The sound is very good what you would expect from Electro Harmonix, None of the effects on it are lacking.

It had more then expected on top of the looper you could use the various types of delays to dial in all sorts of effects including: Chorus, Reverb, Echo, and you can even get a reverse echo. You can tap in the time or used the switch to start the reverse effect. All the effects are customizable and with the loops you can overdub and reverse as well as speed up, and speed up while changing the pitch. it also came with its own power supply.

Its not really hard but takes some time to fully understand and remember what all the knobs do theres a manual that comes with it though that is very helpful.

Its a sturdy metal box it should last a long time.

This is worth the money for sure, with all the features its worth a lot more.

I'm pretty torn over this pedal...When this pedal is ON it sounds great. The echo delays have a nice 'swell' feature by changing the decay knob. The tap tempo is cool and the reverse modes also sound fantastic. A filter knob allows you to alter the tone of the delays, which can really warm your sound. Plus, the ability to save a preset for each delay type is pretty sweet. HOWEVER, I returned this pedal after trying to record with it. When you press the switch to activate the pedal, there is an audible 'click', which is especially noticeable during a quiet passage (though if you're rocking out you likely wouldn't notice). This is really annoying and I can't understand why EH would go to the trouble of designing a great sounding digital delay but overlook this, to my mind, huge flaw. I had to return it because of this and bought a DL4 instead (which is excellent, but more $$). I'd say if you plan to use this ONLY for live situations, this is a great option for the price.

A fun, great sounding pedal (once turned on) with options that stoke your creativity, but see above. If you plan to record with it, beware!

If you take the time to read the manual, it is fairly simple to use. One thing though, the method for setting loops takes some practice and getting used to. I am familiar with the Boss RC-20 loop system's fluid setting of loops and found the Memory Man's technique hard to get used to.

Not talking sound quality here, but overall quality takes a serious hit because of the audible 'click' heard when turning the pedal ON. If this pedal had a quiet switch design I would have happily kept it and never would have written this review.

for the price, this is a great sounding digital delay... BUT see above.

no idea.
