I don’t think it is in the Strymon league , but it does a fine job. I mostly use it live to create a fuller guitar sound in our trio. Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top

Delay is not really part of the surf sound no matter how much we love it. There’s a lot of delay use in modern surf and I like it. Great example is Ivan Pongracic. If you just wanna stick to 60s traditions, probably yes, no delay! — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine New Single is out! https://waikikimakaki.bandcamp.com/album/rhino-blues-full-contact-surf-single Waikiki Makaki https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top

But if it is the best for surf?? Does it need echo? Endless discussion. It's a matter of taste, no? Cheers, Andy — www.LosVenturas.be Top
