    Distortion, it's not a bug, it's a feature....
    When I was a younger man, I did everything possible, to get a clean undistorted signal from my audio/music making gear.
    Fast forward a few years, and I'm wanting to pay for a gadget, that will dirty it up a bit. LOL
    But.....then I want a perfect signal path after that, to preserve the nuances of the distortion :-)

    Well, I watched for all of it and I still know very little other than it has one oscillator, a delay, a filter, some noise and uncertainty and you can patch with your fingers. Don't know if those pads are on/off or progressive capacitative, don't know what the jacks do, don't know what the waveshaping does. Some of the noises are very interesting but could I use them for my music? Probably not. I'm happy with the 0-Coast.
