delay for those who appreciate a nice tape echo with all its
peculiarities. Its unique tone control doubles as a noise filter
on longer delay settings and really helps the delay shine
with a dirty signal. The mix control allows you to boost the
effected signal to nearly 4x the original signal level and the
modulation can go from subtle pitch shifting warble to ultra
fast tremolo speeds while the LED visually shows the rate.
