Value For Money : Poor
Analog Delay 0 -> 600 ms
3 knobs: Mix / time delay / number of repetitions + switch modulation

UTILIZATION

No need for manual, these are the basic settings of a delay.

SOUND QUALITY

Pedal used with a Les Paul Faded on a Kustom bass amp.

So first I find the sound of hell (I also have a TC-Electronic Flashback is a sacred reference) but not against the masses in large settings it has a short delay to thicken the sound , a long delay for solo hard rock using a saturated, clear sound and the modulation switch is nice.
Then the boring thing is that if it exceeds half of the blend knob is not the signal delay (it seems that in an effects loop that has its uses), if more than half the knob from the pedal feedback in self oscillation.
On top of that the overall sound level is increased when the pedal engages.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months I have had a Danelectro 600ms (excellent value), a Boss DSD3 (equivalent to a DD3) and a TC Electronics Flashback (a sacred pedal).

I thought Toy resell the Memory, but I keep it, even with all its faults (auto swing easy, gain volume, blend used as the first half of the race) has a grain, a warmth that I have hard to find on other delay.
Usually the debate / D makes me smile, especially when you compare the stuff cheap digital with analog expensive.
But this one I admit that I tilt to the grain and wild side that starts oscillation in the car for a bit of nothing ....
