Very versatile but something is missing

I haven't personally checked many delay pedals, however below there's my list of PROS and CONS.

PROS: 1) Rich and versatile: the pedal has modulation, blend, nr. of repeats and rate, filter to equalize the delay tail. Some functions change according the setting you select on the HAZARAI (the white knob). Beside delay and echo, you might manage to take different sounds out of that, like basic reverb, chorus, phaser, shimmer. There's also a reverse echo and the loop function. 2) Sensitivity: the knobs are very sensible and everything might change just slightly turning the knobs. This provides even more versatility and room for creativity. However, you should be the kind of musician who doesn't bother (or even likes) to spend time looking for the right sound. 3) Presets: the versatility and the required attention to sound match with the possibility to memorize a preset for each Hazarai setting. 4) It has TAP TEMPO. 5) You can use the delay in combination with the Looper. 6) The graphic is very cool!

CONS: 1) There's no possibility to add a switch pedal to change presets. 2) I like the effect some dalay pedals have to hold the oscillating tail; this one doesn't have it. 3) There are no different types of delays to switch among (every sound you find is the result of the combinations of the 5 knobs). 4) There's no option to automatically get a dotted 8. You have to use the tap tempo or get it manually. 5) Not very friendly and easy to use: it takes some time to figure out all its potential and different settings (again, this is not necessarily a downside). 6) I don't like the standard EHX stomp-switches much.

CONCLUSIONS: I came up with the same amount of Pros & Cons but I guess this is definitely a PRO! I would purchase it again, even though probably in future I'll couple it with another delay with features that here are missing, that would also allow more flexibility while playing.

Love at first site

It was my first delay pedal and i loved it since the begin. The sound is more than good for me, is something nearest possible to my ideas. I use every preset positions and the tap offer elasticity to the presets. I just love this guy. The down point, yes for me it is, is don't change presets easily with the foot. Do this is tricky if not impossible. I do. But i feel that it injuries the rotary knob too. Well, i am a not yet old guy and don't have problems with my back. So i go down and up and uses it like a performance thing too. But would be great have a more user friendly change banks/presets.

Love it

You can get so much more than a delay out of this if you really take some time to it. Be creative for a phaser, reverb, and modulation. Obviously then there's also the looper function, which is far understated on its packaging. A beautiful sound and hours of getting lost.

Great Delay

This is a very versatile delay pedal. It has a fully featured set on controls and you can get some odd effects out of this box - warbly chorus and reverse echo among them An advantage for live playing is that you can save pre-sets. The only downside is the lack of an LED display showing repeat rate.

best pedal everrrr

this is the best delay pedal ive ever used and you can get the classic mbv reverse sound from it

From Gear Setup

Favorite pedal ever

::slaps roof:: You can fit so many dreamy soundscapes in this bad boy

awesome thing

I use it with my bass guitar. It makes some ambience and atmosphere with bass solos. Also it's interesting to make some ghost notes to main rhytm.

Delay with tons of mode

Delay dengan banyak sekali fitur. ada loop nya juga. repeats yang sangat panjang. Ada decaynya juga buat nambah nuansa reverb. Komplit!

stereo delay pedal with versatile sound options

Sound on Sound is solid, and there's a million delays in this box. And it's stereo.

Leaves you in dreams while fingerpicking with this.
