Great and simple to use delay but overpriced
What can I say? It looks nice, it sounds good, and it's easy to use. It's out of production however, and second hand prices are not cheap (in the Netherlands at least). A second hand TC Electronic Flashback II is cheaper, sounds as good and has more options (like stereo outs).

T-rex replica delay
That is the delay i have on my small pedalboard.This is not a bright sounding Boss DD3 but simply one of the best sounding tape sims available. The tone is incredibly smooth and warm with a natural decay and it blends very well with your guitar and other pedals.The tap tempo switch is very useful to me so even the limited space on my Pedaltrain Nano18 i did replace the beautiful Carbon copy with the Replca. I love it!

The warmth of this pedal is one of its shining points for me.
Best non-modulated delay
I can't get dialed in the level&echo knobs. Volume changes can be an issue when the pedal is by-passed. It sounds compressed&muddy when used with distortion in brown mode.

A quality delay/echo pedal!
Extreme high quality, easy to operate and totally fulfilling any delay and echo needs.
