Highly underrated—sort of
Ok, so this is an extremely basic digital delay, but it’s my favorite of all time. First off, the sampler function is useless, giving you barely enough time to play a single note or chord. If you really want to get down on the floor and twiddle some knobs, you can get a decent drone out of it, but there are hundreds of better options for that.
Where this pedal excels is in the tone of the delay. I’ve tried a lot of other digital delays, and none of them have the same ice cold tone this thing has. If you want a crystal-clear, Cocteau Twins-esque ethereal sound, you should definitely give this a try, especially with them being easily found for under $100 as I’m writing this.
Of course the pedal does come with the downside of DOD’s unreliable early ‘90s foot switches. Mine also developed a tendency over the years of turning itself on and off at random, and sometimes not activating when I would step on the switch even though the LED came on. I recently took it apart and gave it a good cleaning, tightened all the bolts, etc, and it’s as good as new now.
Of course there are digital delays out there with far more options, and if you’re not interested in a super sparkly dream pop tone it might turn you off. For me, though, it’s an absolute necessity.
