Bought this on a whim because it looked cool. (yeah i know) But I have some great analog delays to compare it to so... Has your typical controls. Delay, feedback, mix...what more could you need right? I know it's supposed to be true bypass but I did detect some tone suckage so I put it in my bypass looper to be safe. You never know these days. Some pedals that advertise the true bypass function are total tone suckers.
UTILIZATION
This may be a newer pedal but it is fancy. I'm used to nice pricey tap tempo analog delays with stereo options. No such thing here. This is in the vein of that Carbon Copy delay that Dunlop was so successful with last year. Very simply 3 knob layout. No frills. Just tone. I was shocked by the great build quality as I was honestly expecting something cheaper. These way huge pedals are impressive. I've gotta check out more.
SOUND QUALITY
No tap tempo. And the delays don't go very long either. Honestly this isn't a gripe for me because I don't ever do anything longer than a second. I bought this to see how the sound was. Oscillation is easy to get out of this pedal which is a good indicator of how truly analog it is. I compared this to a few of my other delays and tonally it sounds a lot like my old Maxon analog delay. It's too bright to sound like my Carbon Copy. Overall I think you get what you pay for. It does sound like an analog delay.
OVERALL OPINION
Considering the price, this pedal isn't anything special, but it isn't bad either. I suppose if you like simplicity and quality it's a great delay. Personally I think I'll go back to my Maxon but I think the Aquapuss is about as good. Maybe even better built too. The limited time might be a deal breaker for some people. I didn't mind.
