saw this on thegearpage.net webpage yesterday, posted from 3-3-09. thought i'd share:
here's my initial impressions:
- I/you have never played a delay pedal like this.
- It has a huge amount of versatility. Easily the most versatile delay pedal I've ever played. the designer kept looking over and saying things like, "that pedal does that sound? i didn't even know it could do that!" so many new sounds to be had with just a little bit of exploring.
- this pedal can out-mode-7 the ps3 on any day
- here's a list of the features I can remember:
digital delay
- nice and clean. your basic digital delay.
analog
- great analog simulation, rivals my dd-7.
ducking delays
- digital and analog style, as well a new style of ducking that only repeats what you very recently played, so things don't get too messy.
reverse
- not much to say, just a nice good reverse.
envelope
- this mode only works on sustained notes. it basically cops the slicer tone.
looper
- 20 seconds, left pedal starts/repeats, right pedal stops/clears.
tone knob
- this affects every single delay type and the looper. from treble-cut-and-very-bassy to bass-cut-and-very-trebly
strum to set
- hold down the right pedal and mute your strings. with all down strokes, strum out any 6-hit pattern you can think of. when you turn on the delays, they will repeat in this pattern. you can also tap the tempo with the right footswitch.
modulation
- this can be applied to any setting from nice and subtly to wacky and warbly.
voicings
- this is where the pedal really shines. this affects the repeats. it can turn the repeats into up or down 2 semitones, 3 st, 4 st, 5 st, 6 st, 7 st, 8 st, 9 st, 10 st, 11 st, 12 st or 24 semitones. it also has arpeggiator modes. i've seriously never heard a delay pedal make sounds like this. great for ethereal/celestial sounds. also, with the looper, you can set it so that you loop in an octave down and then as soon as you repeat the loop it goes back up to normal pitch. then, you can play over the loop in any of the above shifts.
expression pedal compatability
- using an expression pedal, you can fully control any parameter (except delay types) or combination thereof. you can get some ridiculous sounds with some creative use.
i'm know i'm forgetting lots of things but that's the first impression. keep your eyes on this pedal!
video coming soon
