Very easy. They have a knob to take jumps to from "echo" to "doubling" etc. for leaps in delay time instead of fine-tuning or getting close to what you want.

Shockingly good. This series of Ibanez pedals is outstanding. From the Delay Champ to the DML III, they are all good. I particulary like these and the modulation delay ones as you can dial in a really fat slapback, faux-rockabilly, psudo-surf, thing with them. Most delays just sound toooo cheesy in these settings, this Ibanez series is much better. Not a lot of hiss, sound degredation, etc. which is nice too.
Obviously can't do a warm AD-80 thing, but that's why I have one of those too.

Great pedals. Some may have an iffy switch at times, but I have been lucky. Use a wall wart, or power supply, delays eat batteries like nobody's business.

Big fan of this series of delays. I like the whole lot of them. I'd take them over ANY Boss delay (with the possible exception of the DM-2). If you want to use it as a straight delay - great, slapback - you bet, all sorts of great stuff in there. In this category it gets a 10 (for value), nothing can touch these things for all it can do for less than $75.

This is a great digital delay. Why Ibanez quit making them is
a mystery to me. I have had this since 1989 and it still works
like the day I got it, granted that I haven't use it all that often.
I have heard other peoples digital delay, but I don't think any of
them beat this one.

this is a 10 series delay u know theseries after the infamous 9 this seems to be the one from the power sreies from 85 to 88 anywayz this is a great sounding digital delay not good for analog warm sound but good for digital its got delay up to 2 min 40 sec witch is weird cause most stompbox delays are only 2 min its got 4 knobs one is for small medium and large echo as well as for filtering and slapback the other 3 knobs are for depth and repeats AND AMOUNT OF DELAY
u caN GET COUNTRY SLAPBACK all the way to crazy towns butterfly delay like i said before itsnot a warm sounding delay if you want a warm sounding one get the ad9 9 series
