Idoru P-1

For years I've been gigging with just an acoustic guitar, which although fun and working well, is not where my heart lies. I grew up on bands, loud music, rock, pop punk, loud electric guitars, etc. and acoustic just didn't quite cut it for me.
I've considered backings before but never really liked the look of someone standing and playing around with their phone/laptop/iPad/etc. to start songs. I've also seen peoples performances fail due to phones having no connectivity, OR getting a call mid song and cutting everything out!
Now, it's all in a simple pedal! Out of view of the audience, looking like an effects pedal for the guitar, not a laptop taking up stage space, or a phone looking like a distraction!

Simple to use in terms up set up, and there's plenty of guidance available for everyone! My live shows have been completely changed with this pedal for the better! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add more to their live shows!

I ran into several issues immediately after purchasing the Idoru. The first click of the metronome was not audible, the metronome flash did not appear to be properly synced with the song’s metronome clock, and there was a loud buzzing noise at the end of tracks caused by a firmware bug.

I find it difficult to understand how these problems were not identified during testing, especially considering the pedal is already released and being sold commercially. Core functions such as metronome accuracy and clean audio playback should work reliably out of the box.

It should not be the customer’s responsibility to uncover firmware bugs or troubleshoot fundamental functionality. The concept of the product is promising, but my initial experience was rather disappointing.
