Purely from a cosmetic perspective, I don't like the offset buttons. I understand why it's done, but I like to see buttons lining up. Just IMO.

You're not the only one to mention that. I'm looking into it - trying to figure out how to do it without enlarging the overall dimensions. This product is definitely the most difficult one we've ever done from a mechanical design perspective!

Personally, I prefer offset buttons.

Hmm... Would it be possible to add an LCD display?
That would add value to the product, as you could name presets; something I find very useful on stage.

Thanks!

We're currently on the fence about that. Doing it with a simple display would be much easier because we can use the existing Mastermind firmware, but I sure prefer LCDs as well, and really want to get away from the old style user interfaces.

I think the feature set/size is perfect for the vast majority of players looking to put together a "rack-inspired" pedal board. Also, if you can really keep this thing somewhat price-competitive with the Musicom Labs EFX and offer all of the proposed functionality, I think it would also qualify as a fantastic value. Players craving the truly epic grandeur of a 75"x42", 97lb. pedal board could conceivably add additional loops, amp selection and parallel mixing with any of the "mini" line. Personally, I would love a simple programmable LCD display for preset naming (or the midi over USB from the proposed Mastermind GT to use an I-pad as a expanded display!) but I don't know anything about programming or how many man hours and hard-earned ducats that single feature might cost. Oh, and I kind of like the offset buttons myself...I think it's a winner either way.

Hey Ron, any idea when we might see the loop gizmo? I'm trying hard to hold off on a Musicom and wait for your version!

At this point, the project is on hold for a while, unfortunately. The Rack Gizmo took more time than I expected to finish, and I really want to get the Mastermind GT out not much later than the end of the year. There's no time to get another product out while I have that giant project looming. It's going to be a major challenge as it is.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hopefully next year???
