It is as the name suggests a Slap Echo.
It has only two buttons, MIX and REPEAT, and therefore we can not control the speed and .... it does not matter since it's a Slap Echo, so it makes for very short speeds and it is supposed to serve only one thing.
The casing is plastic, but it's good plastic. We can safely walk on it, the knob was okay the air.
My only concern is the fact that on one of my other pedals in the series, the battery does not work and I can use it on AC power.
Ah small detail not negligible, I find super sexy red tomato sauce, and the shape of the pedal, as often with Danelectro is really nice and typical 50's.

USE

The pedal works quite simply.
In fact, there are two sounds: either you push the mix and you leave the repeat in the first half of the race, and there is the sound rockabilly.
It's you do the opposite (lower mix, push the repeat) and you have a reverb sound a little cheap kind dub. By just so we can have a "shoegazer" effect to Sonic Youth.
In 5 minutes, we should find the sound that is what we want. Otherwise you have to sell the pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

Oh well there as often in Dano is the surprise. The sound is great.
It's clean, no noise, no click.
Little vintage look. The sound fits perfectly with the head of the pedal. The bottom conforms to the shape. It's cool. Super efficient. Nothing else to report.

A small sample very realistic to get an idea:

NOTICE GLOBAL

She made two effects (rockab or reverb) and just a few. If it simply, well Investment (20 euros !!!!!!!) is worth it.
Of course, I would do this choice, but it does not prevent me soon to opt for another delay if I need more functions, and to call again if necessary. At that price, why deprive yourself? Everyone should have at home or in backup in case of pedal that crap.
