Just picked one up today. It has a very warm analog sound, and while it doesn't have all the features of the headrush (I have a boomerang for long loops) it does have a nice warm, smooth sound to it. Controls are: Mix, Speed, Repeats (Decay), Hi-cut & lo-hi (short long) selector. Worth checking out for a tasty sounding analog "tape" delay. It has about 1 1/2-2 secs. delay time (at a guess, it doesn't say in the manual). I am a string player so I can't really vouch for how it sounds w/ guitar, but I would assume (considering its probably geared towards guitar-like things ;)) that it sounds as good. Like anything else, play w/ one yourself. Goes for 70-80 bucks new, your mileage may vary. Even cooler than this toy, I discovered "Smokey Amps" (www.smokeyamps.com). The coolest sounding (and smallest) solid state amp/fuzz box I've come across (for a mere 25 bucks). I may just ditch my 2 ton rackmount. *grin* It's built into a pack of smokes and features an average sounding 2 inch speaker (what do you expect) but it sounds REALLY good when you plug it into a cab. I was fairly impressed that something so tiny could sound so big (and so good). How cool is that? ;) Now if they could only fit an echoplex & rackmount fx into a matchbox I could fit my entire rig into a violin case.
