Aqua Puss Analog Delay

As good as my original - and quieter too. I absolutely love it! I had my doubts - but as soon as I plugged in and hit the switch - those doubts vanished with the first tape-like repeat. I purchased an extra, just because they look so darn good! Actually I needed one for my second rig... ; - ) The Cool Audio MN3205 delay chip seems to be a winning ticket! Again - I had my doubts. Looking at the interior of the MKII, Mr. Tripps made sure that MXR used only the best quality of production. I want to say that the MKII is sporting a more sophisticated compander circuit... This would would explain its quiet natured performance. Great job guys - the MKII is a WINNER!!!

Of course it's too early to tell  - but this thing is one of the best built effects pedals I've ever seen! This thing is built for the road! Just get one - and you'll see what I mean. I love the footswitch action too!

This is for the new MKII unit: Simple as it gets. Delay/Feedback/Level Battery access on the front. Good thinking guys!

Backed up by MXR... No problem.

This is one of the best built - best sounding 300ms delays I've ever used. It's quieter than my original AP, and my 1981 Boss DM2. Not as dark - but definitely quieter. Each on of these are hand-tuned also. This is evident by the silicon drops on the trim-pots. At $149.00 you can't go wrong. Is it as good as my MN3005 equipped Deluxe Memory Man - or my custom-made SIB Analog Echodrive? This is a 300ms 9 volt (MN3205 based) delay, so your not going to get "that" type of delay signal. 18 volt delays have more headroom - hence their more pristine delay signal. BTW - Nothing beats the SIB Analog Echodrive, or the E-H Deluxe Memory Man. Those are 18 volt MN3006 equipped circuits. IMO - Rick Hamel of SIB wins the award for the best sounding delays ever built. His analog Echodrive, digital Echodrive, and Mr. Echo Plus are absolutely incredible! The Mr Echo Plus is a low impedance delay, so you can use it in your amps loop. It's repeats rival any analog delay on the market - no doubt about it. It's closer to tape than any analog 9 volt pedal I've ever heard. As with his other delays, it has  a "spacey" delay sound that can only be had from tape-based delays. Not even the mighty Deluxe memory Man can do that. Is it the best 300ms delay on the market? I have many short-delay style pedals... The new MKII is IMO is best new 9 volt delay to be released.

My Setup is : Amps: 1974 Fender Super Reverb 1967 Vibratone 1986 Caliber 50 + Mesa Boogie Pedals: Kelley Compressor, Aqua Puss, 1983 TS-9 and A cry Baby GUitar- 05 SRV Fender and a 1976 Guild F512 12 string I play mostly SRV stuff and whe you use this baby to play "Lenny"....oh my god! I also play some Pink floyd and is crazy how easy it is to get that sound too!

Built like a tank!

I'm the proud new owner of a Aqua puss AP-2, just bought it and will never sell this sweet box! Super easy to use and nails the magical tone i was looking for!

Never dealt with any bought on Eaby

For my style and the sound i was looking for this pedal is PERFECT, THX WAY HUGE! If this pedal wsa stolen i would probably cry...........

sound quality is great, yes. But I will go against the grain here and point out the Aqua-Puss' liabilities: NOT ENOUGH DELAY TIME. If you need it for slapp-a-billy , echo or a short delay it is fine, But does a 300ms delay justify$800-$900 on Ebay? This is a clone of the Ibanez/Maxon AD80 (which was 18v) but you can get a clone of this clone by buying an "Atomic Echo Clone" at Musictoyz.com. All three of the aforementioned pedals sound almost identical. That said, it is a great sounding pedal

very reliable. I own over 10 Way Huge pedals and have never had a problem w/the plastic switches.

very easy to use analog delay

none

I prefer a longer delay to double up my notes like the Moog MF104 or the Toneczar Echotone (over 100ms!!!)...the Maxon AD999 (or900) is very good too. Still, I would only sell all but one of my 3 aqua-puss'.
