Ok guys, I got this pedal three days ago and I've been playing it a lot..... here's my short review of it.
The good:
The pedal is FANTASTICALLY well made, it feels solid, the knobs the enclosure....it's high quality stuff.
The dials all turn really easily but not so easily that you can kick the dials and fuck up your settings. I could turn the dials with my foot quite comfortably without having to bend over because the knobs are big enough.
The sound is off the hook....very smooth and very warm is the word..... the delay just blends with your signal.....it's not a delay pedal that'll get you a "The Edge" type of in your face delay.....it's more like a David Gilmour smooth delay tone. The repetitions and delay time are not that wide, so IMO the pedal excels at slapback type of delays, not really wet sounding delay.....BUT if you turn the dials and set the delay time a bit high and the repetitions as well as the blend knob it'll feel very "liquid".
The bad:
It's not really "bad" per se, but you must know that the delay time isn't too wide.....you will not get a VERY slow delay with this pedal so if you're after that, look elsewhere.
That's it man, I'll make a clip very soon and I'll attach it here. VERY happy with my purchase. I'll add a Flashback just for the added flexibility of having presets and longer delay times for different specific tunes, but the Aqua will be the MAIN delay underneath my tone, it's pure sex.
