aside from having different sets of modules, they don’t really sound alike to me. maybe once they’re snarled into a crazy enough state it doesn’t matter. but the core sound is not the same. nor is it meant to be. to me, this sounds a bit more Roland-ey. which makes sense since the Intellijel Atlantis is pretty SH-101 sounding (maybe you should be comparing a Roland System 100m to this…? ). but the Cascadia goes way beyond that and you can get Buchla-esque type sounds out of it. which the 2600 can’t even dream of (nor should it!).
as @trackerjack stated, this is very full-featured and there’s a ton to explore here. there is in the 2600 as well, but there’s more here.
Ah well that explains it! I’d somehow missed that little section Nice addition

I notice on Rubadub they have a shot of it with metal end cheeks (I haven’t seen this photo anywhere else). I wonder if that’s an old concept or if they’ll have alternatives available…
I’m thinking just from a durability/gigging perspective the metal cheeks are a nice option. Maybe Cascadia puts on it’s wood cheeks at home as it relaxes with a nice glass of wine, but prefers to be metal when out for a late night.
How amazing it must be to combine it with a 2600 (and/or Fenix, Implexus), though.
This would really make a great little modular expander.
I think they’ve missed a trick not fitting a joystick in there. Well, would probably have added another 200 bucks to the cost at least. A delay would have been nice, too.
yeah - the FX send/ return is mono & it makes sense. Intellijel intend you to be inserting stuff in the middle of the signal path - say pre filter for example, for interesting pedal procoessing of your sound, but as they say on one of the videos, most wide stereo stuff ( reverbs, delays etc ) are going to be added post the whole main mix outs, so the FX loop doesn’t really need to be stereo, as it’s going to get mono-ised back inside the Cascadia anyway.
oof, i really want it but the price is a bit much for me rn :>. ive been wanting to get into modular since some years now and i explored a lot but never makes the jump. this to me is getting modular functionality without having to get lost in options (for many thats a negative of course but strictly functionally its a positive).
I think it is a negative when a design makes too many compromises, but so far I don’t feel that about Cascadia (of course, we have to wait for lots of user demos and experience reports). There’s not a lot that I would say is superfluous, or lacking.

Nice addition
