The Disaster Sr and Ditto are actually brand new but so far so good.
The Ditto is the perfect simple no frills looper. I still use my Timeline for the crazy shit (reverse/half-speed/double-speed/etc), basically everything I used to use my beloved DL4 to do in terms of looping and then some. The Ditto is the polar opposite. Both are fantastic.
The Disaster Sr sounds amazing and has TONS of sounds within. Dual tape-style delays, one long (600ms) and one short (300ms),one with mod and the other with verb, bleed function, and a really clever parallel/series/true bypass switching setup. You can run 'em solo or together, then hit the master bypass and take the Disaster outta the chain altogether OR keep the master bypass on at all times and use the Delay A/B switch to utilize the "trails" function when switching off. Also has expression function for each delay but I haven't made it that far yet. Oh, it rules being hit with fuzz/dirt too, something EQD always addresses in their pedal design thankfully.
As for sounds, they're gorgeous. Can go really subtle or totally fucking whacked out. The mod is pretty intense when you go pushing the depth and rate, can even approach pitch bending Clari(not) territory and the verb sounds nice. Not quite the Ghost Echo but good nonetheless. It really starts to get lush and swirly and all out weird when you utilize the bleed and funnel Delay A into Delay B.
I have a LaoWiz built Multiplex that also kicks ass, like a 3-mode tape based delay that includes all the classics and a tape speed momentary switch for the crazies. These two delays cover most any tape sound I'm after. Prefer bo†h the the dTape setting on my Timeline.
