Ever wanted your guitar to sound like a teenage robotic chipmunk? Now you can (in a few weeks, anyway)!

This is so ridiculous and silly that I sort of want one just for the lulz. I bet you could actually get some fun noises out of this thing.

This is great haha
I wonder what putting a distortion in front of or before would sound like

Unless there is a blend control this is likely just a monophonic midi pedal, in which case a distortion before it would just make it harder to track. A distortion after it or a delay or something would sound awesome.
I kinda want one depending on price.

LULZ on the switch placement

Not to mention, there is a "scat" setting
Any bets on a "tentacle" hidden feature?

I really hope the "nyan" setting is good, running it through a harmonizer and looper could make for the most annoying noise ever made.
The programme sounds like it does loads of compositional stuff, whereas this pedal is just one part of DAT

cute delay? must be like a little reverb.
But what's the pedal do? Just sing out notes in Italian notation with effects?

The Vocaloid software is a really clever and usable songwriting tool (I'm using a different 'singer' version though - Re: my 'robotic chipmunk' comment in the OP) but for many of them you can only type in lyrics that are in Japanese. It's a totally different thing to this pedal...I'm assuming this mimics the vocal characteristics of the Miku voice bank to act on the filtering of the guitar signal. It looks like this just makes vocal harmonies rather than sung words/phrases (apart from the word 'nyan' apparently).
If you want a proper Vocaloid voice synth, the Prima version can do English lyrics, and is relatively cheap. The software is on its third generation now, so some of the voice banks for earlier versions are being upgraded to the Vocaloid 3 standard.
There's a little subculture centred around the Vocaloid software, and some of the people using it are genuinely talented. I'm guessing that this pedal is geared towards them, but I'd still like to play around with this. Putting it in front of a distortion and a looper could be interesting!
Available in certain countries only, please let the U.S. be one of them.
I need this in my life, along with that new ehx organ thing. My guitar must sound like a vocaloid accompanied by organ fuzz through a wall of delay. I need this.

At the reported ¥13,000 it seems like reasonable chunk for the thrills, and with Korean Won killing the Yen right now I'm even more tempted.
Teh Cinderz and I have decided to not blow a precious month's salary on another luxurious Club Med trip this year, and instead will vacationing for a few days in Osaka next month for a fraction of that. Would love to see if the guitar shops in Shinsaibashi/Namba will have them by then...
