There’s one proper demo out so far, but not too much on details, and the pedal has yet to go active for Pre-orders - while it is currently listed - the only one that doesn’t yet have a price - I’ve estimated €239 as a likely starter, it could be as much at €249 - while I feel on balanced that compared other the originall - that €239 feels about right!
