Might be tax-season before the $ is handy, but this looks like it'll be my next pedal buy.
Give them some time to work the production-bugs out anyways lol.
They'll be about $200 with a sales code.
I especially like the dedicated mod-knobs, the killdry and the bright/dark switch.

I am happy we live in a time where there are a lot of choices for delay. These days, I need some sort of expression pedal to vary the volume and feedback of the delay I am using (unless I am recording, although it is cool there, too). I am not usually a 'set and forget' guy...I want control over the sound all of the time.

I've only tried and used the delays on my Line 6 pod, and I am actually looking for a separate delay pedal myself. I am into nothing like 'Edge Type' things, only for subtle ambiance, and to use with distortion mainly. And the 'Tape Delay' patch worked best to my liking, actually it is the only type I like at all. Just to share experience and maybe point to a direction.

Re: Reverb vs. tape delay vs. digital delay etc. etc....

For ambiance used with distortion, my favorite is a lo-fi digital delay followed by analog / tape delay. The reason I prefer lo-fi digital to analog is because the repeats get a bit less murky. On my board I have a DD-2 and a MIJ DD-3, which are quite rolled-off sounding compared to the bright, percussive sound of a new DD-3. I keep the DD-2 set for a long slap back ~150ms while the DD-3 is set around 400ms.
