Just to flesh-out your response, let me add that the Aura Sixteen Pedal doesn't have the EQ, compression, built-in tuner, and mixing capabilities that the F1 Aura has. The F1 Aura takes all the adjustable parameter features of the original, large-format Aura Acoustic Imaging Blender Pedal and mates these features with updated electronic and Aura technology. All this in an onboard preamp! Even the Aura Spectrum DI Pedal can't do all the things that the F1 Aura Preamp can do. The F1 Aura is a sleek and unobtrusive (Taylor-esque, as you say, but with a tuner) preamp addition to the Martin Performing Artist Series upper-end guitar models.
