This guy makes/made his own modules for the ToneCore series of Line 6 boxes. Too cool.

The synth pedal he makes sound amazing. Although I probably wouldn't have much use for it. Its still cool though.

Sounds cool, although you'd have to use it sparingly or your songs would be a bit boring - plus you'd have to turn your back when playing (EVH style) so people would you're actually playing the notes.

Same can be said for most effects though, really. I'm pretty sure he said it was polyphonic, so it could make for some really cool sounding chord progressions/riffs rather than just being used a labour-saving widdlewiddley device.

dude, you get that, a ringmod and an envelope filter and turn any shitty organ you can get for free out of the trash into a full blown synth!

Badass.

130 Euros isn't as expensive as I was thinking for what essentially seems like a small garage operation. Also...

Packaging and delivering costs not included:-15â‚¬ (-20$) (If you can come and get the module in Belgium)

lol

If it's ingenious European pedals you're after... This is what I'm going to grab instead of an EHX Freeze one day

Tell me about it - still trying to hammer out a way to get a hold feature on the M13 that doesn't have a delayed attack.

That is amazing. It looks really quite nifty, too.

Wonder why he keeps playing whilst both hands are seemingly on the pedal ?

He's using his wee-wee to press the hold function !!

Nah srsly. This is cool stuff. It will get abused but impressive all the same.

I'd much sooner someone approach the guitar with a more childlike "I WANT ALL THE TOYS TO MAKE ALL THE NOISE!" approach than pay several hundred pounds for a set of fricking pickups that sound essentially the same as most other pickups.

just been on the Z Cat website, great pedals great prices. Like the Octave generator & the trem/reverb/phase/chorus pedal for 80 euros would free up a lot of pedalboard space.

As much as I like the arpeggiator, I get the feeling there's not much I'd be able to use it for

The ZCAT Hold 2, however... Do want. Do want badly
