- What kind of effects or effect types are available?

Good question... This pedal produces the effect you send in the loop. To put it in other words, this pedal is a high-quality looper AND a mixer. You can boost and equalize the signal going through the loop.

- Which technology is used?

Good analog technology, no noise, high-quality buffer, effective bass and treble EQ.

- Connections?

In/Out and Send/Return for the loop.

Both switches allow you to bypass the pedal and to switch between looper and blender (mixer) modes.

UTILIZATION

It's very easy... Just use the loop...

SOUND QUALITY

It's a Xotic... It could be better but it's always very musical...

OVERALL OPINION

I personally use it to mix my Eventide Time Factor. I keep the DRY signal and I mix with the TF (Kill Dry function ON). The big knob can be controlled with the foot so it's like an expression pedal for the delay mix...

The sound turns cleaner...

I recommend this pedal to people who don't want to color the signal with digital effects like the Boss DD20 for example.

I also tested it with an overdrive pedal... The result was great with the following settings: dry/wet mix = 20/80. The sound gained more punch and clarity thanks to that small amount of dry signal...

People looking for a mono mixer for their pedalboard don't have many options but this one is a high-quality solution...
