Sweet and musical

The Alien Echo is out of this world. Very pristine sounding without coming off as "digital", it's a combo anyway. It's does tape wobble very well, and to extremes if you choose to. Solid as all JRAD pedals are. Space-wise, fits nicely on any board. The warble knob is great, because you can add the amount of volume on that and switch it on when you want it. That's a handy feature to have. You can't go wrong with this as you primary delay, and if the tape/analog thing is you, then this delivers just that.
