Delay pedals numrique programmable.
It has 2 inputs and 2 outputs (for Stereo), one between a Control suplmentaire pedals, and an output for headphones.
Possibility to supply the bte THROUGH a conventional power supply 9volts or 6 AA batteries. It consumes 200mA.
There are 11 DIFFERENT modes (including a sampler function), and the possibility to record four different rglages thanks to memory.
Tap tempo function, setting the number of Tone rpetion the delay, and delay.
The delay can be up to 23 seconds.

Specially mentioned in the manual, clear and comprehensive (and french!), It is essential to capture the many nuances in the operation of the device.

UTILIZATION

This is part of the pedals SERIES of "twin pedal" boss, so this is a case imposing, heavy, strong and has two footswitches.
The first allows you to enable or disable the effect, the second to move from one memory or set the delay of the delay thanks to the tap tempo function.

The original of this lies in his pedals LCD screen (which can be retro-Claire), which displays the delay time (in mili-seconds, seconds, or beats per minute!).
Rgler for this delay, two options: use the button Crant "delay time", which adjusts prcisement trs, or else the tap tempo will adapt the delay to the tempo and that you specify (it can fit al black, the eighth, the triplets ...).

Backing up rglages is very practical in concert, and can switch from one another delay trs quickly without re-rgler anything. Just press on the pedals right to dfile the memory.
This also serves to adjust the pedals tap tempo (just hold down two seconds to switch from one mode to another).
In short it is enjoyable to use TRS, we can have lots of different sounds without stooping to turn the knobs, I put 10 without hsiter.

SOUND QUALITY

Then there are 11 DIFFERENT modes that are selected by rotating the knob prvu this.
It sounds great, but some reprsentent intrt less than others ...

In addition to the sampler function (which allows you to run the sentences of a maximum of 23 seconds, being able to overlay tracks), the modes are the most interressants to me:
- Tape: tape echo simulation
- Analog: Imitation of an analog delay
- Standard: Digital Delay classical
- Smooth: A delay in the crmeux trs.
- Modulate: Adds a modulation effect
Other effects are less interressants my taste, but can still be used.

Well it's certainly numriques, but imitations of analog delay are correct, sound and other modes of Manir any convincing (especially in an effects loop).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, bought used 160 euros, I do not regret my investment. It is a tool trs pro, solid, no problem rpond all needs can have a guitarist Contents of delay.

I have not tried a lot of delay before you buy it, but I have long t tempted by the versatility of its competitor Line 6 DL4. The latter unfortunately rput as for his many failures, I decided that boss and if c'tait again I think I do it again given the quality-price ratio.
