Default LR Baggs Align series

Anyone using any of these Baggs pedals? The Align Session most intrigues me, followed by the Align Reverb. I play various acoustics with different pickups through a Fishman Loudbox Mini, which has a nice sound and a few bells and whistles onboard already, so I'm not compelled to add anything, but have read glowing reviews of these pedals.

Any thoughts from anyone, both users and skeptics?

I would also be interested in first hand Align Session feedback. Over the years to boost my guitar for single note leads I've tried quite a few options to fatten the tone and not sound like a tube screamer (which I've also tried with the distortion turned all the way down -- actually not bad...). Seems like it might make a good boost pedal and Sweetwater mentions that usage on their website.

Guitar Player Review: They liked the Session and the Reverb.

I own an LR Baggs Align Reverb pedal and can say it's the smoothest most natural sounding reverb I've ever played. Granted if you aren't me that really won't help at all but while I also like my HOF Mini reverb, the Align is far more natural sounding. I have no idea at all why one pedal sounds different than another but I can tell you the Align Reverb just sounds more "acoustic".

If you're on the fence, get off and buy one.

You won't regret it,
PJ

I am also interested in the Align EQ pedal since it also offers notch filtering. Nice set of features in a small footprint. I cant wait to try one of the Align Reverb pedals. Most places seem to have them on order.
