More pedals should look like they've been salvaged from a long disused eastern European power station. IT'S NOT FAIR

The aesthetic is great as long as no pedals take Cyrillic letters and use them as Latin ones because they look similar. Huge pet peeve.

Would it be OK if I told you I'm Bulgarian?

Man, as long as it's phonetically accurate that's all that matters to me. Ryan Adams can go фак химсельф.

Remember that time Ryan Adams followed me, shared my picture, than unfollowed me?

I just Googled this and couldn't find it. You're going to have to share it again.

Muff_Diver posted a video for the Crescendo on the last page, but it looks like there are 7 more pedals in this second wave of budget offerings.
The reviews on the first wave of this series have not been enthusiastic, but I guess if you're looking for a sketching tool, rather than a permanent solution, 'renting' a flawed pedal for $50 isn't so bad. What disappoints me is that Uli Behringer has quickly gone to work on devaluing the TC brand with entry-level clones (not that TC was high-end before). On the + side, I had no idea that you could select all 4 modes simultaneously on the Boss DC-2, having never owned one.
TC's 3rd Dimension is obviously based around this long-discontinued pedal, with a $300 asking price on the used market. The original Dimension C pedal was based on the Roland Dimension D rack unit. Behringer has previously visited this circuit, in the form of its Space-C pedal. So perhaps this promises some marginal improvement, including a metal enclosure.

AFAIK, you're not supposed to since pressing one lifts all the others.
Not that that matters too much since each button is, basically, like a different spot on a potentiometer.

Demo sounded good, but fucking mono?
Misses at least 80% of the point.
Hopefully the board is set up so you can hack it for the true stereo glory of the Dimension circuit.
If this was just because the ignoramuses demand true bypass and that would require more specialized switching, imma gonna be kneecapping P&W douches, and they'll have it coming.

I'd be so much more interested in the 3rd Dimension if a DC-2w wasn't practically guaranteed at this point.
The FMeron sounds really cool.

Do you have any sources on that? All I can find are a handful of people on forums hoping Boss’ll make one?
