Critic Reviews
4.5 out of 5
Based on 7 Reviews and 36 Ratings
:)
I use this for its reverse feature which is nice but I feel you could possibly get more out of a reverse reverb pedal like the electro harmonix cathedral. All depends on what you're doing.:). I also really use this for the looping feature. it's only 28 sec with 12 loops I believe. but is nice to have a looper that I can still experiment with. I like how you can adjust the volume of the loop and the bypassed signal to get a balanced sound if playing live. This really is almost identical to the green line 6 looper which I suggest is better for what it is.

one of the best pedals
this big one works like a delay, an octave n pitch pedal, a chorus, tremolo, reverb, looper, phaser... one of the greatest pedals in this life...big size maybe a problem, but thinking in all the features inside its a great deal...

The tape on the pedal appears to have labels for various Temples songs, presumably for the footswitches: 1. Sun Structures, 2. Colours (Colours To Life), 3. Ankh, 4. Move (Move With The Season), 5. MES (Mesmerise).
This photo was taken at a Temples show at the Parish in Austin, TX in Oct 2014.
