I can't be the only one who is dying laughing over here at that thing. Did their product department become Nihilists? Or do they just have an zany sense of humor.
"Let's call is the grape phaser"
"Brilliant! You're promoted"
Watch out Dwarfcraft. You were worried about Pigtronix. These guys are your REAL competition with their grape phasers.

I'm with both of you. What could be so special about this particular 2-knob phaser, that it had to be unleashed on the world at this time? As far as the name, my first two guesses are that it's either purposefully irreverent or it's like someone just gave up. "Yeah, we made the Grape Phaser. Whatsittuya, buddy?"
FF to 5 mins from now when an Aguilar rep signs up for this board, in order to tell us that his 5-yr old daughter's favorite color is grape.

I might be a grape leap of faith but the rewards will be sweet. It's the kind of moral fiber we need around here.

I believe they have pitched this as an OP1 with less hardware. You use it with other controllers or a smartphone app or a laptop.

If it runs on the ipad I'll be so in that the church would denounce it as disgusting and immoral.
