He is married with child. His daughter came up with the "thing" moniker for some of the Empress switches (I watch too much Youtube)

I thought about it. MY multi-effects is good for now, but if I ever really wanted to experiment with different pedal chains, I would want this. All those options with Empress quality - Wow!
I believe the less you have live the better....

OK.
We're not being very fair here.
None of us has any hands on with this thing.
The "live guys" like me seem to be out and out down on it.
But...
I think it's the wrong tool for what the "live guys" are trying to do.
I get the impression that live in a bar/church/etc. is not what it's intended for.
To play "live", lets face it, a simple setup works best unless you have your
guitar tech in the wings turning stuff on and off while you concentrate on
playing the damn song.
Live you don't need the 7 million things this gadget is capable of.
It's complete overkill and overcomplication of a simple thing.
Live you only need 5 or 6 sounds to get the job done.
Clean, crunch, dirty, clean modulated, dirty delayed,
and maybe a wah for 1 solo. (Wah gets tired fast.)

Grumpy has 1 new pedal with 600 options? downloadable??
the tech is just getting way to "out there" IMHO---
like
"records suck you need cassettes---- cassettes suck you need CD --- then blue ray then digital"
and now-------------------------------
WE ARE BACK TO FRIGGIN VINYL----
so--- Kempers and modelers and a bazillion pedals in 1 (get 3 of those on a board and BLOW YOUR MIND MAN) ----- then -- we will see ....
"Back to basics" how tro make great guitar tone with JUST a guitar -- a cable and an AMP--- heres how articles-----
so everyone will throw out the TECHNO toys and go back to OLD school-- and 10 years later the cycle will repeat---with newer shinier gadgets--
-- the wheel keeps turning ---
and the band plays on...................
