I tried that new Line 6 "echo park" delay pedal.
looks like this
What I liked about it:
It is compact. It's about the size of a Boss pedal, but taller, and just a tiny bit wider.
It sounded really really good.
It had a butt load of effects and modes. I was having a lot of fun with the "swell" feature, as well as the "warp" knob which adds modulation to the delay signals, and the the "reverse" mode was really cool too.
What I didn't like:
I hated the switch. You don't just step on it to turn it on and off the way a Boss pedal works. Stepping on this pedal only adjusts the tap tempo. To switch it on and off, you have to step down on it harder (all the way down) until you hear the click, the same way that you turn a wah pedal on and off. BOO!! Why even add a rate knob if you're going to do that?
That crap would be a nuisance on stage, IMO.
Boss pedals are still the most practical. I prefer the Boss DD series where you can set the tap tempo, and just switch on and off. I don't wan't to have to worry about "tap gently" and "tap harder" when I'm on stage.
Another thing I noticed about this pedal was that it does increase the volume by just a hair when you switch it on. That's not really a bad thing. It's not too noticable. I also read that you cannot daisy chain this thing with other boss pedals since the higher power cunsumption will create hum. That means you'll have to give it it's own power supply, or possibly use that voodoo lab pedal power 2.
Anyone else try the echo park?
