The Astronomer
This very well-built and compact unit features myriad shades of ambience with the additional ability to control the "travel" of the reverb tail via expression pedal. It also features noiseless switches, which is something I prefer.
There's nothing here but greatness.

The Architect
This pedal has quickly become a favorite with the ability to find great tone with the individual channels or running them both and swapping orders. Pro tip: running the Architect into this bad boy = face melt.

I use it to control my effects on my pedalboard. It is easy to program and responds great! The best I could find…. You can't go wrong!

The Whaler
Great sounding fuzz with a wide range. Nice to see something original that isn't just a recreation of a vintage pedal.
