of sense for a not-impossible-to-tweak preset setting, ala the rhythm circuit. On the Jag and Mustang type slide switches, I can see an argument for their existence from hard and wild pickers. But I still haven’t owned one of the offsets with these things going on, so I’m not one to talk from experience.
I’ve seen some cool wiring diagrams for Jags particularly allowing for a lot of options from the traditional three switch plate. But Freeway blade and toggle switches are probably going to make people happier who don’t want to have to remember magic combos.
I dig lipstick pickups but not $3k dig them. Will need to really dig in listening to vids on whether the middle pickup is that big of a bonus on a Jag.

for maximum combinations of pickups, i like rotary switches. they're a different kind of ungainly than individual switches, but have maximum safety from being mis-actuated.

The Other Room is a unique speaker distorter pedal that features a 3 Watt, 3” speaker and a small condenser microphone. This pedal can be so many things all in one: a practice amp for jamming amp tones in your room, a mic’d cab setup for recording huge guitar tones without tons of space or recording gear, a feedbacker, a noisemaker, a unique way to record stereo signals with panned effects, the list really does go on. The more I use it, the more I realize I can accomplish.
The controls are straightforward but highly interactive. The Speaker knob controls the volume of the speaker, which naturally distorts at higher volumes due to the whopping 3 inches it’s carrying. The Mic Out knob is actually the gain for the on board microphone pre-amp. The Fuzz knob tempers the built-in fuzz circuit.
The FDBK switch is where things start to get really interesting, this routes the output of the microphone both to the output of the pedal, as well as the input of the speaker. This is where all the knobs interplay to display a huge range of tonality. The feedback itself ranges from light bits of feedback after you hit a note to full squealing feedback to self-oscillating madness.
You can run it as an amp-styple trem or isolate just the pre-amp. It's got 6 waveforms, including random. It shows € 210, but it looks like you'll have to pay close to $300 in the US with shipping and fees. (not aware of any North American dealers)

When did Electric Druid put out the TAPLFO?
I guess the innovation is the EQ?
Nice wood enclosure.
V1 has been around over 10 years, with TAPFLO 3(D) available since at least January '23. This curcuit seems to have some warmth and grit. A trem without a booster or preamp in the circuit always seems to be a bit flat and unappetizing.
I haven't bought a trem in a while, since I have two Empress boxes, a Malekko Gatekeeper, Cusack Tap-a-Trem, and probably close to 15 trems total. Def need to add a Cosmodio Gravity Well and a Wobulator clone to the archives.
Here's a rhythmic playground from AudioThing + Hainbach. (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS)
---usages: lab sounds, Krautrock, retro-future, sci-fi textures, exotic drones, gritty primitive drum machine (no keyboard required. it can generate its own sounds, or you can use external sequencers to trigger pattterns. you can also import user samples. I've been trying out different sequencers, MIDI gates, and various effects)
If you already own some of these plugins, check your user area for bundle upgrades.
