Wrong thread dude 
ha, Yeah, kind of thinking out loud because I didnât know what to make of this initially. Suddenly realized how truly different the two units are. I kinda wish the AH was this color though.

If only this was stereo I could master with it⌠(Joe king)
Wonder if there planning on different fx pedals too then⌠I guess the distortion was first as itâs already on the table elsewhere.
Simple and effective business moves, no doubt will help elektron become a bigger (better??) brand.
Yeah nice to see something different looking from Elektron. Hard not to compare with AH but youâre right, both seem aimed at different jobs. All good, not too much overlap etc to feel like itâs cynical function crippling or bad deal on either units prices.

Man. That is a good looking unit. Though no filter, envelope, lfo, or overbridge. So, the half price makes sense. I think this is brilliant. Theyâve been very efficient in how they come up with products. A4/Ak and then use the same tech for the AR.
I think itâs brilliant. And it looks SO GOOD!

This would also be good for plugging in the voyager on a smooth bass preset and letting it get crazy. Would also be nice if you output drum breaks from the emax II or eps sampler into this box. Big ups to Elektron for always innovating.

yeah the TB thing will be a turn off
UNLESS
it has a buffer that does pleasant stuff to the signal when bypassed.
but yeah, there are already a bazillion great drive pedals out there.

Iâd be all over a guitar with a p-lockable fretboard, myself.

Donât see why not? No different from other distortions really, just more of em in one boxâŚ
Plenty of expensive boutique pedals that are around $150 for one analog distortion sound. To be seen (or heard rather) whether or not the sounds that come out of this pedal are guitar-friendly but Iâd consider buying it.
Havenât been following mono guitar drive pedals in over 20 years but I could imagine there are a million alternatives to this in the wild?
The Heat being stereo with a few bells and whistles is at least rather unique.
Hopefully this thing has a place out there? Rock on I guess
I wondered if they might offer something like this: a simplified version of the Heat in a pedal form. I might bite. The world needs more original distortion circuits for guitar. We donât need any more clones or variations of big muffs, fuzz faces and the like.
According to the specs it has a high impedance guitar input only. No switch for line level unfortunately. Every guitar overdrive/distortion pedal that I ever tried was completely worthless on synths. I wish this one would cover both territories but I doubt it.
Why they didnât call it the âLittle Heatâ is beyond me.
