Does anyone here own one? I have questions! Kind of lusting for one, but, I need to know a little more about the functionality of selecting and combining patches (and people on youtube seem to only go through the sounds). Thanks!

Never heard of it. Looks snazzy!

Totally! It sounds amazing in the demos online. I'm just trying to figure out if it can knock 1 or 2 pedals off my board. I might just pull the trigger and find out for myself.

I fuuuuuuuuckin’ love this pedal. Like, it’s permanently wired into my mixing desk, it’s arguably the best reverb I’ve heard. It’s fantastic. It’s pretty easy to change patches, pretty much like any other other pedal with presets. You select from the patches you’ve chosen for each bank, one for channel A and one for B. As far as combining them, it’s simplest to just play about in the editor, SpecLab. You can’t have A and B on at once, so can’t set a reverb on A and a delay in B, but you can combine a reverb and delay into one patch, and then set that as A or B.
The depth of the options scared me at first, but it’s not actually that complicated. It is, however, incredibly controllable and versatile. I’d recommend trying one out if you can, because it’s a bloody expensive pedal and you’d want to be sure that you get on with it, but its resale value is pretty bulletproof.
The main problem with it is that your sound-man mates will try to steal it for gigs, it makes for such good outboard

yeees! I ended up getting one and have been loving it. It's been doing double duty as a bedroom/ambient/BladeRunner reverb, and also a more standard "band" pedal when I play with friends (on less ambient patches of course... a more toned down 70s Plate for example). SpecLab is easy enough to get used to, and I've dialed in some stereo analog ping-pong delays that just melt my ears... So good.
Thanks for your vote--nice to hear others liking it! I agree, not a cheap pedal but it should hold its value. Not sure I'll ever sell it though. :)
