I bought mine after playing with it in a store for an hour... watched the videos later for ideas. I only offered them as a way of understanding what they offer and what they don't...

The TC does sound good and it's very flexible. I found a review here -

One thing that's also really useful about this pedal is the input gain which could act as a buffer in the signal chain. The downside for me is that I'm trying to run this board off of one power source - the Fuel Tank, and the TC has to be plugged directly to the mains. I guess it's nothing a 3-outlet AC plug couldn't fix though...

The Strymon demo sounds great to my ears - a bit warmer so there's probably some EQ/coloration going on somewhere but it still sounds good and will plug into current setup with no issues.

This Soundblox 2 Orbital Modulator looks interesting too and has a ton of options. Sounds great in the demo and has the option of being controlled by an expression pedal, MIDI, or the new Hot Hand controller.
