Just a quick entry to post my impression of this budget pedal.
I recently was given a gift certificate to Guitar Center from a band that I did a freebie sound mix for. Nice gesture from some nice guys that put $25 in my pocket and a good excuse to go dig around at the Guitar Center in Round Rock, Texas. I was wanting to simplify my stage rig my going back to using a few analog/digital stomp boxes. I was thinking I should have a good delay unit because my amplifier does not have a built in reverb feature. I did'nt want to break the bank and because some of our crowds get a little rowdy, I did'nt want to buy an expensive piece that might get damaged.
I had seen the Delta Lab line before but never really investigated them in too much detail. The rep at Guitar Center informed me that the Delta Labs were on sale. That got my attention so I plugged one in and started picking.
I would say that the appearance of the unit is spot on. Great blue color and good graphics. To be short, it looks good on the pedal board. Also, I would say that the construction is sturdy. Feels like it is built solid and can take being on the road.
The delay times are a little limiting. I would say that the max is about 400ms or so. However, it is not really a limiting problem. On the fast side, it offers some good Rock-a-billy tones and on the slow side, it can do a pretty good U2/Edge rip off.
The repeats are certainly adequate. All in all I would say that it is a pretty decent little unit. I have gigged with it twice since buying it and it has done just fine. If you can pick one up at anything less than $40, you will have a good little unit.
