I bought one of these after seeing all the YT demos, and have been playing around with it for the last couple of days. Cool pedal, but the jury is still out on this one and I'm not sure if I'm going to be keeping it or not. I have to give it credit as it does what it says it'll do, but I've noticed that if you aren't hitting a note directly behind the generated feedback when it's in latching mode (always on)... it tails off in this really weird "honky" type of sound, almost like one last swell before it decides to quit. It doesn't happen nearly as badly when it's in "momentary", and you're controlling when it kicks in and out with the button.

Anyone else experiencing this, and is it something that I'm doing wrong?
 
I think it’s a cool pedal. It makes all sorts of cool noises. I’ve gotten sucked into time warps where hours pass while messing with the controls.
 
Digitech team is reforming, so you might be able to get some tech support on it soon.
 
Great pedal for using with a modeller for some feedback that sounds more natural. I liked it when I had it with my Axe III.
 
I think I've decided to keep it, but I'll probably run it "momentary" most of the time and use it pretty sparingly.

Thanks for the input! It's a cool pedal, but just going to take a little getting used to I think.
 
I bought one after I sold my my sustainer guitar and I got similar results with the FreqOut. It's certainly a fun pedal but I sold it together with my Whammy DT because I don't like to bother with pedalboards and several DSP based pedals and wasn't using them nearly as much as I hoped I would and it didn't help that Line 6 released Helix 3.0 around that time.
