It sounds good when it works. The initial attraction to me was the control pedal/CV jack. Though in practice it is not usable in any artistic way. I was hopingI would be able to adjust the length of the delay time to more closely match teh tempo of what I was playing. Instead it gos from top to bottom of its delay time in afraction of an inch. This is with, Moog, Roland and Ernie Ball pedals.
It does sound good,but yuo have to be sure you get your levels right. It sounds ugly when overdriven, and noisy if fed a quiet signal.
Mine broke after a couple weeks. It still passes signal, but no delay.

Like another reviewer said, I can't seem to bond with this pedal. I agree it seems to be built like a tank, but it just doesn't make the good sounds I'm getting from a much cheaper unit. As far as chorus goes, forget it. I s'pose this will remain on a shelf in the closet forever.
Musical Background:
40+ years, gigging musician.
Musical Style:
Classic rock, rock, etc.

I purchased this some months back and just can't seem to bond with it. It seems well made, but that's it's only good point imo. It's controls are touchy and overall it sounds like crap. Now I'm going to have to try and sell it at less than 1/2 what I paid for it. Otherwise, it's closet gear.
