Typed vintage analog delay no longer manufactured, max delay around 300ms (a bit too short for my taste).
made in japan
3 knobs: delay time (speed), echo (effect level) and intensity (number of repetitions)
case rose to the indestructible boss, opportunities or battery powered (9V)
short, the classic.
UTILIZATION
We must hang a little time to find its sound, because the pedal, despite the somewhat limited duration of the max effect, offers a broad range of delays and various reports.
the knobs are sensitive enough, we must take the time to refine its settings.
no manual for my part (tope cars on ebay), but it is not necessary, I knew what kind of delay I wanted.
no problems with buzz when you put the end of the string in the effects loop of the amp and powered by a transformer boss. otherwise, as mentioned below, it actually makes a bad breath and too far.
SOUND QUALITY
Here is really the highlight of the pedal which is also regrettable that it is so rare (too bad it is no longer made!), Especially as I find it far superior to the series developed by Digital Delays from Boss (of course, wider possibilities, but at sound reproduction is the day and night).
being fan of delays including psyches type used by a pompei David Gilmour, I wanted something close to the old tape echo and have a significant impact on the sound, especially since I use a lot this effect associated with a bottleneck.
Trifouille the knobs when playing, it's psyche in depth (see the Floyd Saucerful of Secrets live at pompei version, the intro song).
if you turn the knob to last donf, it turns quickly to feedback, but increased just enough, this knob "dirty", alters the sound a bit like the tape echo, while making out its character and grain.
he really a grain vintage and authentic, very typical and will not please everyone. I love, that's what I was looking for, even if I use more my arpeggio of ibanez ad9, much more gentle and unobtrusive.
in some ways it recalls the deluxe memory man, but for less money, even if the memory man can go even further in sound palette.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two months in the States bought used via ebay for just over 150 euros with shipping (though I escaped the customs on this one)
I love vintage color and the ability to draw sounds really psyches, especially in combination with a bottleneck.
profound, very typical that colors the sound a bit like a tape echo.
for a delay longer manufactured, rare and vintage sound, I find in my case not excessive price (there are nine recent delays much more expensive). it is true that the hardest part is to find one, and have an opportunity like I had. but it seems to me that y 'has from time to time on ebay, including the United States.
the best option would be reissued this pedal boss, the sound characteristics of various existing digital sets.
The only complaint I would have liked to have a max delay time a little longer, like a memory of man, for example.
short, if you love delays typed (vintage) and music psyche, this one is for you!
