I have only been wanting to add a couple of tape delay sounds to my board, so not having MIDI oughtn’t be a deal breaker for me, a real EP3 or a Fulltone SSTE wouldn’t have it any way. Maybe the Starlight will be just what I’m after, but I do agree that for the money we expect more external control (i.e. external tap / expression pedal / midi) and more presets. I can’t see how this wouldn’t put a lot of folks off - it would be very interesting to hear their thinking behind these choices.
Perhaps with a unit like this there are less constraints and compromises with DSP usage etc. Also the unit can be designed specifically for one effect and be more tailored to that one effect. But ultimately you would need to try both side by side and see what works best for you.
I was gassing so hard for the GR after getting a Starlight that I scoured the internets looking for one. Got the last one in stock at Studiocare, which DPD appeared to have lost when the tracking didn't update for 4 days after arriving at their hub.
So I scoured the internets again...and somehow Gear4Music now had one left in stock, having been sold out the last time I checked a couple days prior so I suspected it was a customer return but no, they assured me it was a brand new unit and I grabbed that one.
Meanwhile, DPD eventually found the other one and delivered it so basically I now have 2 of them, one of which I will be returning unless you'd like to take it off my hands?
These pedals sound fantastic at home and are great for recording with, but I'm interested to see how I get on with them later in the year when I start gigging again, I still wonder if the lack of presets will be an issue for me? There are five different models on the Astra so a minimum of five presets would have been logical instead of two.
But having said that I think I am going to go for the Reverb too! Will I ever learn!

they do all sound great though. Only really interested in the reverb, whihc I absolutely don't need either as I've currently got an RV6, Avalanche Run, Afterneath and Ghost Echo
