The Gatekeeper works with the included 18V DC power supply. US price announced is $149.
Pigtronix also unveiled the new version of the Echolution echo pedal. It retains the two Tap and Engage footswitches from the original, as well as the Repeat, Mix, Preset, Depth, Time and Speed knobs, but Pigtronix completed the control panel with six new features, each with various options. You can, for example, choose the LFO waveform, select one the 5 filter types, the taps (Phi included), etc. The pedal still offers stereo operation, with two inputs and two outputs and the USB port is still present.
