I have been waiting for this device for ten years! This is great.
But my experience with digital effects processors in the audio ___domain, both guitar and recording gear, is the gear's AD and DA converters are super important. The software and digital side is important too, but if those 44kHz, 20 bit converters do a poor job, the units audio will subtly suffer, and emotional content from the playing will be masked.
There's a huge difference in sound quality of digital units on the market.
I'm hoping with the nature of the unit, that I would get very high quality components across the board. Seeing as every patch developed is dependent on that quality, and that I'd probably buy only one of these, and that I'm willing to spend more than on a normal, non-programmable pedal, then the unit better be seriously high performing.
High quality balanced +4dBu line level ins and outs on a rack unit version of these. That would be the next unit to do. Or even AES/EBU digital ins and outs and a wordclock in!
