Cage was good with his gimmick pieces.
Really glad to hear that. Learning is awesome and it's nice to reflect on one's progress, as there's always more to learn. I feel like I've learned so much about signals and have a much better appreciation for both analog and digital signal processing after getting into modular.
I've been less into pedals lately, but the Buchla (because its audio is line level) has made me rethink that. Today after a medical appt (my current hobby) I picked up a used Gamechanger Light Pedal. Among other things, it does really cool feedback and has a nice trick for extending the spring reverb time. I can just pick up harmonics with the Easel Command's wave folder and get them happening in the spring tank in interesting ways. As a bonus, the guy I bought from put me in touch with a piano tuner who has actual availability so it looks like we will get our piano tuned in the next week or so. And he's got a studio in the same building where our practice space is. Sometimes it's a small town around here.
Also, many pedals will take CV through the expression in (check your manuals), usually limited to 0-3.3v but if you attenuate properly you can do a lot.
Took a listen to the pedal demo but I wonder how low the pitch tracking goes and how it deals with chords. Their big advance seems to be usability. The Fractal Audio pedal I experimented with had all those things as well; the interface was just much worse.

Not bass specific but it has under cab IR slots, and it’ll go stereo which might appeal to a few here. End of chain box with stereo FX Loop, cab sim, stereo width, power amp sim, and headphone out.
Ny only complaint is I need more of these in a boss sized enclosure to fit on my board… only one that seems to fit the bill is the bass simplifier that does power amp, cab sim, headphone and is small! But I need it to be cheaper hahah ah well
WANT! Although I'm trying to figure out what options might force the price from $5 to $75 ...website doesn't seem to explain that range.
seriously
Actually, the device is $75 and adding signature confirmation to the delivery adds $5. If you add the items from the dropdown that's how it prices out.
Ah, okay. $5 for one of those woulda been a no-brainer. For $75, I can build my own.
Indeed contact mics and hardware store ftw!!!
490 milli amps damn, does it come with a power supply at least?
Bluetooth aux, sorry off lawn now….
My guess is that if you're running a stereo effect unit or two then you probably have a Cioks DC7 or something similar which can support 490mA. Also there is a standard aux as well as BT.
No Ric o Sound
It does seem aimed at guitarists. But this group of regulars has such a wide array of instruments I figured someone here could find it interesting. It’s certainly not a cheap utility either.

i was interested until i saw it didn’t have stereo in.
Interesting new controller.

Looks like Perfect Circuit will carry them so I might go take a look when they arrive in stock.

it is for guitarists. there's a "doubling" feature built in which likely adds stereo width, plus it has a stereo fx loop.
“end of chain” in this case means stereo in/out to me (and i’ve never liked effects loops).
I’ll be curious to hear what you think. I’ve been quite committed to the Linnstrument but I’m surprisingly intrigued by…the piano keyboard.
