The front panel has all these controls plus an lfo rate and depth, feedback and a clix control (I think for syncing to some kind of input but no midi). On the back panel are mono in/out, power out for the footpedal,clix input and power in. The power supply is internal so for the US it would need to be converted (or ordered for US spec) To get the 16 sec you have to use the slow speed p[layback which lowers sample rate and so sounds different to high speed but it's a great sound. In fact I often play guitar through on slow set to short delay and no feedback with lfo on just for this sound. It has that great mellow sound that the EH has . AFAIK it's electronically authentic replica and it's performance reflects this. The build quality is a little home made but as they are built to order I guess he'll use higher spec components (switches and buttons etc.) if you ask for them. When I got one the price was about £400 UK sterling. This isn't cheap for what it is but when you see the originals going for $1000+....if you can find one. It's more roadworthy than the original and sound great. I will post contact details privately to anyone that is interested. Martin Shellard
