Every quiver requires a demisemiquaver. But to wit and wherefore with the whatfor? Good for a jot, or to
smidge a whit of a sip of the merest particulars from the lip of the slightest porcelain demitasse?
To me the envelope and LFO options can be very subtle or very radical (yet extremely musical) depending on the settings. The pedal is tuned very well (not unlike the Ct5 but not quite that extreme--maybe more hi-fi/slightly less HP). The tuning helps cut out some of the nastiness yet still sounding natural. The secondary functions are pretty brilliant and allow you to tweak the initial sounds quite a bit. From a quiver to earthshaking.
I'm using it after my Mood and Zoia to kind of sculpt the sounds I'm making before it. Blurring them a bit and adding motion and texture. Kind of a last bit of seasoning before delay and reverb.
My favorite settings are the stutter and both time stretching modes but I will also be using the envelope and LFO quite a bit because of the way they respond to your signal.
I only wish there were more presets than 4 but you can't have everything. No volume drop off with this pedal and in fact you can address the wet volume as well as mix and in some modes the digital mix. Pretty brilliant. It's come a long way since I heard it at WNAMM in January and I loved it then. Oh, and thank Jebus for the relay bypass soft switches. A big A+++ for me.
