Sound Quality:
I'm using this with a tele into a marshall amp. The best thing about this pedal is the fantastically weird noises you can get out of it. If you set the repeat to maximum it will go foerever. Then get some lovely noisy feedback going and fiddle around with the delay length knob and you can make some fantastic Jonny Greenwoodesqe sounds. It's caused me a couple of noise problems, but I think that was down to the cheap power supply I was using. Tip! On the circuit board are some adjustable pots. It's worth playing around with these a little as you can suqeeze more repeats and longer delay out of it, although this will make it more noisy, so it's a bit of a trade off.
Reliability/Durability:
Only a cheapy plastic case, but it's pretty solid. One of the pots was crackly, but I managed to clean it up.
Ease of Use:
It's very simple to use, just the 3 knobs: mix, repeat and delay. by setting them all to 12 you can get a nice basic delay and you can go from there. It's compatible with a standard boss style 9v input, so you can run it off a soundbank multipower or whatever. I think it's the same pedal as the Digiplay DE-80 (reviewed elsewhere) under a different name.
Customer Support:
Cyclone?! Who?!
Overall Rating:
I'm borrowing this indefinitely off of my brother in law who's a keyboard player. I think he's forgotten I have it though... It's probably 20 years old or so, and I reckon it was a fairly cheapo pedal in its day, but it's wired in a very traditional, vintage style way so it's got a natural sounding warmth to it. just one of those fortunate ocassions where I've managed to get an obscure unwanted bit of old kit that's exactly what I need! :-)
