Small and useful

The first thing, his desing is very beatiful/well made, very clear sounding, have a lot of options to delays lovers, have a tap button, but his learning curve is very difficult to set the right way, complicated to use his secret modes, don't have a stereo out and his footswitch for me it's not good build.

Swiss Army knife of delays

A wealth of possibilities for searching for sounds for different functions, from ambient to giving more body to your tone.

Best compact digital delay/looper

I'm not much of a fan of multi algorithm pedals - Too many options makes me crazy (I like to keep it simple). Delay knob range on this one is just too much for me, I rarely use more than half a second, and makes it more difficult to fine tune. But the Canyon is probably the best compact digital delay I ever played, not just tone wise (way ahead the Boss DD7 IMO) but feature wise also. Tap tempo works fine, trails switch, subdivisions, silent switching 1 MegaOhm input and 800ohm output, and the sub parameters are awesome. I think this pedal wins out any DD7 or Flashback, by miles... Inside of it are also a Reverb, a POG, and a Looper (with undo/redo). The sounds I enjoyed the most where the Shim and Tape. The DMM mode is also very good, way better than DD7's analog mode. The looper is the best compared to the competition, not only it offers a generous 1 minute recording time as it features undo/redo, but even better, all of this is always available until you intentionally erase it by long pressing the footswitch, so that means if you power cycle it or change delay modes your loop will always be stored in the memory, along with it's undo/redo. Fantastic!! It's like having a portable recorder! It's a shame the first "Echo" setting has no secondary parameters, it sounds exactly the same as the second "mod" setting with the modulation turned down. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to buy a first delay pedal. I also recommend it to someone who is not sure whether they prefer a tape emulation delay, digital, or analog, since it has all those voices. Given it's price and features it's really unbeatable. The graphics on the pedal however, as with most EHX pedals, are just awful IMO... Why do they keep putting these silly cartoonish graphics on such great pedals?? Like the Crayon, Hot Wax, Blurst... C'mon Mr. Mathews...

Blown Away

As a digital multi-delay that is $110 cheaper than the Line 6 DL4, this pedal is incredible. Not only does it offer 11 different delays and a looper, but it can emulate non-delay pedals as well. On the EHX forums, gvelasco has discovered how, with some tweaking, the modulated delay can be made to sound like a traditional chorus and the octave delay can emulate a POG. That's not even where his discoveries stop!

Its emulation of the veteran Deluxe Memory Man may serve as a suitable substitute for the larger real one, saving space on one's pedalboard. Guster enthusiasts may also find the reverb delay to work very well for the opening of "Dear Valentine," as I have.

Just be careful when tweaking the delay time with high feedback dialed in. If you turn the former knob too much under this circumstance, you risk getting an ear-piercing drone of loud delays/reverb/crystal shimmer. If this happens, turn down the pedal's volume and turn your amp off ASAP before turning the pedal off, in case the tails switch is on (the tails switch keeps the delay going even after turning off). After these devices are turned off, turn down the feedback knob to minimum to cut the drone short.

Great alternative to a DMM

Have been using this for 4 years, I'm still experimenting new sounds with it. The DMM mode is the best; but also the octave and reverse delay modes sound great.

From Gear Setup

Bought it to replace my Flashback

The Flashback still gets used, don't get me wrong. But my critisism with the flashback is how it mutes your signal to set the tempo. This fixed everything. Set the tempo by tapping the button in time to the music, and if you don't want to turn the effect on and off while setting the tempo? You can buy an external button for about £20 and plug it in to use exclusively as a tap-tempo. Just as versatile as the Flashback with many delay types, the button is very responsible, and controls feel beautiful. My go-to delay.

Excellent pedal !!!!

It has everything ! 4 "normal" delays, a bunch of crazy ones to have fun, a reverb and a looper !!! for this price, truly unbeatable

Great product

Great product with many different delay settings. Good for anything that needs delay. Only issue is the tap tempo can be difficult to control at times but it is usually pretty straightforward.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Let's get weird

So many presets and secret feature, I use this with my bass for some trippy intros or by combining some distortion with it for solos when my guitarist let me. Thumbs up

Better Than a Flashback

As opposed to EHX's Ocean's 11 Reverb, this thing rules. Every delay sound is usable and can be musical.
