My main delay
There really isn't a single thing this doesn't do. Among the initial 12 presets, you can deep dive via the editor and find another exhausting list of other options. There is a full community of posted presets which means TC has nothing above this. Add to this the midi capabilities and you get 99 presents with a controller. Yes this is a digital pedal, but you won't have to worry about that, you can't hear it. Routing on this is also a great feature, true stereo in and out which may work for some effect loop options on two different amps. I have a feeling the new Universal Audio Starlight will surpass this unit because of the vintage units its emulating, but hey if you had both then, well, the delay wold is your oyster. Also the primary reason I went with this unit is the ability to program two individual delays, that work independent of each other, just like The Edge.

99+ presets with midi? Yes Please
I needed another delay that was better than my DD-7, with presets and frills out the yang, I bought this and a Microdesignum Piccolo, and won't turn back!
