Didn’t Doug step down from running DG?
This is quite a departure from normal pedal designs as CMOS is normally battery powered. The clock in your PC is CMOS and keeps time even when powered off. How this applies to a pedal could be interesting.
Not sure, but I am pretty sure Doug’s vision lives on in both companies.
But they have the controls on the pedal - they didn’t design it so that you couldn’t change things - they just “hid” the controls where they’re hard to get to. Why not just put them where you can actually get to them? I’m not saying “why doesn’t it have controls for x,y, and z” - obviously, different functionalities for different levels of pedal. But, the functionality is there - it’s just not very functional.
Anyway, whatever - it just seemed like a funky design choice to me. Not slamming the pedal or anything.

Yeah I’m not debating it either. The one knob thing is cool but they could als have followed the MXR mini pedal design. Altho I would say 4 knobs is stretching it.
I was just pointing out that it is a very barebone product, mainly lacking in ease of use if you compare it with the B3K. It just seems to follow the product build up: B1K > B3K > B7K > B7K ultra.
