Ease of Use
:
9
3 knobs for rate, depth, and repeat. This unit has stereo out-puts. In cofiguration it is just like a Boss DM-3 or an Ibanez AD-9. I think it has all the controls it needs but it doesn't have anything special either so I won't give it a 10.
Sound Quality
:
9
To get a '10' a delay unit would have to sound like my Roland Re-301 tape echo. For a small 9volt driven box I think it sounds terrific. It is warm and really very quiet. Much more quiet than the MXR and EH units that people pay $200+ for. I think it sounds as good the DM-3 owned by a friend of mine. It adds no metalic quality to the notes the way Boss DD-3s do.
Reliability

Guyatone made these in the mid 80's and this one functions perfectly despite
a few bumps to the case and some road rash. I've never seen another so I can't comment on the whole line in general. This one looks very solid.

This sounds just has I hoped it would warm and smooth. I was pleasantly surprized at how quiet it was and how silent the foot switch is. For under a hundred dollars I thought it was a great alternative to the known name brands
(Boss, Ibanez, MXR and EH) which all go for $150 up. If I had paid $150 I would still give it a 9. As it was cheaper I give it a 10.
