« Avoid this like the plague. »

This is a digital delay pedal. It has your typical setup, with an on/off switch, time, repeats, and level knobs. It has a very limited sweet on the time, so if you're interested in long delays this definitely isn't the pedal for you.

It has stereo outs and true bypass, which are very nice features you don't usually see on pedals at this price point.

The enclosure is surprisingly well made, its solid medal and seemed very rugged. Honestly its probably the nicest thing about the pedal.

UTILIZATION

Setting it up and using it is very straight forward, like any other delay pedal with the same setup.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal sounds horrendous. I don't know if I can properly convey just how bad it was.

This is a digital delay so all the repeats should be pristine copies of the original signal. This was not the case. The delays sounded grainy and distorted. And it sounded like digital clipping, which is the worst sounding distortion out there.

The advertised delay time is something like 600ms, which is already really low since digital delays aren't limited like analog. In reality though mine had much lower delay time. On maximum time settings I was barely past a slapback style delay.

OVERALL OPINION

From what I've said its pretty obvious that the pedal I bought sucked. Honestly, I've heard some decent sounding clips of this pedal so I probably got a very very defective one.

However, there are much better delays out there for the same price or just a little more. Even just looking at the specs this pedal leaves something to be desired, especially in the way of delay time. So if you're in the market for an inexpensive delay pedal I'd recommend looking elsewhere. The BOSS DD3 is a great option with better features for only a little more, and the Danelectro D-8 is only $25 and has essentially the same features but sounds great.
