As good as a space echo

Side by side comparison with a genuine Re-150 is striking: the sound of this pedal is really good, analog and warm. Thanks EHX

my favourite pedal

warm, gorgeous analog delay with modulation, with expression pedal can unlock even more possibilities.

Dark and noisy

I play in a post-rock band: think long chords, lots of reverb and delay - soundscapes. I bough this hoping to replace my Memory Man (which needs 24V). It's not a bad pedal by any mean, but it's just dark, much darker than the Memory Man. The repeats are also kind of noisy. As such it's a good effect to be "below" the rest, i wouldn't use it to let the repeats be heard on their own. The features are lovely, but ultimately useless to the way i ended up using it: tap tempo and subdivs are more important when the repeats need to be clearly in time and audible - which is not what this pedal excels at, in my opinion.

Great quality at a great price

This pedal has some very great features which can take it from a really nice musical delay to a choir of broken robots. The FX loop is a really cool feature which I can see myself having some fun with in the future. All in all amazing, buy one.

Great bitbucket

This delay is just great. I love the lofi undetailed repeats a lot. The fx send is really awesome as well.

If you look for a dirty delay this is a good choice,

I adore this pedal

I love this delay, an Analog delay with tap, and modulation, and control over that modulation, you already have my attention !!!

On top of that there is an expression pedal input (i have not used) and an fx loop that only affects the tails (again i have not used but may be changing that soon) All for a very sensible price.

To be honest i bought a memory toy , the nano analog EHX delay(a great budget delay option if you want one trick pony analog delay), fell in love with the mod setting , so much so, i bought another the next month.

So when I noticed this version with tap i instantly knew i would buy it, and it did not dissapoint. I can get the same tone from the memory toy on the Memory boy deluxe, but i have more control over the volume (the mem toy has volume issues occasionally) , more control over the mod so i have tweaked it to taste (it is capabale of some truly insane mods on the tails, i keep it set very subtle) the tone of the delay tail is dark, and the Tap function just seals it

I adore this pedal, as long as this functions i will have it on my main board,i dont need any other pedal it does EXACTLY what i need, and i cant wait to start playing around with the fx loop tails , might add a shimmer there

could be built a little better but no major issues, sound wise and options its top (but for analog sounds with or with out mod only) Size is fine given how much i love it

Gorgeous delay pedal for its money. Organic full sound, great implementation of subdivisions and sturdy construction.

Deluxe delay!

During the years I have tried many guitar delays but this is the one that gives me what I need - excellent sound, very easy handling, built to last and enough features to get me closer my sweet tone:)

Only remark is that it is actually almost twice the size of a standard stomp box.

awesome sound - awesome features ... too much features even to be precise ..would consider normal memory boy = D just equal sounding to the carbon copy in my opinion and better priced !
