Hi Brain,
It looks good, but I wasn't that impressed with it. A big light green
"stomp box" it has some nice features, but none of them resemble the
"real analog tape delay" (IMHO) I feel the same about their spring
reverb emulator, which doesn't do it for me either.
And most anoying for me it comes with a 9V battery and not like the Holy
Grail for instance with a 110 or 220 adaptor, which these bigger units
really need, since they drain batteries. Adaptor has to be bought
separate, but it should be included, since 9V doesn't cut it while
rehearsing or gigging, but then again most stomp boxes perform only good
with an adaptor.
I think it's nice when you are looking for some echo/repeats which
aren't that complicated, but merely as a surplus to your other effects
used. It can be usefull but not if you are after a more complicated
"Shadows/Sputnicks" sound
But as mentioned before, the real analog tape delays are not practical
to use these days due to their age and the tape breaking.
If you have the chance to try the Danelectro "Real Echo" perhaps give it
a try. It might be a good inexpense alternative to include some "delay
tape related" to your sound...but get it with an adaptor, instead of
using it with a 9V.

Anyone got the scoop on the Danelectro Reel Echo?
