"Great Pedal"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I just cannot say enough about this pedal. Great sound, great aesthetics. It's easy to get great ambient tones out of this pedal in seconds. The wood sides, which look like rosewood, compliment the mint/cream finish nicely, and the pictures do it no justice. The controls are very responsive. The modulation can go from subtle shimmer to all out modulation madness. The oscillation is the same. And it sounds great without these features as well. The time slider is super responsive as well and can make all kinds of awesome turntable-esque sounds when manipulated during play. I would recommend this pedal to anyone on the market for a great analog delay that doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a moog.

Great pedal huge flexibilities tap tempo worked great. Overall great pedal for adding depth to solos or reverb to acoustic songs. It has a slider and oscillator so you can do crazy pedal solos or weird electronic stuff. I liked the pedal a lot but mine broke within 30 mins of playing with the appropriate powersource ext. I believe it was a faulty input jack connection. But it was a cool pedal and I'm sure it was a fluke. Probably will buy it again. As always zzounds handled the returns like a pro and I will continue to shop with them.

"Ibanez echo shifter. "

The echo shifter is a great pedal with versatile options. It has the ability to obtain subtle ambience, yet with just a flick of the oscillation or modulation switch, also has the ability to creat dark/ominous textures. A great buy for those looking to get weird with their rig. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because as of last night it ceases to operate. Zzounds set me up with a return label with no questions asked. Should be recieving a new one within a few days. Enjoy!

"Questionable build quality"

This pedal was amazing...for the three hours it worked as it should. It might not have even lasted three hours, that is a generous estimate. I think one of the weak points is the tap tempo switch. When the pedal started "glitching" out, the tap tempo stopped working, the delay effect was only affecting the lower notes for a little while, and then a very distorted, static-like sound was all that was coming out. I thought it was a battery issue, but installing a new battery did not relieve this. Other people have had this same problem.
