A time machine for us simpletons, Eezy Peezy knobs to turn and numbers to turn to.
A quick satisfying rush of retro flange and delay ready to tweak and sculpt.

Bit noisy if your heavy handed
Using it with a Vox ac15 and a beat up old white tele, oops! should mention the Hotcake.

Been dropped/sat on/wine showers and left outside at a barby for 3 days.
Still works 20yrs later. Always no backup.

Takes a couple of minutes to work out what your doing on account of the numerous knobs and switches
Two switches - Headroom level (basically a pad)
- Delay/flanger/bypass
Seven Knobs - Input level, Tone, Delay Time, Width, Speed,
Regeneration and blend.

Amazing! The Echoes are nice and warm and don't have that robotic sound that digital delays tend to have. It does the endless echo/feedback think ala Mogwai very well. Handles all the usual flanger/leslie type sounds but sounds nice and lush unlike modern boss/ibanez crap.

Well I'm guessing this thing is approaching 20 years old (if not already past it) and its still going. I can't imagine a zoom 505 lasting 20 years.....

I'm into the more psychedelic side of things My Bloody Valentine/Beatles etc so this thing suits me fine.
I play through a fender strat plus into an Ampeg Reverbrocket.
I also run a casio synth through this unit
Its the best $95 I've spent on FX - I imagine it's probably worth a bit on account of its rarity - there's little to no information about it on the net.
