«  One of the few to have. »

This is an analog delay pedal very well made (as well say at once), "hand-made".
It may have a signal delay of up to 600 milliseconds.

There are two versions: a "bright" and "dark". Here it is the "dark". The first seems more versatile, but it has more character, with a more matte ... dark.
It is better to listen to the demo for Guitar Shop
be sure to love.

We can talk about the finish that is original is impeccable: the robot balance a beam from his eyes where the LED ... cool ^ ^
This is THE most beautiful finish that I have ever seen on a pedal, and this is one of the (stupid) reasons that prompted me to make the acquisition.

UTILIZATION

A leaflet is available on the internet (https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/manuals/E300 20MANUAL.pdf%), and setup is very simple, with three buttons, a switch, and possibly an internal setting:
- The first knob is used to adjust the delay time to 300 milliseconds
- The second is the "blend" that determines the mixing of signals (dry and modified)
- The third rule the number of echoes

The switch toggles between a true-bypass signal, more bright, in a buffered signal that passes the trails of delay after deactivation of the effect, and that makes it a little darker, which has a very interesting the sound.

An internal TRIM adjusts the signal gain of the delay.

It comes complete with a touch of originality, simple to use: I love it!

SOUND QUALITY

I had lots of delay, shop or not.
Its level is one of the best that exists, and I even find it is much better than the version of "bright" (note: many believe the opposite). With all this delay is obvious. You want to leave all the time on while it gives a new dimension to sound, even with discrete settings.
The Maxon AD900 I owned had the same magic, and few delays you do that! Only for me delay has something more: it was a robot.
Oh yes, he has something else: the most beautiful and usable self-oscillations that I have ever heard.

OVERALL OPINION

A must have.
This is one of the best analog delays, with the old DMM, Maxon AD900, Boss and dm2 (got the last two). These delays are competing for the top of the table but their character is different. The echo 300/600 dark aptly named, and I love her for that reason.
