Nifty... If its quality is up to par, then that will probably be a serious player in the pedal-preamp market.
Ok, that's really sweet. If the price is right, it goes on the short list.
EDIT: MSRP is $224.95. Couldn't find any availability date though.

Based on the size of the footswitch relative to the rest of the enclosure, it looks like it's going to be smaller than you think.
Useful in front of my soudcard. Might have to check this out.
I'd like to see a comparison(sp ??) of this, the joe meek, the mxr , aguilar and other pre/di units.

Agreed--if anything it would have to be one of those subminiature tubes, considering all the pots and switches and jacks taking up room inside that thing.
I just wonder if it has the "golden ear" chip. I think that's what it's called. Also, I think you can use the Line 6 12V setting on the pedal power 2 to power this, so I may be interested after all.
I suspect not... I would think that if this had the "golden ear chip," Eden would be hyping it in their marketing material.
Here's the marketing hype for the WTX-264:
"The pre-amplifier section of the WTX-264 is based on the Golden Ear chip for amazing warmth and musicality. This is the same chip used in ultra-high-end recording consoles and is more expensive and more musical than the chips used by other manufacturers."
