Bit of dumb-arse question here, but is this digital emulation or does it actually have magnetic heads/drum in it? I just assumed digital, but some of the blurb implies it has magnetic drum/heads a'la original Echroec?

Digital yes. But a very good one 

Ah ok, I did think so. No problem with digital delays, just some of the spiel referred to the heads etc as though they were physical/mechanical components.

I haven’t seen anywhere how to save presets. Namely presets that can be accessed via a midi switcher. Maybe there will be more videos posted in how to do that soon

Maybe if you pray, you'll get your wish, @hotpickups !

Lol I’ve amended that little typo lol

Just spoke to strymon about saving presets etc. Armed with that knowledge, I think I’m in now  I won’t be pre ordering though but waiting for a used one or buy one when they’re actually on the shelves here in the uk so to speak for a while

Yeh think you have to hold one footswitch then press one of the 8 buttons on top to save and load without the footswitch or midi so its not a gonna be doable with your foot - still ok tho

Unless their multiswitch can change presets? I don’t think it can though

It can select three presets according to the manual.

Cool well that makes sense

Too expensive for what it does.  Particularly because all the different sounds you hear when the pedal is demoed alone and in stereo will be lost in a mix or on stage.

Defo true for live. If I'm honest, I can probably get any sounds I need when playing live, or recording, using a couple of analog delay pedals.

True. It’s the midi side of thing I quite like it for. If it wasn’t for the lack of midi on the El Cap and presets I would still have that pedal. Bloody awesome pedal that is. Same for the Flint

Anyone actually got one yet? I ordered with Hotrox and I called them up. Apparently the UK shipment is delayed and it'll be end of Feb/start of March before I can potentially see mine.
