I turned 30 on the weekend, and as i have a serious addiction to guitar stuff decided to get a delay pedal =0

Real estate on my pedalboard is restricted so depending on what i'd get it would inevitably replace the other delay on the board , in my case a TC flashback delay

The Flashback replaced the MXR carbon copy... and now as the title suggests , the brigadier replaced the flashback.

The flashback was great, in terms of size and flexibility it's hard to beat, i used it for certain passages using the steve morse toneprint for big analog sounding swell/delays, but ultimately since i would forget to set tap tempo before a song starts i would end up using the delays on the M9 instead, which are very useable but nothing to write home about.

I was pretty impressed by the T Rex Reptile 2, which sounds great but i've always had an eye out for the strymon, i eventually decided on the brigadier instead of the el capistan as i'm really into analog sounding delays

It arrived monday, and didn't disapoint, I tried it out a bit side by side to the flashback before putting it on the board in case, but after about 1-2 hours of dialing in something i liked and tripping out like a 60s kid listening to jimi, i cut the velcro and re'arranged the board

the infinite repeat feature is really neat, but ultimately it's a really great sounding analog DMM style delay, as the random youtube vid below demonstrates

 
Congrats!!!! I love the Flashback, for my tastes and uses, its perfect. I love the warmth of tape as well as the crispness of digital and for me, the flashback is the perfect mix of both and for the price, its a no brainer...

thanks =0 , yeah totally, also doubles as a decent chorus if you set the delay time in 'mod' mode to the lowest,

I would keep it on the board, but i've run out of space =( and no amount of re'arranging will fix that, unless i replace the barber tone press... but the closest equivalent i've found is the BYOC 5 knob... not sure how good it is

will be keeping the flashback handy til then
