Now I want to know who won that Empress pedal giveaway on reddit. No way anyone guessed that :lol:

That looks cool as shit. Wonder how it will stack up to things in the same price range (C&G Organelle).

I typed up several fantasy drafts about what I wanted it to be, but I didn't submit any of them. A couple of mine were in the ballpark I guess, but I wasn't anticipating it to have pushbuttons or look like an Ableton controller. It definitely has features beyond what I was hoping for, which was a synth/modulation combo box.

This guy on Instagram probably won it---"It’s gonna be a polyphonic synth like processor, with presets, midi, stereo in/out and infinite sustain by holding the footswitch."

We’re also working on a new Superdelay 2 pedal, which will incorporate all the new features we developed for our Reverb pedal and more! On the more experimental side of things, we have a (not so) top-secret project called the Zoia. It’s unlike anything we’ve seen out there, and will offer musicians a unique level of control over their effects. That’s all I can say for now!

Ok, but what about one that is envelope controlled, or manually tuned, or is also a bell-synth?

Agreed. I know it's a teaser but when Chank posted it in the ring mod thread...it kind of turned me off :idk:
I am aching for yet another ring mod though...
I stand corrected...that was the 'official' demo.

That Empress pedal looks crazy man. I’d love to see a more in depth demo. Preferably with multiple instruments.

Noice, especially with knobs you have a chance to decipher what do.

Wow, that Empress pedal looks super cool, but I honestly wish that they left the footswitches off of it; they just really look like they're in the way. Maybe instead include them as an expansion or something instead. I mean, I just really don't see myself ever using that as a pedal in the normal sense :idk:

I'm quite excited by that Empress pedal/module. I was pleasantly surprised by the Echo System and this is another step in the crazy/awesome direction.

I don't mind the footswitches because I plan on using it with guitar, but I could see there being a "pedal" and "desktop" enclosure option.
