A decent, entry level delay pedal
In summary: A great delay pedal combined with just the right amount of versatility. I cannot find any cons for this pedal.
I wanted to have a delay pedal to spice things up with my Fender Twin. I have to say that this delay pedal is quite good as an entry-level delay pedal.
Pros:
- It just has the right amount of knobs. Time to control the duration between echoes; Mix to decide how much of the original signal you want to combine with the delay effect; Repeat to decide the number of echoes that you get; and a very useful switch that allows you to choose the delay response.
- It isn't noisy at all.
- Usually, if a delay pedal is not well-built, it removes some of the high frequencies (i.e., the circuit acts like a low pass filter whose cutoff frequency is around 1.2k - 4k, depending on the pedal). So you end up with echoes that have lots of low-end, as well as low-mids, but almost no high-end. This is why, in some delay pedals, you have an additional knob to adjust the tone. However, this is certainly not the case for this pedal. It replicated (almost) perfectly the signal.
Cons:
I really cannot find any for this price.
The casing is metal, so it will survive your heavy usage as well!

Very good value and sound
I was surprised by this one. It sounds very nice, even for the price range.
Excellent if you want a simple always-on delay to give some tail to your playing. But if your sound is based on ambiance, I would suggest something more versatile like the flashback
The pedal itself is built like a tank and the top jacks save space in your board, even though the pedal is big. The switch works on release though which is weird.
One note, if you like to play very dynamically with your amp to 10, you will get some hiss from it.

Great for the price
I was looking for a cheap delay pedal that had simple features. Most people would go for Behringer pedals but since I already had used TC Electronics I just went for this one and yeah, nothing much to say, It does the job. Of course watch some review videos on youtube before you buy this so you wouldn't be dissapointed of the sound but other than that it's a good buy for the price. The only thing is that this pedal has input/output and power supply sockets on the top, so you might have to rearrange your pedalboard or rethink your patch cables

Exceeded my expectations!
First of all I want to say that I am really pleased with this little unit. I usually prefer my guitars straight into my amps, but, recently I needed to add some more flavour to my sound(s). So I purchased a few of these inexpensive TC Electronic guitar pedals. You really can't fault this pedal: you can play U2 or just dial in surf sound with it in no time. I also like the fact that it is sturdy! 5 stars for the pedal and 5 for thomann!

A Good Sounding Metal Block
A fairly good digital Delay.
It is built like a bunker in a nuclear shelter. A metal brick.
Control buttons:
(Super simple explanation)
Time - Adjust Time between repeats
Mix - How loud the repeats will be, in relation with the original sound
Repeats - How many repeats you get
And a switch sets the max length of the delay time.
Pros:
+ Very nice sound
+ Easy to adjust
+ Buttons not so stiff, not so loose
+ In/out and power supply on the top side (For some people this is not a +)
+ I think it darkens the sound a bit, in a good way, or maybe it’s just me.
(Again for some people this is not a +)
+ Super cheep
+ Feels like It's going to last for ever
+ I’m happy that I own one
Cons
I cannot find any.
Just to mention not really cons for me.
- It’s Not a Tap Delay
- It has a bit bigger footprint, just a few millimeters.
Value for Money??? OH YES
Super cheap but sounds better than other way more expensive pedals.
Last but not least, this one goes to the people at Thomann.
Excellent work. Always in time... Like a good metronome.

Lovely .... lovely.... lovel....love..... lov .....lo....l
Right.
Great delay as far as I can tell.
I'm a bass player predominantly, but got this for my guitar rig.
Does a great job as far as I can tell. Nice features, easy to use.
I recently did a refit of my bass rig and added it to that. I'm loving it. I use it sparingly, popping it on at the end of songs with sudden stops its always fun. Using it for bass & drum sections sometimes. I never solo so I haven't used it for that. (NEVER DO A BASS SOLO! EVER!)
Built like a tank.
BTW- I've got a bunch of the pedals from this line and all of them come with screws that are SUPER tight. Be warned, if you want to fit 9v batteries you'll find it really hard to get them open the 1st time around. A well fitting screwdriver & patience will sort it. They're fine after that.

Excellent for the money
It is just a bit bigger than a normal pedal from Boss or Behringer. Very solid with big knobs, adjustable by foot. This pedal has a clear nice tone, not to warm, not to cold.
The only feature that it is lacking here is tap button, but you can obtain the same thing through knobs, by tweaking the optimum delay time and number of repeats. But the strong point of this pedal is switch for musical measures: 1/16, 1/8, 3/8. The last one, 3/8 is awesome, allowing to play with echoes intertwined by your original notes. I doubt you can buy anything better for this price.
I can't find any cons, except the lack of tap button, I just love it.

excellent low cost delay pedal
I needed simple digital delay at reasonable price, just to spice up solos on high gain. After a year of using this pedal, I'm not so satisfied with its sound as I was when I just bought it. There is too much "reverb-ish" effect in the sound for my taste (not only in short repeats settings), so outcome sound it is not just a delayed digital copy. Also pedal is adding some color to the original sound in high/high mids range which I don't like. Some guitarist will certainly like such effects, depending on kind of music they are playing.
Good thing is that It is possible to get various effects from it, from reverb like sound to some psychedelic and "space" sounds, with relatively long delay (up to 1300 ms)
Pedal is also built like a tank, with big knobs that you can adjust even with your foot while playing guitar.

Highly Recommended!!
Very good & CLEAN sounding delay which is the most important aspect in my opinion! Also has all the features necessary to get a good sounding delay tweaked to your preference!
