A compact pedal featuring the "Echo" mode of the original Canyon, with the addition of "a new style of Infinite Repeats where a single delay is repeated and the input is taken out of the delay path. This makes the pedal function like a micro tape looper that can be played over without new delays being created", per the official product description.
