It's awesome. I just wish it had expression control. That's really the only area it's lacking from my point of view. I like to slowing bring in verb or slowly take it out.
Doesn't Wounded Paw make an exp. blender pedal? They used to.

I bought the digitech polara recently. I'm digging it. Tones of awesome tones you can dial in.

So I just wanted to update. After trash talking walrus customer service in this thread, they hit me up and pedal is now being fixed. There was a definite drop off in communication for a bit that was odd, but looks like everything is going the right direction.

Another update: Received my pedal back from Walrus. Actually a faster turn around than I expected and now it works how I always wanted it to (no volume drop). They also included a bunch of swag in the box which I wasn't expecting for a free mod to a pedal that I didn't even buy or register or anything. Pretty dang cool.

I think the key with the context is the mix knob. When I first got it I thought it sounded terrible because I had the mix up too high. Less than halfway is plenty for me.

Not particularly on-topic, but seriously...What's with all the GAS worthy awesome reverbs and delays coming out recently? That Neunaber, those new beauties from EQD and Hungry Robot, as well as a couple other ones I can't remember right now...

Don't those inconsiderate geniuses know I'm broke as a joke??? :( :( :(

I'm crazy about the reverb sounds of the Context. I really like the plate and gated especially.
The buffer on mine seems to be a real tone suck with the trails on, though. The bypassed signal is much lower than when I have the trails off. Anyone else notice that? Or do I have a bum one?

Yeah, that happens when the mix is not fully anti-clokwise. I asked Red Panda and they said it was normal... So I use it without trails too.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I saw where others mentioned the volume drop but didn't understand that's what they meant.
Makes a pedal that would be great for shoegaze pretty much useless (at least with trails on).
