I LOVE my Biyang AD-8 Delay pedal (dark sound capable of up to 1.1 ms of delay time, true bypass, metal enclosure) and was heartbroken to find that the stomp switch has broken :(

Easy Fix! DPDT From Smallbear and half an hour with a soldering iron + Desolder Pump. Even if you've never soldered before you can probably do it.

These Biyangs seem really well made for the cost though I gotta say, I didn't like the sound of the delay when I tried it but I can't argue with the build.

I like my AD-8 a lot. i wouldn't have it as my only delay because it's limited soundwise, but i quite like it for what it does.

Great thread :thumb: for the short of wallet. My Washburn Analog delay was really cheap, and sounds it... unless you have it within the DE Eye of God, when it comes alive.

in my opinion this pedal is hands down one of the best muff variants ever. Fucking love this pedal, it sounds so perfect all the time.

and this guy, for 14$ is hands down the coolest fucking most unique sounding echo i've ever heard.

i use the shit out of it.

and when it runs out of battery it oscillates when its off.

Are there even any terrible sounding super fuzzes?

Also I got one of these for about $35 shipped and it's pretty sweet for a basic delay/texture looper.
Tweaking a trim pot got me self-oscillation as well :yay:
