Performance
Easy performance, but you must spend time to know it well.
Performance Rating: 10
Sound Quality
Great sound. Ideal for slapbacks. Think Scotty Moore. It does psychedelic echo. Very versatile. Warm sounding due to the HI-CUT knob that allows Highs degrading as in Tape echoes from the past. Delays of 1 sec. max per repeat which is pretty good. You do not need more. Since I think 23 secs of delay are not musical, just digital stupidity. Quiet when off.
Sound Quality Rating: 10
Construction
Heavy construction, but cheap plastic pots and jacks. The rest is O.K.

Sound Quality
Sounds great, easy to use, killer warm tone. It’s not an Echoplex, but for a fraction of the cost and convience of size, weight, tone and price (with no head cleaning ever), I feel there’s nothing better in a stomp box.
Sound Quality Rating: 10
Construction
Looks really cool and built like a purple tank, with true by-pass and a heavy duty diecast enclosur. My only compliant at all is the silver knobs. They are hard to see and adjust on the fly, but you can fix that with a quick trip to Radio Shack (they have all sorts of knobs there.)
