Are The New Strymon V2 Pedals WORTH IT? | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

They finally did it. After all this time we've finally gotten an actually useful El Cap. But Strymon has brought far more to the table than just a MIDI El Cap. We're digging into four massively updated pedals from the Strymon lineup today that boast everything from comprehensive MIDI implementation to preset spillover. But with new features and a new price point we can't help but ask the question; Are they worth it? If you've got a V1, should you upgrade? If you have never owned one of these, is this the time to pull the trigger? Lets find out.
