Simple, magnificient, slapback/springy delay
The Way Huge Aqua Puss has a good reputation and for good reasons. It's a short analog delay, perfect for slapback, doubling, faux-spring reverb, etc. It does not do much else but it's very good, even excellent at what it does. Here's my advice for using it, though. While the delay time can be used all the way, going from extremely short to fairly short delays, the other two knobs need to be taken with caution, especially "blend". While at 0, you just get your dry signal, it become REALLY audible very quickly. For me, between 9 and 10, you get everything you need. More than that is for washed out delays and is probably useful if your tastes are somewhere between Dick Dale and, say, OhSees or Ty Segall. But for just a reasonable amount of delay volume, that does not mess with your sound, 9-10 is the max. In fact it can be even set at 8.30 and be fairly audible, albeit subtle. Same with the "feedback" knob because you have to keep in mind it's a very short delay (300 ms) max, so even at minimum, you're going to get a very audible first repeat and they multiply very quicly. As a result, that's the sort of pedal I love at 45 but had I bought it 15 or 20 years ago, I would have found it useless and would probably have sold it. It's useless for Shoegaze stuff or David Gilmour-kind of trippy stuff. It's perfect for a slight boost, doubling and all sort of slap backs.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I set the blend at 9 and Feedback at 10, and then I adjust the delay time to taste, from slap back (9-10 o'clock) to Edge-like dotted 8th repeats (2-3 o'clock) and everything in between.

Great slap back
Great slap back sounds in such a small unit. A staple on many boards and it’s clear to see why. Only issue I have is the range of delay times, for longer drawn out delays I’d recommend going for something else. If you’re looking for great slap tones this works wonders
