Looks very fiddly to set up. Soundwise, this geezer makes everything sound good... He must've hit those tiny buttons over 100 times to get that EVH sound; I wouldn't have the patience - & then he says "that's how easy it is to edit...". 
It certainly has a lot in it, and will be brilliant for folks who enjoy, and have the skills, to bring a sound together. &, it's easy to spend $250+ on a single pedal, so $400 for this is only 2 pedals for a huge range of options.
Now, this is the interesting part - it looks to have excellent connectivity options.

Generally, I like processors a lot for building preset sounds that are very consistent. Setting them up with a computer is the way to go. They’re nice when doing a set list of widely varying sounds. You can build a preset for those really unique-sounding songs, plus some more generic, all-purpose type of presets. That’s generally been my approach, anyway.
Where I prefer traditional pedals is when it comes to ad hoc changes during an event.
I’ve used processors live and had my laptop connected to it to make those quick on-the-fly changes. It does work, but it’s still not as quick or straightforward as just stepping on a switch or quickly turning a knob.
That said, I’m not against processors; I’ve used them and they have some good applications. The Hotone would interest me if it had more flexibility in operation. It does look like a really interesting studio piece, though.

Smitty, If this unit sounds 1/2 as good as it does on the demos and the last two effects peddles I got were the same price each.
It would be great if I could patch my guitar amps in this unit like a AX-EFX-3
My intention was to get a small peddle board that I could add the extra effects that my main peddle board does not have room for.
and the small footprint of this unit is just fine. And their has to be a reason this unit sold out so fast
I have rack effects that are top shelf who wants to pack a rack around gig to gig. Will see how it works out
I don't plan using this as a stand alone unit just icing on the cake.
