Analog Delay

Built well, It’s definitely for beginners but great to get some different sounds and experiment with. Small enough to fit on any pedal board. Easy to use with distortion, tone and volume knob. I would recommend these pedals to anyone starting out.

Has a nice clean sound to it

I own 3 variations of these Horse branded pedals now, and I decided to change my review to talk about the most intriguing one. The nascar delay. Being a pedal builder myself, and having built several analog delays, I was really curious if this BBD delay had actual bucket brigade chips in it. Turns out that it does! It has two MN3208’s which will give you around 300ms of total delay time. I can’t say for certain but, I’m willing to bet that this is a clone of the Joyo branded nascar delay albeit, some slight differences. First off, this pedal has mostly surface mount components compared to the joyo’s through hole. That’s no big deal and has no effect on sound or tone. The second difference is the delay chips. The Joyo version uses V3205 BBDs vs. the MN3208s in this one. That doesn’t really affect sound and tone but, it does mean this version has about half of the delay time of the Joyo version. Another thing I noticed is that out of the box, the repeats were kinda distorted. That’s pretty indicative that the delay chips weren’t biased properly so I don’t think the manufacturer spends a whole lot of time setting these up. At least this one anyway. Since I had a couple of Coolaudio V3205’s in my inventory, I threw them in this pedal, gave it the Boss DM-2 calibration treatment, and voila! It sounds so much better and has a lot more delay time. Now, if you think you can buy this delay, tear it apart, and just swap the chips, you’d be mistaken. It requires adjustment to the trimpots to get everything sounding and working properly. You need to understand how the circuit works and at the very least, have and know how to use, an audio probe. Best to use an oscilloscope and signal generator. Overall, I’m really impressed with this delay. After a BBD swap and proper adjustments, it’s even more impressive.

Solid as a rock. Gorgeous tone. For the price? Just get it!Only negative? Be a bit careful when you stomp the switch, that way you don’t crush the control knobs. But for the price? C’mon.My 2nd Horse pedal.

I REALLY wanted to love this pedal, tremolo is my favorite effect, but it's really dry and one dimensional to my experienced ear (I've been playing since 1977) not my cup of tea. You get what you pay for.

Works just like it should.

It's pretty remarkable that you get a genuine, analog chorus pedal, in a metal enclosure, for around $17. It's a clone of an Ibanez CS9, and it uses what look like salvaged, but authentic chips: MN3207 & MN3102. They've even improved upon the original, and changed it to true bypass.Unlike many clone pedals, there's no blindingly blue LED. It's a relatively tame, clear red.

The media could not be loaded. This is a fantastic sounding light TS-style overdrive pedal. It does what a TS pedal is supposed to do, pushes your amp into a nice, mid-gain overdrive. The gain range goes from light breakup to a heavier crunch. The tone does what a tone knob is supposed to do, and the volume will give you a slight boost at it's max volume settings.The real win with this pedal is the price + the footprint + the construction. At this price, you probably wouldn't expect much from the build quality, but this is a very well built and robust pedal, you could easily throw this on a gigging pedal board and not worry about it getting damaged. And even if you're unnecessarily abusive to your pedals and somehow do manage to damage it, the price makes it easy to replace. I'd recommend this pedal for any beginner player who wants to get their first overdrive pedal or an intermediate or journeyman player who wants a working TS style overdrive that they can put on a board and not worry about.In the audio clip I'll include with this, I used a stock Reverend Flatroc into a Fender Superchamp X2. Buy this pedal!
