Hi FunkenGrooven & Guys
Goran & I both have their Bad Monkey pedal & it's pretty damn good.

This new range appears to look OK.
I must go search for some actual sound samples,
perhaps they have some on their site?

Hi Guys
There only seems to be one demo (pity) of the HardWire� TL-2 Metal Distortion:
http://www.digitech.com/products/Hardwire/HW_MetalDistortion.php

They have some very simple/tried before? But innovative features like:
http://www.digitech.com/Hardwire_Innovation.php
* A plastic knob protector-cover to stop the knobs being bumped or reset.
* Glow in the dark foot pedal.
* Already fitted with a Velcro on the bottom.

And it appears that they might even have fitted an internal DC to DC inverter for higher operating voltages.
http://www.digitech.com/Hardwire_Technology.php

Apologies if this sounds like an advert for Digitech, I am not affiliated with them in any way.

Regards Dr. Bob

Hi Laurie & Guys

FYI
I have it, from a very reputable, & reliable source, that there is no tonal difference between the Original Made in the USA & the newer MI-China Bad Monkey.

All SMD-SMT Components, & beats my Screamer.

Don't go searching for an original TS808 & $1000US, this bags it down just as good, but you'll need to run it into a real tube amp.
Just like the original Screamers.

Read the reviews; The hype is justified.

I tried most the DigiTech Hardwire series in GC the other day though I too am not a fan of DigiTech.

Every Hardwire unit sounded surprisingly good, except I didn't fiddle with the Delay or Tuner. The Metal, Chorus, & Valve Distortion really shined. The aluminum knobs felt like thin-walled shells but the pedals sounded fine. We were in a rush or I would have taken more time & to report at greater length.

Still, Boss is like the standard. I really like TC Electronics gear.. their G-system is phenomenal. I, like you would like to see analog make a comeback but unfortunately, it isn't what sells.
