The only deal breaker for me is not having an uneffected/thru out. Hence, why I do not own a Two Notes Torpedo Cab M.
So you're talking about an independent output that isn't affected by the IR and would be straight out of the preamp, but you can use both at the same time? Do I understand that correctly?

Is that where Black Panther is from?
Something like that :P

Also... What connector will you use to connect to a computer? Will you use 1/8" or 1/4" for the headphones? Will it take line level?
Right now I'm using USB mini and it's working pretty well, the final one will either be USB mini or USB C. Micro are just too easy to break. I would lean toward 1/8" headphone out, I personally get mixed up when everything is 1/4" and I have to either read or remember which is headphone and which goes to the mixer. It should absolutely be able to take line level input.

This is a lot of questions for something that's on phase 2 out of 5 :P I have a general idea of what I want, but haven't committed to all the details yet.
 
If I remember my university geology class right, Gondwanaland was a prehistoric supercontinent that existed before the better-known Pangea supercontinent.
Bingo :) The AMT IR loader module I'm using is called Pangea, thought they went well together.

Yes. At least one affected out and one unaffected out. An IR/Cab Sim/Headphone Amp without an unaffected out is pretty useless to me. Especially, when I want to plug my entire pedalboard into the front of my amp. Ideally I'd use the affected signal to Headphones/FOH/PA and unaffected to Amp/Cab. Yes, I could solve this by splitting the signal before it but I'd prefer not to do that. It's just another device to buy.

The line level is an awesome feature if you're able to pull it off.

I have a Darkglass Element right now and it is absolutely packed with features. It has bluetooth aux, headphone amp, cab sims, EQs, power amps, mute, takes line level, affected out, unaffected out, XLR out and it can be used as a recording interface. It has more features that I haven't even touched yet. I'm not expecting Gondwana to be as jammed pack with features but I'd need some essentials in order to make it work in my set up. I'm sure it would work just fine for the majority though.

Why is the center POT shaft twice as long as the other pots? Anything special/fancy? Rotary encoder? Clicky-button? Dual-pot?
It's a rotary encoder. Eventually it will be the same height as the others, but unfortunately I clicked on the wrong item when I was ordering and didn't realize it until they showed up :P
 
@Sonicblaze , as the defacto website manager, I'd just like to point out that the way this is worded is somewhat confusing. Should maybe be changed to say "Yes! No Tube Included" or something.

I may have been behind that wording decision, I don't remember :P I agree though, it could be better. Any suggestions?
