I really dig it! It's probably my favorite delay to date.

It's dirty, finnicky, and lofiy all the way.
I would get one new if possible. They never really released a version 2 or anything, they just started fixing the problems of the original. I think they mod older models for free but its still a hassle. I had one of the first runs back in November and there were soooo many problems with it. But now! They're good! I've had this one since about March i think.
okay so. I'm really bad at writing what I think about pedals so I'm just gonna throw random stuff out there
the modulation is pretty gooey delicious. Both knobs have a lot of range. It really adds this floaty feeling to the repeats and they sound like the repeats are doing they're own thing and it meshes really well with the dry signal. But it can get pretty wild too
It feels like it's own instrument at some times. It's really easy to set it to oscillate but just so that it never starts to feedback at ridiculous volumes (although it does that easily too). But it can go on for like minutes... no HOURS with that kind of sound like at the end of Karma Police. At that point it doesn't really sound like original signal anymore but its a cool thing to have going behind the dry signal AND the repeats of what you just played. That's probably what it's best at.
It's a pretty thin sounding delay. There isn't much bass to the delays. But i think I like that. The tone knob gets pretty trebly but can also get some mush going on with it turned down. But still, not that bassy or low endy at all. Which I think is why it meshes well with the dry signal. Cause all the bassyness of the signal can get mushy pretty easily but if there's just trebly stuff trying to be mushy, it just sounds pretty because it's light and airy. And if you're doing rhymthic stuff, all you want is the attack and then it to just be ambienty
The chase mode is a little toooo trippppy sometimes but its wonky and I dig it
It's not the best to just be ambient with. Swells don't last long before they fade away or lose their mojo and get all aqua puss on you. but I bet if paired with a digital delay or big reverb, you can get the lofi and/or dirty and/or airy sounds with the long repeats of the digi delay to get long swells and such. With the ghost echo, it gives it that ambiance and space it needs to send it into ambient territory. But still, not very long repeats.
But even the stuff that sounds like are not good things to hear are why I like it.

This video shows off a lot of the sounds you can get with it and you can hear a lot of the stuff I mentioned. I mostly keep it set kinda like it sounds aroun 2:00 to 2:30 but I move it around a lot.
That's a lotta words looking back at it but ive been asked questions about it before that i didn't really answer very well so maybe this can make up for it
