i missed the demos first go round....they sound pretty good but i really want to hear the compressor pedal. Looks like they are $225 a piece.

According to the Demo Video, they are the only 3 available right now, but the video is from Winter NAMM 2005, yet I seen them all listed for sale at Sweetwater.com.

Not to be a curmudgeon or anything but I've heard the same tones coming from an amp and a $50 pedal. In my opinion it seems a tad gimmicky. It seems like another way to keep consumers consuming. I could be wrong but most pro guitarists that I've heard lately profess to using a Fulltone. For the money of the Vox pedals you could get a Fulltone and another germanium fuzz pedal and have the whole tonal pallet at your disposal and never worry about tubes.
Thanks for the news about the new pedals though.

i agree spud...i wasn't overly impressed but I THOUGHT they would be reasonably priced (like the ADxxVT series of amps) but at $225 a pop i'll stick with my bad monkey!

I would like to find a decent reverb pedal....any thoughts.

Boss Rv3 If you can find a used one. Otherwise they are a bit on the too spendy end of the spectrum. If Digitech has one I'd check into that.
