Very cool not-quite-analog delay
This pedal is just fun, from its sounds to its Commodore 64 inspired graphics.
While it sounds on the analog side it’s actually a digital delay where the repeats get run through an adjustable preamp (the knob labeled with a rainbow Space Invader) to dirty them up on the way out. There’s also a modulation knob that creates a kind of wow and flutter effect. It’s the kind of pedal that can be very straightforward or pretty weird. I personally love cranking up the preamp and modulation in conjunction with a phaser for some nice psychedelic sounds.
