Easy to use, full of surprises

Don't let the whacky names on the controls of this pedal fool you; you can put the controls pretty much anywhere and get a good sound out of this thing. While I don't get a lot of utility out of the tremolo sounds, and it sometimes feels like the trajectory knob isn't doing much of anything, I don't have any complaints to make because I wanted the lush movements and wide sweep of classic phasers for funky clean rhythms, ambient soundscapes, 70s-inspired synth tracks & some big fuzz-ed out riffs, and it can handle them all. I do wish the sweep of the velocity (speed) knob was a little more forgiving though; the space between a slow undercurrent and leslie-like fast churning seems a little small and hard to find a sweet spot in. It sounds fantastic, and the different sounds are worth exploring, but it you're just after the basics there are cheaper (and smaller) options that would suit your needs just as well.
