Visual Sound H20 Chorus/Echo?

[Closed Eye]

Anybody know anything about the chorus/echo pedal?

Does the delay, which goes to 800ms, sound anything like other digital delays? (DD-3, etc,) How's the chorus? Lush? Shimmering?

Opinions, ideas, thoughts...any/all help is appreciated!

Thanks!

what do they go for used?

I'm guessing around $120-130 or so. There's one on Ebay right now at $81 with 15 bids and two days left, and another with a $165 BIN price w/ free shipping (it's brand new though).

only downfall i'd say is the lack of true bypass

the echo is real tight & analogy, like a rockabilly delay, chorus is kinda...swooshy i guess

True bypass isn't that big of a deal really IMO, if you use several pedals you'd want a buffer or two in there anyways.

Nope it is horsesh!t most of the time, highimpedance, truebypass=noise and static will increase!
It sounds good on paper, but reality is that if you use more than 5 meters cords your sound will degrade rapidly, it is ok if you play really small clubs and stand right by your amp.
And guitar is already plenty lo-fi when it comes down to it, why make it even worse?
I know that it is not popular or "correct" to say this, but it is really mostly just a gimmick!

Ok...Im not gonna argue with you, but let me ask this...why do sa many people go crazy over ture bypass if it is just a gimmick?

Same way they go crazy over alot of other stuff....that deep down also is hype related.
It is not really meant as hard as a I said it above...
But guitarplayers are sometimes a bunch of superstious beings
And anything that ads "mojo" and "voodoo" is good...hehe
I have had my share of stuff, and I have gotten quite cynical over gear by now
Yeah true bypass is ok, when a good buffer is also used!
But as usual it is down to what works for the single player and his/hers gear.
And numbers are just numbers
Don't mind me over this....I just think that the whole deal is amusing from time to time.
It can be quite hysterical, hehe maybe somebody should write some fictionus over this??
Could become a good Prachett book...hehe

I think that's an important point. Also, there ARE non-true bypass pedals that don't obliterate your signal, just because it's not TB doesn't mean it will trash your tone.
