Erica Synths Zen Delay 4-stars Reviews

Great but doesn`t do it for me

With all my love for Erica Synth I didn`t find a place for the item in my setup. Same happened with the Acidbox. The build quality is nice. The sound is nice but it`s quite doesn`t work for me.

overall design is so silk and sexy that you want to just touch it. the unboxing experience was different from other effect pedals. the features are great , adjustable tube overdrive, Analogue multimode filter with resonance, 5 Delay modes ... you name it.

Very high quality stereo delay unit that is unlike any other that I have tried or seen.

Very fun to play with using ANY Audio source, from Vocals, instruments, drums, field recordings, live or recorded material.

I do find there are some issues and missed opportunities that hav finally made me decide to return the product.

I think there will be a Zen Delay 2 for sure in the not so distant future which hopefully improve on these points, and some may even be fixed in updates.

The issues for me are:

- The digital delay high pitched noise that surely can be called a bug.

- The mix issue that prevents parallell filtering without noticable doubleing because it's post dsp conversion even when the delay is turned off.

- No way to modulate parameters with CV or other input.

- Would be great to have even more delay modes like reverse and more!
