Slow-motion update - the Recovery Effects Cutting Room Floor (I already own the first version, it was being neglected) does wow/flutter very well, although it does seem to cut bass frequencies just a bit (I think it's voiced for guitar, and I'm looking for full spectrum of frequencies). Also, CRF is not stereo. Still, BINGO! Hurray! I'll look into some of the other units mentioned in case they don't have those issues (the rack units rfurtkamp suggested might be a good place to start). Or a Hazarai...? Thanks everybody!

Snazzy is still around, located in Brooklyn, NY. He had all of those monstrous pedals made in smaller (still a big footprint) enclosure as well as some crazy modular stuff. He is on IG at @snazzyfx

If we haven't hit Peak Lo-Fi Pedal Machine yet, it will be soon-ish, no? That one has some interesting sounds to it but not sure if it is offering anything new that we haven't seen yet, or am I missing something?

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I don't think any of the lo-fi pedals have MIDI and/or presets other than the CBA Generation Loss and the Arcades. So that's a whole area for new New Things to become new in. The new Hungry Robot Wardenclyffe Deluxe doesn't even have expression control. I like that they made separate controls for hiss, crackle, and pop, but being able to modulate those parameters would be interesting.

Timefactor/H9?

Can't remember how slow can the Timeline go on the modulation, but sure can get gritty enough, it's just their fucking minimum of ~70(?) ms that could probably make it not work.

Also Empress Echosystem, no? :?:

Doug Tuttle's Mid-Fi is just now announcing the New Thing he's been Instagramming for a while, the 'For Parts Or Repair'. [ https://www.midfielectronics.com/for-parts-or-repair- ] It's a lo-fi tape simulator with separate controls for wow&flutter and 'dropouts', random HP filtering. I like it almost as well as the short-lived Random Chorus. I'd like to suggest that Mr. Tuttle rebrands it as the Hellish Lo-fi Plateau in honour of Dandolin's heroic post. Best, NP
