That's more or less the vibe I got from the video and few clips that are up...thanks for the review.
Less dramatic, slightly springy but not quite. How is the slapback?

Jamie mentioned it being a reverb with a "slapback"feature (not to be confused with a delay/reverb)

the slapback is all in the attack knob. The tonefactor video doesn't highlight what all the pedal can do, but more troubling is that the video and audio weren't syncing up well, at least when i watched it. I think that is part of why people were commenting that the knobs don't seem to do a lot. The dwell knob is subtle, and I doubt the video can convey what it does. watch the video again but watch for him to turn the attack knob, then a second or two later you can hear a pitch warble, as if you were fiddling with the knobs on an oscillating delay pedal. You can either consider the attack knob as a means of changing the dimensions of the hall or a slapback with just one repeat of the reverb reflections then the ambience of the reverb decay.

Thanks for the clarification.

As much as I love Brad @ tonefactor for uber fast shipping and great deals (and that secret cbread pedal :erm:) their demos are almost always aweful.

+1 they did have a decent run for a little where they were able to at least demo some feature-laden pedals (ex. prometheus) that helped me out a bit. Still, the videos don't demo the sound as well as need be.

Made some clips of the pedal.

caveat. I loaded these directly from the digitech jamman...I think the jamman may have clipped my signal a bit when I was using the EQD White Light.

I'd prefer watching demos over at Pro Guitar Shop. The only problem is that they don't always have what I'm looking for, the Ghost Echo is a good example of that.

The real joy for me is playing "name that riff", while Andy is playing.

I guess PGS isn't stocking Earthquaker anymore. The only thing they have left is a black eye boost. I have to wonder about that store. I know they have this high expectation that a manufacturer will be able to replenish their stock quickly, but something just seems fishy with them. :idk:

I'm pretty sure if Jamie is still dealing with them they won't get a shipment for a while, since he is out touring for the rest of the month.
