feedback wormhole.
Crazy little box. Warning: Not for the fainthearted!
First of all - make sure you have some sort of volume limiter after it (limiter, compressor etc), since the feedback screams can build up fast.
Don't plug it straight to a PA system or you will cause mayhem if feedback is cranked to a certain value.
Sound quality: since it's an analog circuitry (for the signal path, effects are digital), you will have noise. Mainly high frequency noise, and it's quite audible. You can reduce it with filter cutoff, but then you will loose top end fidelity of course.
As for functionality, it has 8 effect modes:
- Chorus
- Flanger
- Wave Glide I
- Wave Glide II
- Delay I
- Delay II
- Reverb I
- Reverb II
Also, if you dial in the volume to a specific value (near clipping), the device enters into a 'secret' mode where it starts to bounce between effects taking characteristics from multiple effects and combining them. Interesting results.
Combined with feedback and envelope follower you can achieve cool grooves when running beats through.

Inspiring but probably not what you'd expect
I use it in the studio and also for live performances in the effects loop.
If I use it live then I usually end up just creating some hellwrecking noise with it. But in the studio, when tweaked carefully, it can make some dull tracks (e.g. sampled rythms) sound beatiful and alive.
At first I was a bit dissapointed that it doesn't have tap tempo and there are too many ways to mess up the sound so that it's quite impossible to be used as a conventional delay but once I got over that, i started loving this device. I've owned it for about 4 months now and there's still some things which i don't quite understand about it... and for me that's inspiring.

parfais mais ...
Impeccable dans la globalité mais difficile de mettre en place rapidement. nécessite pas de temps pour maitriser mais y a moyen de faire des effets bien perso et originaux !
