Okay, so this is... well, not "shitty as expected", but it's found some unexpected ways to be shitty.
First of all, the pedal is an appealing shade of red. But when you turn it on, the light around the footswitch glows green. Huh?
In terms of actual use, the big surprise is that this is barely a reverb pedal, which is to say, most of those modes aren't that thing + reverb, they're just that thing. So you don't get reverb + flange, you just get a shitty flanger effect. Nothing of the right side of the dial actually has reverb. This is an audacious design choice.
The decay knob becomes "speed" for most of these effects. Some are interesting in a crappy way. Twisting the decay knob on the MOD TONE setting gives something I've quickly dubbed "shitty fabrikat". The CHORUS goes from zero to seasick-detuned pretty quickly.
SUR-1 and SUR-2 are different delays, so in reality, the reverbs are just CHURCH, HALL, ROOM-1, ROOM-2 and METAL. (STADIUM is maybe barely a reverb? Like a slapback, kinda?)
Just did a fairly quick test on the Concertmate-500 and the very digital reverbs managed to pick up on the buzzing harmonics the synth generates and create some kinda cool fuzzy tones. Will hopefully try on lap steel tomorrow.
Thank you for braving the unknowns for us all.
I would not have dared.
