i think they went for a stealth release because the software currently shipping with the Rang III is 'incomplete' (i.e. this version of the machine doesn't do what was initially promised of it during the development stages) and this annoyed some in the boutique/corksniffer effects pedal community.

i think that once the machine is ready with the next gen of its software it'll be pretty good.  For the time being i think i'll stick with my Digital Echoplex though...

yeah the comic sans is pretty unforgiveable, but I'm kinda into the no-frills look on that box.  quantized slice replacement?  sure!  that is a tasty list of features.
