There are some great sounds here but...
I think simply put this was released far too early and they promised too much. Way overhyped. Poor midi control. Pretty disappointing overall but there's potential.

For the price...
For the price this is so worth it.... For a few moments of bit reduced noise or for full on crushed noise it sounds fantastic.

Ridiculously comfortable
The most comfortable guitar I've ever played. The sound required some amp tweaking, I couldn't switch from another guitar to this and not have to tweak.

Nice improvements
Just as mental as the last one but now in stereo. The ability to change the clock settings on the MKII is a massive improvement, even if I love the noisy clock of the MKI

So many options
Another pedal that need midi control. There so many sounds available here it really just depends on how patient you are.

This is a fun one
Midi control is a must with this. Truthfully I'd like a little more control but this really is a great pedal

Not as versatile as I was expecting
It's a fun pedal but with a lot of very similar sounds. You might find a use for it but if you really want a synth pedal get the Enzo

Perfectly acceptable
It isn't the most versatile pedal but there are some very useable sounds in it especially for lower gain

Mushy
Really struggled to get useful tones from this. It never felt particularly clear or articulate. Wasn't a fan of the build either.

I can't say there's really anything special about it, but it gets the job done
It's an overdrive.... It's got mids.... It does what you need it to do. Ohh and it sucks tone when it's off

Hated it
I got this when it first came out. I was expecting an upgrade to the DD-20 but it felt more like a DD-3 with extra functions. There's a lot of options with this pedal. At the time they could only be adjusted on the pedal and it wasn't a fun process at all. I imagine now it's a more manageable pedal but at the time it was a nightmare.

Kind of want another
I think I regret selling it... Kind of want another. I wouldn't say it's the best chorus but it definitely has a vibe of it's own.

First and favourite digital delay
I'm not sure why but I've never found a digital delay i've liked as much. The DL4 while not really a similar delay was close as far inspiration and the Walrus Mako was fun but still fell short.

Noisy, but no necessarily in a bad way...
I know people say you can't use this live because it's noisy and you can here the lfo etc.. For me these feel like reasons to use it live! It can really add to the vibe, stick a delay after it make the noise part of the show... On the other hand I found it infuriating to record with.

Ridiculous
1 minute to get dialled in and that was it. I played with a few settings over a couple of days to make sure I was right the first time, but every time went back to that same first setting. It just fit in so well and did exactly what I needed it to do.

Great quality, but is it just a toy
There is a hell of a lot of sounds available here, from boosted/overdriven tones to springy compression. But I'm not sure that's really what anyone wants in a stompbox compressor... In general compressors are set and forget kind of pedals so spending so much money on a pedal that in most cases you only want to feel and not hear just doesn't feel right. I would say this is a great studio tool, but in fairness a good studio will have things far superior. As much fun as this pedal is, and as great as it sounds it some how always left underwhelmed, tweaking settings and trying to get things to fit in just right. In the end I decided it wasn't for me. It was too toy like, I managed to have some fun with it but it never amounted to anything.

Hit or miss
I've had two of these. The first I loved but eventually sold. The second I bought to replace the first but it sounded completely different. The delay wasn't as dark or inspiring and the chorus didn't offer the mood of the first. There are a lot of trim pots inside and my guess is that during production they simply aim to get voltages within a desired range and don't finalise anything by ear.

Absolutely fine...
It's a pretty boring digital delay, in general it lacks any character. However, there is one redeeming factor... You can get some cool noises and glitch effects using the loop function.

Incredible
It's just the best reverb, I haven't found anything it doesn't work on. It seems to just work however you have it set. It's a pretty inspiring pedal from a subtle mood change to a trip through space. I found myself lost in it's sounds for hours.
