Looks very nice, but very pricey....

Can I download the manual yet? Kinda curious about exactly how it works! (e.g. what options it opens up for me in terms of rig control)

well, it's not a new idea... the Lehle switchers does this for some time now. let's see/hear if you are able to get at the Lehle standard of sound-transparency (which is not an easy task...).

I dig the Lehle stuff, but I have a feeling this is way more useful for my needs. We shall see, I'll have mine Monday and it'll be in my NAMM booth.

How much are the Lehle's? I need something like this before I record the new album but funds are tight.

BTW: The Lavaflow looks very nice.

Nevermind, just looked at the Lehle pricing at Tone Merchants.

I was gonna say call Uwe, he's the distributor.

Yeah, he showed me some of the Lehle stuff a year or two ago when I was at his shop, which is why I figured TM would carry it.

That looks handy running pedals in the loop for separate channels.
I was thinking of using an a/b type pedal with my AC15HW as it has inputs for two separate channels (top boost channel/EF86 channel) with no footswitching.

This is a great illustration of how this is to be used! Thanks! I just did a web search and The Lava Flow is the only A/B/Y on the market with these features and is priced less than many that have much less versatility.

All I know is that I have yet to try any Psionic piece of gear I don't totally love...I'll know more Tuesday when that and the other Psionic stuff I have in the THD booth will arrive.

bob, sorry for my late reply. yes, like Ed said, bette turn to a distributor near you. I'm not familiar with the overseas prices.
you should test again the Lehles. they have an improved circuit (some pedals got it just a few months ago) and, compared to many other such pedals, the Lehle are by far the most transparent (of course, if this matters to you...) and have nice midi control capabilities, so you don't even have to place them on the floor (mine are in the rack).

Nice illustration, interesting tidbit, neither of those amps have effects loops assuming they are the vintage versions.

I can see this pedal being very useful, I am just getting into the wonders of AB boxes and using more than 1 amp.

No problem mibu. As it turns out, my current needs is only to cleanly split an instrument signal. I had completely forgotten that I own a VHT Valvulator I. DOH!
