301dl Dynamic Echo

I am a delay freak. I have had , a copycat, space echo, digitech double play Ibanez Harmonizer/delay MXR analog delay, korg tape echo etc. I have on hand, a Memory MAn deluxe (vintage), Boss DD2, Electrix MOFX YAmaha SPX50 Lexicon LXP5 lots and lots of delays. DGStomp Fender Combos, Bassman, ProJr. Mesa subway etc. I always reach for this pedal. Quirky ? Yes. But if you know what you are looking for this is like having the history of the delay effect at your feet. The sound of a delay that is just about to give it up. I love the crazy sounds, the warbling the feedback. The extra eq, ducking, and predelay are features that require some study, but are worth understanding., Between the ducking and the lo fi and the predealy OF COURSE this is different.

I 've used it on lots of gigs. The batteries are a pain, the switch sometimes hangs, who cares. It does some freaky stuff. I like it.

I bought this new and on purpose. Of couse it came with a manual and if you have one you want to read it. It is easy to edit patches and save two sounds for stage use. Obviously not easy to mess with on the fly on the floor. Mine has a slightly wonky switch but I am scarred to open it up as much as suggested.

Who knows.

This is good for all kinds of delays and echoes. Just send em to me. Thanks

Real weak, dry, boring delay. I like rich, fun, manipulatable, space-creating delay, analog or digital.  I've heard lots of good ones.   This thing just repeats what you played, and somehow it sounds worse.  Short delays sound phasey, long delays sound boring. Of course, like any effect, you can use the sound it creates -- but the only way I could really use this thing is to play up its bad-ness for some lo-fi noise/instrumental composition, in combination with some other pedals/effects. 

Seems good.

The interface demands you to keep switching back and forth between two "banks" to change the most basic settings, which are scattered unevenly.  Pretty inconvenient.

Not a good match for me -- like I say, I like delays that create an interesting space of their own, not just mimic what I play like some low-end riff-learning sampler.
