This arrived on Wednesday but only had a chance to have a proper play yesterday evening. I'd taken the decision to move on my much loved Meet Maude because I wanted tap tempo and the additional functions as i'm limited to one delay by virtue of the size of my board.
Wow. as much as I loved Maude, I dont think I'm going to miss it. This thing sounds stunning. For want of a better description, it sounds expensive. The standard delay has a wonderful warmth without losing clarity; the BBD noise almost feels like vinyl. Probably the first delay I've tried that stands up to my Moog MF104M really competitively. The Xtreme settings all sound great too, and will prove to be brilliant creative tools - the Vibrato set deep and slow is glorious wonk. Tape pretty much does what I loved out of Maude. Then we're on to the Pitch settings. Maybe not as much control as the Thermae, but tonally it absolutely wipes the floor with that. Couple that with the most insane level of packaging, and this has been one of the most impressive pedal discoveries I can think of - real magic.

Always cheers me up when someone lands on something they like.
Nice work, thanks for posting.
High praise indeed mate. These are getting a LOT of love lately, and I’ve just felt the Gasometer rise !!
Is there any background noise mate ?
I must comment on the Jam packaging; I think it’s superb, fun and shows a lot of ‘love’ and thought.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Then you have a Thermae that actually sounds good
Mine Llama is on order - can’t wait for it to arrive!

I think you and I have quite similar tastes and I know you've been through ALL OF THE DELAYS.
(I actually own a Moby Dick, but I'm intrigued as to how it compares to some other things).
One of the techs at Jam told me there was an expander box coming for the llama xtreme. Not sure if it is only a preset switcher or what, but even so it sounds promising!
How many delay pedals is too many ?
Asking for a friend.
