A great one off pedal but I don't use it as a traditional delay
i set this baby to be a self oscillating beast with my custom toneprint that actually doesn't function as a delay as most people would like.

Very versatile, small footprint.
I use mine for a tape-ish slap-back and occasionally an ambient trail to push my reverb. So many options and it fits really nicely on my board.

Great little delay pedal
Can get any delay sound through the TC app and zap it to your pedal using your guitar pickup

Featured in this September 26, 2019 interview with Ford's tech, Jarod Woznik, on the website for Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World’s Greatest Guitarists.
Ever since I’ve been working with Lita, she has kept her gear pretty simple and straightforward. At the moment on her board we have a Dunlop DVP3 volume pedal into a Cantrell wah into a TC Electronic Flashback mini delay into MXR analog chorus. Four pedals, that’s it!
On the TC delay mini I created a custom dynamic digital delay toneprint that fits her playing and doesn’t muddy the sound.
Norman has a fullsize Flashback at home, but brings the mini with him when he tours.
