Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

The OX remains some of the best verbs sounds Ive heard.
Joe posted this to his Facebook page, said it’s the best verb pedal he’s ever heard
Starlight Echo Station.
My first thought was that I wasn’t interested, only one sound out of four that I really wanted, and no MIDI - which I’d expect for £355 along with multiple delay types.
But given what youTubers and reviewers are saying about the quality of the tones I’m having second thoughts. For me it is a chunk of cash, but in the context of wanting tape delay sounds the price is comparable to other digital pedals that claim to sound like tape, and cheaper (smaller, and presumably more reliable) than an actual tape machine.
FWIW I'm hoping it will provide fresh tape & serviced machine tones - rather than the caricature warped and lo-fi sounds many pedals offer as tape. I guess there is a slim chance they might offer a 2290 or 'coloured digital' download in future (not a reason to buy on the off-chance though).
So now I think I want to hear one through an amp for myself (i.e. not just a youTube video) - which will require waiting of course, but I'm happy to wait for the price to drop a bit anyway (once the folk who pre-order have got theirs and the majority of retailers have stock and start competing on price).
If anyone here has played through one I’d be interested to know what they make of it.
You could argue there's a limit to how amazing a delay or a reverb can sound because it's just echoes in the background, innit?

I do have negatives though. Whilst I personally am not so fussed about the lack of midi as I don't use it in my rig (but a lot of people do) but the lack of an expression or external tap tempo is irritating, also just two presets is a bit lame, for the price range it could have had both midi and expression (possibly a LED display too?) this could be a deal breaker for many. But I like the sound so much I'm going to forgive them as if I'm honest when I gig I only ever use a couple of delay sounds anyway.
I'm after a Tremolo and was going to get a Flint (3rd one!) but after playing this I'm extremely tempted to get the Astra.
