i have heard a lot of people hear talk about how crappy this thing is but no one has mentioned that it has a real good 50's sun recordings scotty moore sound, which is why i bought it in the first place. You can also get a glasvegas-ish sound out of it. For those in the states you may have to wait a couple of months before you hear this brilliant band. This is a great pedal for those rockabillers out there, maybe not so for rock, pop, indie types.
Good Points: great 50's sound easy to use looks good nice and small
Bad Points: it's plastic (i know its not a orginial bad point but it's ture) i got one that was duff but am getting a new one on monday

I found this to suck in every possible way. Unusable, crappy and not capable of any cool sound. Stay away from it!

deffinately a one trick pony, but what it does it does well for something so small. a very good reverb sound can be had from this, as well as some decent chorusing, though the chorusing tends to get buried a little.
Good Points: good sound..
Bad Points: its a mini=not the best construction...

works as either a spring reverb or a chorus. it has a nice little watery effect to it, (hence the chorus effect), and if you turn the first knob all the way up and the second knob all the way down, it sounds like really nice spring reverb.

great as an invariable spring reverb or echous delay. nice watery sound. when off it does create an annoying sixtycycle, but i get over it.
Good Points: good to add even more reverb to set up, or muddy up some feed back, or cause carcrash noises through a feedback loop. if you wiggle it around it causes weird splashy sringy noises. i like it
Bad Points: none really. except that damn sixty cycle hum.

i picked this puppy up because i needed a good echo but didn't want to spend alot. i tried the dan-echo and liked that one so i figured this would be just as good. not right. the knobs aren't as expressive as i would have liked. but i do use it. it adds some nice dimensions to the mix. in the quiter, higher pitched sections it works really well. with the lows its not as effective.
Good Points: cheap, usefull, nice sound
Bad Points: plastic casing, not as expressive as i would have liked.

The echos this box produces have a metalic, almost plate reverb like sound. The repeat knob isn't a sensitive as I'd like (there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in effect between 9 and 12 o'clock on the knob). The echos decay in a nice way with the highs rolling off as they go. A good way to thicken things up a bit. Works beter with high frequency sounds than with low frequency sounds.
Good Points: Cheap. Doesn't take up much space. Good metalic sounding echos.
Bad Points: Knobs aren't very responsive. Eats batteries. Not good for low frequency sounds
