Two Notes GENOME hardware, amateur product manager edition

[Ross Davies]

Amazing feedback here guys! Thank you so much! All noted down for review with our dev team. Here's the big question - considering a touch-screen, multi-core processor, encoders and foot-switches (plus all the remote connectivity you expect from Two notes), what would you expect to pay for this?

Good question. If it's a floor unit (smaller) and there's a roadmap of updates like Line6 or Fractal, anywhere between the 1,000 - 1,500 EUR would be an easier pill to swallow for most.
It depends on what eventually makes it into the unit, ease-of-use and how it sounds.

If it's going to be just one unit (like Fender did with the ToneMaster Pro), pricing it right is critical. If there's a suite of units (ie. Line6 Helix), then some of the "fat" could be trimmed for wider adoption on a lower price point (FM3 vs FM9 vs Axe FX).

We've also seen somewhat of a success in what NDSP did with their plugins which can be used on the Quad Cortex. If done right, that could work since you have the Genome software for desktop; I say could because there's always a risk of the temptation to withold updates from customers of the hardware unit & force it down as paid DLC (for instance, I haven't seen too many new amps added to the Quad Cortex vs the ones it launched with).

I think it comes down to how powerful it is. In my posts I've imagined it a lot like a "Hotone Ampero 2 Stomp Mk2" type device in terms of hardware, and that's a roughly 400-450 € box. So with more processing power, maybe a 700-1000 € price point?

I can't say much about the Genome tones atm. I haven't been able to try Genome even once since it released. It would not let me log in, and resets from your helpdesk have just ended up with "your 14-day trial has expired" state. I hope they can solve it as I'd love to take it for a spin.

I think @2dor nailed it with the $1000-$1500 price range. Essentially, something like the new Darkglass Anagram, but with more than three footswitches. They're around $1000-$1100. I'd expect yours to be in the same ballpark or slightly above it.

Darkglass is the perfect example! today they have released ANAGRAM, its $1,199.99 in the USA. By what i have seen in the few videos it is a powerfull future proof unit. So this amount of money is whats expected for a powerfull future and feauture proof unit that will get firmware development support over the next 5 years minimum.
