A very special piece of gear...
I've wanted to buy an analog tape delay for a while and this one was: small enough, with good sound quality and excellent quality (very steardy materials, nice snappy switches, nice knobs).
First thing out of the box: it is beautiful. Great design (in my opnion), with enough features to shape your sounds with coarse and fine adjustment.
I was looking for a very vintage sounding module. If you are looking for a clear, bright and extremely reliable delay: don't go for this one. I was looking for something more experimental that would induce errors and trials (things that are part of my creative process).
It is a very good match for me, because of the particular use that I have of it. Good build quality, and steardy materials. It will not behave at all like a clear sounding delay, and I was looking for that. The distortion effect is really nice. I use it in an Arturia 3U Rack, with a Korg MS20 mini and a Arturia Minibrute.

I love it
I did 2 of these for stereo tape delay and it's delicious. It has lots and lots of character which is why you buy a real tape delay. It can get very gritty when saturated, its just wonderful. very solid build quality. Yes is makes mechanical noise but not as much as other tape delays I use. We're lucky T-Rex made these.

Good idea with bad mechanics
Device arrived with some scratches. Module have loud mechanical noise. So all this dropped to two stars of quality.
