BBE Two Timer

Just four knobs. Very simple. Not much to the manual but I really don't care.

Main guitar is a MIM Strat. Running through a peavey valveking head and two cabs with a variety of speakers.

True bypass makes life a breeze. Echo sounds are very pure. I can even get a nice surf rock slapback kind of tone out of this pedal. Having two delay times is an excellent feature. I've read about this pedal popping when you hit the footswitch on but I have yet to hear this out of my unit.

Seems to be built pretty sturdy. It is also analog which is always a better choice over digital any day when it comes to sound quality and reliability. Also, if something were to go wrong, an analog pedal is fixable ;)

Haven't dealt with them.

Playing a mixture of stoner rock and experimental music this pedal is a nice thing to have. Good tones. Sturdy build. IT'S ANALOG AND TRUE BYPASS!

Dead easy. Two individual time settings, Mix, and repeat. Mix adjusts the ratio of wet/dry. Repeats is, well, how many cycles of repeating the delay you want. The Mix and repeat are global for both of the settings, complain if you want, I think it's fine.

Easy to get at battery compartment - you don't have to screw the whole back on and off like a Hammond box.

Top of the pedal 9v - thank you! Input outputs are also where they should be.

An LED for Time 1 or Time 2 near that selector switch, and a big purpley-blueish one at the top for when the unit is on.

Okay, I fired it up with Time 1 at 11am, and Time 2 full up. Repeats at noon, and Mix at 1pm. I was greeted with a nice slapback on 1 and a very familiar analog delayed repeat with Time 2. Very pleasing delays. It's a winner for the slapback sound alone IMO. Having the second delay is a nice to have.

For reference I have a vintage AD-80 Analog Delay, just sold a DM-2, and have an Analog Man modded DD-3 (the treble reducing delay mod). I've owned most of the typical delays, besides the above such as Ibanez's DML-II, DML-III, Delay, ADL, Delay Champ, Digitech's, etc. I dig a good delay, but in the end I kept 2. The AD-80 is on the big board, and the DD-3 is on the smaller board. This is probably replacing the DD-3. (But I'll keep the DD-3.)

The DD-3 gets me more delay time-wise, and is a bit more flexible, but the option of having 2 different delays and true-bypass is really hard to beat.

There is a pop when you engage the effect. That may be a gripe for many of you. Not an explosion pop like channel switching a Fender Prosonic combo, but a "pap" when you stomp it on.

They say it's true-bypass, it sounds like it to me. Is there a bit of change in your original signal when it's on? Yeah, you can hear that, but after all it's an effect.

While it's on, switching between the 2 time settings you will hear a bit of adjustment like if you had a single delay and twisted the knob. That's the way it should be IMO, but some people are going to hear something and wonder what that was. Fine with me though.

Great sound right out of the box. Very fun pedal!

It's a solid, piece of kit for sure. I really like it so far. The pots are smooth an feel substantial. Big stomp switches, like the paint and graphics too.

N/A

Well, I was looking for these and wondering when they were going to drop. I heard some rumors about availability of the "Bucket Brigade" chip and some other stuff that might have been holding it up. Would have liked to play one and not buy it sight unseen/unheard, but at the price including shipping, I didn't think it was that much of a gamble.

Love the 2 settings, love the slapback, happy about true-bypass, and the longer delays are in the sonic zipcode of my AD-80 and old DM-2. Great pricepoint and a solid box to boot. It's going to be real hard to beat this pedal. Country/Rockabilly guys are going to go nuts for it.

The pop when it's engaged might grind the gears of the super fussy George L's, Silver Wire, $100 guitar cord, dragging $6k worth of gear to the $25 take home gig crowd, but they have a Fulltone TTE anyway right? Ha.

They throw in a 9v adapter in the box too
