One of the most unique pedals, but with a major issue

The Tensor pedal is a great piece of gear that can generate crazy and original ideas. It also has some functions that can replicate pedals like the Whammy (when using an expression pedal to change the pitch). The repeats sound great, and it can get really loud if you want it to, even with the reverse mode activated. The cover design is impressive, making the pedal look more expensive than it actually is.

However, the big issue is that this pedal is goddamn small (and I mean very small), which makes it uncomfortable to use. The way you can drop glitchy, insane sounds is great, but the problem is that the small size makes it easy to accidentally hit the wrong switch. For example, you might press the switch that stops the sound instead of triggering the glitch effects, or vice versa, all because the two switches are placed too close to each other.

Also, the jack inputs are placed very close together. Somehow, the expression input is located right between the input and output jacks, making it really difficult to connect an expression pedal using an L-shaped cable. If you have this pedal on a crowded pedalboard, this can be a major hassle.

In conclusion, this pedal offers an extensive and creative experience, and I highly recommend it for what it is. However, the enclosure design could definitely be improved.
