Just watched the video, and I must say that I'm intrigued. Especially by the "Reverbero". It seems to be a well thought out, and versatile, pedal.

I'm noticing lots of "seem well thought out" and "innovative features" posts. Just curious, with the dearth of information (except a very cursory first-look by Peter Murray) - how do we know if these things have innovative features or what thought has gone into them? A built in DI isn't new, or even all that useful (in an upstream effect pedal) in my experience.
I'll be firmly behind them if they sound & perform well. There just isn't a lot (or any) information to judge them by yet...
...And yes, I'm willing to forgive the "Hey - you stole Stryper's pedalboard!" inevitability!

Have you seen the video? We don't know the full feature set yet but we know the basics to comment on...

Didnt see it anywhere but I hate running power to pedals - anyone know if they are run via battery as well?
A few bucks for a 9 volt battery a month is a price worth paying!!

What appeals to me the most with the "Reverbero", is the fact that one can tweak different effect parameters, and thus be able to personalize the pedal via USB. It's not a unique feature, but still a nice one.
I so called this last September...
I want one with the power section built in... A head in a footpedal. A built-in compressor, tuner, and tube preamp, push-button mute, and FX-loop would be awesome.
The best thing about this post - the mute switch!
The sheer size of those thangs appear to be a deal-breaker for me
+1 as i said THEY LOOK HUGE
with real estate at a premium on everybody's pedalboards, they bring out these HUGE pedals ???
they make nano sized heads to set on top of a 410 cab, but they introduce these HUGE pedals to put on our boards ??
ok,, somebody there has been taking some stupid pills
Exactly. Two of those pedals are probably the size of the F1 amp. But hopefully those are just prototypes. There's a lot of real estate between some of the knobs on a couple of those. I can't imagine the circuit board being that big.
This probably not the place to ask this, but has anyone modded their LMII with a mute switch?
Whats interesting is the tube ones look like they use the subminiature tubes. These are starting to become very popular in amp and pedal designs of late.
I kinda dig the synth and the compressor and overdrive.

Love the fact that the octave pedal is analog (don't care for digital pedals such as the MicroPog and UniBass), but octave down and two octaves down? Why not octave up? I was close to getting an Octron, but I guess I'll wait for clips/price for these pedals.
The DI jack will undoubtedly make the prices quite high. The synth pedal, even with no info, sounds killer!

You know there's going to be two more NAMM's before these things hit the market. 
I get a feeling that none of these is going to be much less than $200 ('cept the DI and maybe the modeler/filter). Which doesn't preclude me from buying one, just makes it unlikely to be an impulse purchase.

The distortion interests me less due to the "distorting only the highs" instead of a full range type deal.
I wish the synth had more knobs, but the USB makes it more interesting. Makes me wonder how the on board controls work. Hopefully a computer is not required to make full use of those pedals
As much as that would be
, I think it would get old real quick.thats because you dont HAVE highs
and i think its meant so you can adjust how much low. im sure if its all the way down, you distort the lows just as much.
The first pedal in the vid is the most interesting to me, the DI with the VLE/VPF filters and boost control. I have wished numerous times that my LMII had a footswitch to switch the filters in and out, now my wish may come true.
the only one that has slightly interested me is the VLE VPF pedal, i liked those features when i tried a little mark out. but the passive DI box seems a little stoopid to me, does it really need to be that size/shape? also the DUB switch is a cool feature on the octaver, well named too. but overall they are pretty meh, nothing really new. they dont even look new they are in the old ashdown enclosures, i wonder if the production models will look better...
