FlipFloater from Basel brought 2 great new tools to Dresden for Circuit Control this year: Ugly Face, a distortion tool and a new delay that is still a prototype. Ugly Face does exactly what the name says: distortion!!!!! And it does so at a high level with a sound that's quite something. If you can solder an Ugly Face at one of Claude's workshops, then do it.
I forgot to ask for the name of the delay, it's a chamber of wonders. More info and a video soon.
