Great, googily moogily.
Taylor needs some kind of prize for GAS induction. Perhaps we could call it the TB Effects Pickled Cabbage Award!

According to the Maestro, the control are:
-room size (little practice room to concert hall) - this is the control in the upper left.
-a filter to cut lows out of the reverb signal to prevent muddiness (this does not affect the clean signal)
-reverb volume
-clean volume
Its designed to be a simple reverb that works well on bass. IME the only reverb pedal that works well on bass is the hideously expensive Strymon Blue Sky and that's only becase it has the same type of filtering that Taylor is using here. I can't wait to try it out.
Aesthetically I think the photo doesn't show the colour of the pedal well. Its a blue sparkle box, I;ll see how it looks in the flesh, but I think its going to look pretty damn cool on my hot pink PT-Jr board!

(chuckling out loud)... Taylor just keeps coming up with these ridiculously cool pedals.
Taylor: you da man!

If I didn't already have my Bluesky, this would be on my shortlist. Still in love with my Oxide. IE seems to be making a habit of designing pedals that are both awesome and extremely well thought out and useful. 
The filter is a fantastic idea for bass. Taylor are you using an existing module/DSP or did you create one your own?
Love the compact size and the simple but really well thought out controls. Exactly what I'd want for reverb on bass with none of the things I don't.

[slight derail] I'm guessing Taylor was thinking either of the cloud or the halo effect when he named it, but I think of Futurama.
After all, the Nimbus is the name of Zapp Brannigan's ship.
As my wife asks me on occasion, how is it that I can remember weird details about a show I watched sporadically years ago and yet I can't remember where I left my wallet half the time? [/slight derail]

What pops into my mind is the Mitsubishi Nimbus:

But Taylor's designs have way more funk than the Bishi!
