Be interesting to see how elektron’s foray into guitar pedal review world will go.
It’s a crowded marketplace, but wonderfully boutique as well as the mass manufacturers.
I now want a cut-down OT QuattroTrack looper pedal!

I am wondering if there are guitar players in the staff of Elektron?

OT 2 is also my wish, lets hope it’s not a wishful thinking.
It would be awesome if Elektron are coming with more different analog sound processors and use that research experience to create a new hybrid Octatrack concept.

Well you couldn’t get a product at a more opposite end of the technological spectrum to the mythical Octatrack 2 a lot of us have been hanging around for. Seems to be just a figment of my twisted imagination.
Unfortunately it seems like everything coming out these days is mini, micro or slim. Well stuff that I say. I’m looking for huge, wide and obese. Feed the man meat.
Back in around '86 when I wore tight black skinny jeans and a flanno I would have been all over this thing. Young and stupid then, didn’t have a clue, still don’t, but just worry if I buy this I won’t fit into those jeans anymore.
Anyway, enough reminiscing, just hope this new path they’ve taken isn’t the only one they’re travelling down now

Guitar people will hate that it’s not true bypass. And it’s mad expensive for guitar market, especially in the US.
If it was reverb or something like that, but a drive pedal?

Next would be Analog 500 series 
Looper would be cool. Shame they never totally fixed up that side of OT tho 
Ayyyy. I called the box as an Analog Drive back in the old Elektron Box 2016 thread… although my spec guesses were closer to the Heat than the Drive (sans multi-fx)

And does this mean subsequent effects boxes will be a Desktop machine + a stompbox variant?

Strymon just put out an expensive drive pedal. That said, Strymon is a well-known commodity for guitarists, whereas I imagine there are a lot of guitarists who have never heard of Elektron. Tough market to break into; lots of saturation. But guitarists are also people who will pay $250 for a Fuzz Face clone that costs $25 to make, so it’s hard for me to tell what they’ll pay for.
As a bassist, I will say the lack of a wet/dry mix is a major turnoff, much more than the lack of true bypass.

Actually I am also a bit concerned about the power consumption. 400 mA seems really much for the typical guitar pedalboard powersupplies…

ah ah !! Analog Trak, 1-track looper pedal. wait, no distortion unit? ah ah, sorry I can’t but troll 
Buffered Vs True Bypass is one of the big guitarist debates, so not all will be unhappy.
