OVERALL OPINION

I bought this pedal a little random chance, trusting this brand as well as different opinions found on the internet (I was expecting to find a DD7 boss at the base).

so it's a delay pedal, designed for guitarists, but I use it as an effect send / return with my mixer (electronic music so).

Basic presets are quite interesting and complementary, but the real big advantage is that you can customize the effect itself via an editor.
when I bought it I did not know that was possible on the gear that price, and I must say that the editor lets go far enough ... there's a bunch of programmable parameters is not just a harmless option.

to get the parameters available, here is a screenshot of the app:

there are a total of four knobs:
-Delay
-Feedback
Fx-level
-Choice of preset

only the first two are customizable, but against three pieces of information you can give to those the change.
it may seem small, but in practice if you like a little tweaking it becomes quite complex and it is possible to actually create a unique effect.

modifiable characteristics are each connected to a line graph divided into five points.
for example, you can decide when a knob is left in the delay time is 980ms, it is in the middle 6000ms and it is all right to 72ms ... so basically turning completely from left to right and increases down time.

so we can make "zig zag" modulation by turning in one direction, which is very interesting from my point of view, especially when one takes into account three parameters are assignable knob, each with its own specific curve.

creating a smart TonePrints it is possible to have a sort of hybrid effect in the desired position, and go even beyond the modulation by setting the second potentiometer values ​​/ right choice.
it does not look necessarily at first but it can be quite complicated combinations in practice ...

I do not know if this is very clear, but in summary I would not have thought I could change so radically the sound just by turning two knobs.

my experience is that of someone who does electronics for a guitar I think the interest is less but this pedal remains excellent and very likely higher than the DD7 boss ...

in any case more "unique" because everyone can design their stuff very accurately by leaning a little above.

that's basically, I use it for a month and a half and I am very satisfied!

the price is down almost saw the possibilities of customization, it is not excluded that I take a second if the opportunity presents itself (or a "hall of fame" also programmable reverb)

more:
- High sound quality.
- To create its own effect (the real big interest for me).
- Price.
- Quality workmanship.

Cons:
- One place to charge his personal effects, shame!
- It is not possible at the moment to export its settings ... which means any note on a sheet (+ screenshot) if you do not want to "lose" your values ​​by creating another TonePrint ... (The black spot for me).

So I put him 8/10, I think it is hard to beat in this range ...
