Hotone Omni series

These look pretty cool, particularly the acoustic simulator.

Who knows when I'll ever play a show again, but stacking that acoustic simulator sound with an amp sounds potentially fun. What would be extra great is a phase switch and an onboard way to delay it a few milliseconds.

The IR loader seems pretty good. None of the demos I've checked out seem to be using a real amp though, and by the time a reactive load is factored into the cost it's not really that cheap compared to the Two Notes stuff.

Well, it sounds no worse than entire $2000 guitars that claim to do the same thing, like those acoustasonic Teles, but some day I hope they crack the code of amplifying acoustic guitars with more feedback resistance than a microphone.

These seem pretty decent.

I have a few of the skyline pedals, and a mini amp head.
Quite good for quality and the wallet.

Haven't owned any of their stuff yet.

The IR loader has more practical appeal to me at the moment. Seems a little better than the Mooer Radar for similar money.

i own a skyline tape eko and it's a great pedal. I had a wally looper for a while, i think these pedals are great and cheap
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.
