«  An excellent time to who loves hot and velvety ... »

Everything has already been said

It is a MXR: it is both robust veeeeeery but rather "soft" in operation (stompswitch is quite smooth and quiet, turn the knobs in butter etc ...). Personally I am quite a fan, but it is only my opinion

I bought it to complete my rig "natural" pedal (Boss TU2 MXR Noise Clamp + + + Amt SS11 EHX stereo electric mistress carbon copy + + + cabinet EHX 44 magnum). The carbon copy is connected after the mistress in the loop of the AMT

I next simulated rig (POD HD + EHX 44 magnum + cabinet) acting B-Rig

UTILIZATION

again no big news in my remarks from other reviews, but still two highlights:

> Why MXR puts its power supply on the side? In a pedalboard a little full, it is quite complicated ... So much so in my case I am forced to disconnect in when the pedal board is at rest
> Too bad Inrush modulation is not possible to walk also ... Especially that little chorus is really nice (I'll post)
> Thanks be given to the one who put here a trick with visual cues for setting the time ... It is clear that with the current gear that tends to systematize the tap tempo, find a pedal that adjusts "old" and no scaling takes a little time to start ... No annoying in the studio or repeat, for against, live between a resumption of Pink Floyd and U2 can have time to panic: D

SOUND QUALITY

This touches the very large gain on this pedal ...

So far, my only experience with the time / echo were:
> An Ibanez DE7 ... Anything and everything has been written about this pedal, especially here. For me it was fair for the price no more, but with true versatility
> A POD 2.0, then two POD HD so I was a little afraid of the grain within the pod 2.0, both the time and echoes the POD HD is compelling.

I was looking for something warm and natural, although my use of time is rather wide (from rockabilly to short echo time a little long on the metal solo, to use "pseudo (but really pseudo-huh) gilmourien" .

Suffice to say that the beast completely meets expectations .... While the max relatively short period prohibits beckien violoning but other than that the pedal can do everything strictly, from the music to the most noisy. The common denominator is the stamp, rather lighter than other analog delays (I have long hesitated with EHX memory boy), but warm at all times.

The little chorus is pretty nice ... more at the beginning I was using little but it goes I find it uses.

OVERALL OPINION

Brief

A very hot and always musical time ... This is the main argument of the pedal, but it is a strong argument!

For me the best time in this format ... Guitarists more "alternative" may, however, prefer her memory boy, I found less ... for once indomitable

To conclude: not about to leave my pedal board!

I will complete my opinion after testing the pedal in front of a good clean amp ... I will draw upon the DV Mark Galileo my fellow guitarist with a "linear" chaining (guitar => distortion => modulation => time => in the amp), seen as the grain, I suspect this little MXR VERY well to walk like that too.
