Timeline : OMG what a delay

11 years ago

I was amazed at the size of the foot print when I opened the box. I dont know why but I always expected this to be bigger than it is. Dont get me wrong this is a good thing I was just surprised.

It took around 30 mins of mucking around to get the hang of this pedal. The configurations and settings just took me a bit to get my head around but its all fairly easy really.

The delays sound amazing. The duel delay is just the dogs nuts really. I was also worried with this being a digital delay that it would sound hollow or just too clean like so many others. Well you can have that if you want but can also have a wide range of sounds to make it less digital and more analog if you want to go to the other extreme. Very versatile.

I am not sure I would use all of the delays on this the Hifi one isn't something I think I will get too much into but the ice and swell delays are fantastic. Makes you start thinking about ideas for songs that you never did before.

This is very expensive at the end of the day and you can't get around this. I saw that most of the 2nd hand units get snapped up really quickly so i wasn't worried if I didn't like it. That being said I think this has a full time slot on my pedal board for the foreseeable future.
