A couple of things:

• I got some AirPods Pro
• Apple is moving to its own silicon. Does that mean anything for stuff like Protools?

Neural DSP Quad Cortex (stab: KHDK Abyss)

• A challenger appears!
  • This is a new floor modeler and is INSANELY powerful.
  • 2GHz quad-core SHARC chip
  • 7” multi-touch display
  • The footswitches are knobs to turn parameter dials
  • “Want to run four amplifier models, stereo reverbs, and a plethora of other effects simultaneously? Quad Cortex won’t even break a sweat.”
  • Neural Capture included, which I think is like a Kemper profiler
  • 50 amps, 70 effects, and more than 1000 IRs
  • Bunch of modes: Stomp mode, scene mode, preset, etc
  • 2 combo inputs (XLR and ¼”) 2 sends and returns, 2 XLR out, 2 TRS out, headphone out, MIDI, 2 EXP inputs, USB.
  • SMOL BOI. ~11.5” x 7.5” x 2”

Pedal Genie

• Lone Wolf Audio Twin Snake ($350)
• Korg Miku Stomp (lol)

TC Electronic Ditto+ Looper (Stab: Meris Mercury 7 Reverb) 

• 60-minute loops!
  • Dynamic loop length allows you to add overdubs that are longer than your original loop
  • Unlimited overdubs and undo/redo functions still.
  • Import/Export via USB.
  • It now has a color display with real-time loop info on it
