Ok, this thing is expensive, no doubt. One could argue for its price it is to specialized especially compared to some multieffect pedals. But, the sound is great, absolutely interstellar, so to speak. The hardware quality is outstanding and it comes with the option to connect expression pedals for rate AND frequency, which gives you a lot of sound scultping freedom. I currently use it with an echo effect upfront into the clean channel of my amp. Because the pedal has quite a high output, I can dial it in on the amp in a way that it is clean, if I play my guitar gently but starts to crunch it up when I hit it. I love that.
