I swung by yesterday and... well the pedal sounds sweet!

How easy is it to dial in good sounds and how sensitive are the knobs? In other words, when you find something you like will the slightest movement make it impossible to get back to? Lastly, how versatile is it - are there dozens of usable and unique sounds to pull from it or more of a 1 or 2 trick pony?

Sorry for the onslaught...just excited about learning more.

Fair. Deep Impact may not have survived, but I see a Future Impact on many boards, but agreed the size and price is prohibitive...not sure if it was previously mentioned but...what is the price point for this beautiful little box?

I'll add to this in saying the Deep Impact was extremely limited in comparison to the Future Impact. You had only 9 presets and could only edit a few basic parameters, but you couldn't really create new sounds. While the price point was prohibitive to some, it died because it had very little to offer compared to today's synth pedals.

The Future Impact seems to be surviving quite well. It is a different market than it used to be.

I don't have any direct experience with the Deep Impact to base this off of, but I also heard that the board inside was quite fragile as well, which led to quite a few failures.

It is very easy to dial in sounds and save them. That is the point.
This is a 1000 trick pony. The problem is going to be presenting this technology to the world in a way the does not confuse folks. There is on sound on the Nathan's pedal at the show that is stunning. Hope to get this out in a sound clip soon.

Sounds like a job for @Proton Lenny

I'm sure you've seen his demos if you've ever looked for a demo of any pedal that was unique or odd. You should gift him one to review. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I have purchased more than a few pedals that cost several hundreds of dollars without getting to try them in person because of his reviews. It's better marketing than Ryan's Toy Reviews...

That will always be the challenge with a pedal with a complicated GUI but you have already been building an audience and players are a lot more willing to dig in these days to grok the possibilities. For those that don't there will always be User Libraries or banks to get sounds.
