Man, I think this pedal is amazing; perfect for practice or playing alone in small context.

This times a billion.

Not looking forward to sharing sets with self indulgent assholes who think they have a right to play out as a "band" thanks to these. In albany this is bound to happen.

And if anyone pairs this with a loop pedal and a vocal harmonizer and attempts to impress anyone outside their own home with this setup i will punch them square in the dick.

It's looks like a really neat and convenient little box for home practice and such. But yeah, we'll curse its existence as soon as they fall into the hands of pretentious pub blooz wankers.

We kind of get both sides of it in the videos Golden_Sonic posted, the first one is kinda neat, the second one is what you're gonna get if you ever encounter someone using one at a venue.

It's a really neat little tool; not bad at all for what it's intended to do.

Does it have a Metal setting? If so, that would rule.

Video 1 almost sounds like bono is going to start singing at any point and video 2 sounds like a Jamiroquai influenced/tribute band is going to kick in. Both of these are bad things to me however if it has a rap-metal reggae funk fusion setting then yeah!

I think we're missing the real potential of this pedal here.

We can use it to fire bandmates.
Imagine, if you will, that one shitty bass player who's always late to rehearsals and gigs, only half of his gear works and he has to bum the rest of the other bands and yourself. You're up to here with this fellow and you decide that enough is enough.

He arrives to band rehearsal, about 40 minutes late and you all give him that look.

'Hey mate, it's been great, but we think we're going in an opposite direction to you.'
'Oh?'
'Yep, we got a replacement for you, sorry to say. He's reliable, only needs a single power outlet, not afraid to get down and dirty.'
'Is he here?'
'Yeah, just check John's pedalboard.'

Ladies and gentlemen, we have an immediate band member terminator.

If you think this is a solution then you're probably not playing anything worth listening to in the first place.

Nevermind the part where you play that first gig with this pedal and get punched square in the dick for having an invisible shitty bass player.

The problem then is the range of stuff that's stored on-board, and the associated issue of sounding exactly the same as every other person who's using one?

If there were a way of uploading more sounds onto it, you'd avoid the problem of being mistaken for Mr Chocolate Fingers who plays at the local Dog & Duck on a Friday night. There doesn't seem to be a USB connection like some of the TC Electronic pedals have, but that would be the route I'd take if I was on the design team for this thing.

Backing tracks for people who can't be bothered/lack the skills to create backing tracks.

It sounds awful, but I do sort of think it's really cool and impressive that it's able to do it at all.
