Condition:

Features: 

Audiophile high end pedal that fits between the original Leslie / Fender Vibratone and the Uni-Vibe. Utilizing three JJ Tesla 12AX7s at full power, (this is not a tube pedal that runs at a nominal power to claim tube tone), providing speed and depth controls.

Ease of Use: 
5 (easy)
Pros: 

A perfect fit between the clean "phase" vibrato effect of the Fender Vibratone / Leslie and the Uni-Vibe and later "time based" vibrato / chorus effects. Simple to use, cleaner than clean.

Cons: 

Because I'm writing this review for the Dinosaur Rock Guitar website I feel obligated to say that this is not a pedal that would find it's way on most Dino pedal boards. It's ultra clean, sublime, and even a bit ethereal in it's voicing. Near perfect for what it's designed for, it's far more useful in the Blues / Jazz spectrum. For Dino tones it provides a beautiful voicing for Robin Trower / David Gilmour "Dark Side Of The Moon" voicings. It handles gain very well, but, might be too sublime for most Dino's.

Sound Quality: 
5 (excellent)
Customer Support: 

I haven't needed to contact customer support so I really can't say.

Reliability: 

So far............Excellent.
