Everything has been said I think there is more information around on the internet and their website is very well stocked ...

Only regret the impossibility of looper while simultaneously using a delay.
For the rest, the character speak for themselves, we are dealing with the Rolls Royce of delay.
Some details about version 2.0 of the firmware:
It has 20 preset banks, 40 presets, fully programmable, software-basically handled by the usb.
We can now reprogram the footswitch assignment.
The pedal can now go on a self-oscillation (feedback to 110%).
We have a spillover, which changes gradually to another delay when changing preset (and not only for the bypass function).

UTILIZATION

It is taken in hand quickly enough in the end even if not inevitably escapes the appearance gasworks. After reading the manual, nothing wrong.

I still took time to understand that by connecting an expression pedal M-Audio EX-P "had to put the" trim "at least to use it.

We must spend time to shape the sound you want, but ultimately it is indeed there and stocked in his store, he budge any time soon ...

The lineup of auxiliary pedals is not immediate, but it can really set everything we can think of (including changing the assignment of the pedal footswitch functions other than what they were intended, and for each preset separately ...).

To any manipulation after unplugging the pedal, we return exactly to its previous state.

The strength of the machine is flawless.
This transformer also elsewhere (a bit big and bulky for a pedalboard but good) ...

The connection to the PC via USB is most simply.

SOUND QUALITY

Quite simply, the sound is perfect.

All the delays have an interest and personality.
It is possible to achieve the same type of rendering an analog when you want to play with self-oscillation.
The loop is full of surprises with the controls it provides.

It can emulate ring modulators, the rotary, chorus, reverb and other good stuff that the pedal is not explicitly provided for it originally ... It was truly free rein to experiment.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for two days, but I'm a big user of delays / loops and I already know it's going to be the centerpiece of my pedalboard for many years, regardless of my education (folk, rock, electro-rock, etc.).

Eventide is constantly updated, the last date of January 2010, and I came with ... This rule also the problem of spillover effects between banks, which was criticized by a previous opinions.

Ok we approach the 400 € for a stompbox, but it's really the ultimate weapon for those who want a hefty delay.
A set may be in competition with the Line6 DL-4 which models can be complementary. When I am famous and wealthy (...) I have the 2 and I sync via midi-clock? In the meantime, and after having tried a few, my choice was the Eventide and I would do the same if the opportunity were to arise again.
