This is a cool pedal, but I feel like it could be confusing to use with so many knobs and buttons having multiple functions. Like, hold this button while you move this knob to modulate this, that knob is for highpass/lowpass (but also sometimes wave form), tap that one over there a few times, etc. IDK, maybe a few more physical controls would be easier.
I feel you on this to some degree! However, the basic interface is actually pretty straight forward and easy to use, and you can make loads of great sounds easily right out of the box. Diving into some of the deeper more obscure features things can get a bit more complicated, but there is a great Quick Reference page in the User Manual that clearly illustrates how to do everything on a single page. It is certainly a trade-off in interface design where the more controls you add, the easier things seem, but the bigger and more expensive things get also. Take the Geckoplex, for example. We wanted it to be a very easy interface, where each control does one thing. It is indeed very easy to use, and absolutely straight-forward, but it is also quite a large pedal with a higher-end price tag to match. The O-Face, in comparison, has a huge feature set and takes up half the space on a pedal board.
Also lots of pedals do the “hold then x” thing You end up easily remembering the functions that you use more often. I referenced the manual for my Keeley Hydra all the time at first but after a bit I could quickly do the hold-change trem to panning/increase shimmer/change trem type… it locks in when you use it a lot
Love the tune Andy 😊
Gecko pedals make some high quality kit
I'm glad they've added a new one
Glad you dig our stuff! Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
Love the look and idea, but haven't listened yet. Andy is sneaky because he can make anything sound purchasable :)
Man, you always kill it… but this is one of the best demos you’ve done. Gecko knew you’d make this shine. On the list it’s so rad
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much :)
Sounds cool
Looks like when boutique pedals first emerged
I remember the Diaz pedals
Great demo of s great pedal
I dig the idea of this! Great demo!
Thanks for watching!
Darn it Andy, this is aggravating my P.A.S. Those tremolos sound divine, definitely made my short list.
😺👍
Gain modulating by itself almost has a reverse sounding effect.
Yes! Especially with a sawtooth wave form selected.

The manual is easy to comprehend and once you grasp all of what this pedal can do…get ready! There is nothing like this pedal.
Cool i am first! cool Pedal
