That looks really cool, cause I like the standalone Digitech Digidelay I had more than any stand alone delay boss currently has out. This probably has a lot of those sounds which were good in a very user friendly set-up of two dual pedals. With more added delay time and more options.

This.

It seems every other band I see is a fucking delay pedal band. It used to be called post-rock, now it's just delay pedal rock, zzzzzzzz.

That is jsut one use for a delay, and yeah it kinda sucks. Myself, what i listen to/play now barely classes as music so i see a lot of potential in this pedal. and it certainly isnt involving a guitar.

analog delay is better for everything but loooong tails, and long tails are lamers.

no guitar? fuckbuttons?

Not huge on that band. They sound like a growing ripoff to me, just without the interest of growing. Just me though.

I use 8000ms of delay commonly, so yeah, analog is good for some things, digital for other. Again, its a tool and it all depends on how it is used. Its like any effect.

as far as fuckbuttons, try listening to their latest full length really fucking loud, with the bass up.

but yeah, there are more interesting noise bands. i was going to say black dice, but then realised they use plenty of guitar.

i found this trying to find a good video of black dice live w/ guitar, but this is way more hilarious. thats black dice in the background, haha.

the pedal looks just like a dd-20, does it do something the dd20 does not?

ill bet itd sound nice with some bucket brigade analog... like the carbon copy.

seems like you could get some really nice dubby sounds with a mopho, an MPC and a carbon copy.
