Anyone use an Elektron Analog Drive?

Has anyone tried this? Interesting combo of analog dirt circuits with digital flexibility/patches etc. I've gone from a big pedalboard to living without one to slowly building one back up, so the idea of combining 8 dirty boxes with multiple settings into one is an appealing one. Would love to hear people's thoughts if they've tried one in the flesh. I'm in Canada and finding this pedal in stores has been a challenge.

I've never used one, but I DO really like the idea of having that much flexibility with analog circuits.

Yeah, I use a kemper profiler and for amp-based tones I couldn't be happier. But I still love the sound of a good fuzz or OD into an amp. The pedal models in the Kemper don't scratch that itch the way the amp profiles do. But I use several different guitars and have profiles tweaked for each one, so I love the idea of a dirt pedal with patches so that I can have the same thing - each setting tweaked for each guitar. I haven't seen anyone do this with analog signal paths though.

I'm still trying to find one in the wild to actually test out. The idea is great but who knows if the tones are actually as good as individual pedals.
