I think it was made around 1993, i bought it new but cant remember the year. It does delays, and its programable. It is stereo in/out, but I use it as mono in/stereo out. It is OK. It is terrible to program. I gave up, and use the presets only rarely, as my amp and axe sound excellent just the way they are. It only does delays, so it can reproduce flange, chorus, mono tapped/dual tapped/mono/stereo/offset/dual delays. They all sound fine. Not outstanding, but fine.

AXE-EVH Wolfgang standard/Ibanez rg570 modded and it does what I need it to do and no more.
There is no distortion on this it is delay only so you need a kick arse amp and/or preamp. I use a JMP1 so its fine in partnership.

Ive been playing for about 17yrs and have finally a great sounding rig (well have had for years now). This is a puny part of that, and if it was stolen or it stopped working one day I couldnt care less and gives me an excuse to go and get a new one that suits my taste better. As I am now a father of two I dont gig at present so I really have no desire to upgrade just yet. But if all you want is delay (like I did) then its great, reliable but programming it is TERRIBLE, forget about it!!!
