I haven't personally checked many delay pedals, however below there's my list of PROS and CONS. PROS: 1) Rich and versatile: the pedal has modulation, blend, nr. of repeats and rate, filter to equalize the delay tail. Some functions change according the setting you select on the HAZARAI (the white knob). Beside delay and echo, you might manage to take different sounds out of that, like basic reverb, chorus, phaser, shimmer. There's also a reverse echo and the loop function. 2) Sensitivity: the knobs are very sensible and everything might change just slightly turning the knobs. This provides even more versatility and room for creativity. However, you should be the kind of musician who doesn't bother (or even likes) to spend time looking for the right sound. 3) Presets: the versatility and the required attention to sound match with the possibility to memorize a preset for each Hazarai setting. 4) It has TAP TEMPO. 5) You can use the delay in combination with the Looper. 6) The graphic is very cool! CONS: 1) There's no possibility to add a switch pedal to change presets. 2) I like the effect some dalay pedals have to hold the oscillating tail; this one doesn't have it. 3) There are no different types of delays to switch among (every sound you find is the result of the combinations of the 5 knobs). 4) There's no option to automatically get a dotted 8. You have to use the tap tempo or get it manually. 5) Not very friendly and easy to use: it takes some time to figure out all its potential and different settings (again, this is not necessarily a downside). 6) I don't like the standard EHX stomp-switches much. CONCLUSIONS: I came up with the same amount of Pros & Cons but I guess this is definitely a PRO! I would purchase it again, even though probably in future I'll couple it with another delay with features that here are missing, that would also allow more flexibility while playing.
