I also have the FreakShift and the Doepfer A-126-2. I did a quick comparison and posted some pros and cons of both here:

Note that the Xaoc is not analog, but DSP based and can this easily implement stereo processing at an affordable price.

Interesting, I'm planning my next shifter, I don't have one, it will be the first!

So which is your favorite shifter, and why? do u think digital vs analog makes sense for a shifter comparison, or own both kind of approach do u think ?
