Overall Rating 5/5 (5 reviews)

Wow this is so much more than an echo, its a double tracker, an old fashioned echo chamber, it has modulation and overdrive as well. Its so good and versatile that |I am even considering buying a second unit for my pedalboard. Easily the best pedal I have bought in a very long time
