This is the latest buzz/hype product to send the HarmonyCentral/TheGearPage crew into a hot sweaty spunky funk, nothing like a waiting list to get people hot under the collar. It's like $2,000+ worth of preamp/supersophisticated amp modeller and effects unit built to TC Electronic/Eventide levels of quality. I've listened to the samples on the site and on videos and it seems pretty spiffy, although it's totally not my thing to be honest. Would be awesome as a studio tool though. You can also use it to play live using a tube power amp, powered monitors/speakers or DI into a PA. People are really pissing their pants over the realism of the sounds. Apparently the modelling algorithms are completely original and it was all done from the ground up.
Here's some sondz:
