So this is a classic delay pedal: Mix, Reapeat, Time, except that there are 11 different modes and three different kinds of delay and a button that allows a dose effect variation with the type of delay selected .
The tape delay, "strip" echo gives a low-bandwidth and slightly saturated, the modualtion will enhance this effect even more, the digital mode is an echo very transparent and the modulation is a vibrato, the analog mode is half- way between the two and a chorus effect is added.

There are different modes: the black, the triplet to dotted eighth note (depending on the tempo typed, or the time position of the button), the mode gives slap to have a real precision in the "time" to make slapback , the method used to swell violoning play automatically (but the rise time is not programmable) mode is a ducking compressor will decrease the effect when playing the guitar and do back when it does not play very helpful but not configured either. The multiplayer modes and Ping Pong is their any reason to be in stereo, the reverse mode plays an inverted echo what you just played.

Note also the very good function "trails" that can let him finish the course so that echo off the pedal. Output on a gently echo is often better than the cut that is a natural with the switch of a conventional pedal.

It is completely stereo inputs and outputs, it can then be used for a lot of things alone, mostly synths ...

So we are dealing with an echo pedal that makes 1000 more things than just a delay pedal, but all the more can be disengaged for a very classic delay.

UTILIZATION

So there are lots of different combinations to achieve, but we do not get lost, everything is very clear. The edition of all the sounds are simple, move the knob well, they have some resistance uniform throughout all knobs avoiding blunders and accidents of a misplaced foot. We must get used cepandant a little on / off and tap tempo pedal. Indeed, the pedal is a two-position switch, push the pedal normally to have access to tap tempo and push more deeply to activate / deactivate the effect. It should not be afraid to nag a bit then. I am making a lot sitting in my studio and I did not press hard enough sometimes to turn off the effect ... It is a blow to take and I think it is very fast, and stand the problem should not arise almost the contrary in this position is that the tap tempo and is on.off proved most effective and really well thought out. Nothing to do with bosses. Noted that the LED is switched on all the time trying to flash which is very practical to type the tempo before starting the effect.

Unlike many other pedals that are divided in "time" in several different range of values, I love u have one mode that covers the slowest tempo as the fastest, in addition it allows indeed make a fool just playing with the knobs!

I did not have the manual ... I have not needed except for the "trail" a very original, but the line6 site is well done for that.

EDIT, after 4 years of concerts and rehearsals: The principle of two levels in the switch of the pedal is actually not annoying to enable or disable the effect, it just takes a little nag, and I never had worries, the pedal is very solid. However it is spoiled for tap tempo, I have a group of melodic pop rock that the delay should be slow and perfectly in rhythm (like the black or the eighth on slow tempos), most of the adjustments that I do not live very successful and sometimes I go into the studio a lot of time finding the right pace (As on other I often delay the first time, I am not a rhythm-huh!) Enough galley to live, I think to change just for this function and I lower my note here ... I am eyeing a few pedal Capistan Strymon.

SOUND QUALITY

Nickel! really nothing to say we can do anything you want, the transparency of the digital mode is really well done, the tape mode is a bit grotesque, but all the better, sometimes you push a little impact in the cartoon to hear them and then if we do not like the analog mode will everyone agree ...

Everything works perfectly, two small flats note however, that swell and ducking modes are not configurable and I find the time to put together a little slow ... but hey, at the base is a delay pedal not Ebow or a volume pedal and not a compressor either, it's already really good it can do that.

I have so far used with guitar in mono, but I expect that the opportunity to test it on a stereo!

EDIT: I always like the grain of much this pedal, it is a caricature, but if you like why not, sometimes there are small "jump" the pedal is all alone, as if I moved the Time knob .. . I think today I'd like something more stable and also more "flexible, less strong, less parody (The same, I want a Capistan!)

OVERALL OPINION

Well I use it for a long time, I promise I would do one up if I need to correct something ... I've had five days ... but I played about 5 to 6 hours per day (vacation power!) so it's not a thoughtless opinion.

I love it in all possibility, coupled with my phaser and my whammy sounds I can not ... The tap tempo really easy to use (not like my boss phaser where it takes 2s pressed the switch to switch to tap tempo that may cause the effect, not practical at all, and it really takes time ...) And as it is particularly heavy There's no problem when the slip or triggers when you play the tap tempo.

I played on the boss and ibanez delays ... I have not found better than the line6. It is as good or better than the other two delays for basic ... but it is stuff and more!

I'll not put 10 because the echo is the slowest and 2s it is still a bit short for use as a JamMan for example. So not so much the possibility to use it to loop but it may be the only proper function to delay it does not.

A second small problem, it is obliged to have a personal power supply, the use of a string leading to a big buzz medium very aggressive and very bad ...
