Fellas/fellettes, tell me about this. Got one via the generous dude who sold me my JC-120, only just today got the Onespot adapter (I hear it eats 9v batteries for breakfast). I've already scoped the America's Pedal page on them, but would love to hear some ILF opinions. Anyone else rock one? Any good settings you use? I play shoegazey stuff and am open to opinions, this is by no means a pedal I'll be using constantly as of yet. Thanks in advance!

I had one of these. It was fun to mess w/ the time to get the crashing speed up/slow down sounds. I remember that mine was noisy when bypassed. You could hear the delay faintly even when it was turned off. I ended up getting rid of it for this reason. (Maybe mine was defective?)

There's a trimpot you can fiddle with inside that can get you longer, more lofi repeats. Also, noisy self-oscillation.
I don't have the bypass noise PJ mentions.
Stick it in a feedback loop and it'll be your best friend.

I opened it up, marked the factory trimpot positions with a pencil, and messed with it last night. I'm mainly looking for more repeats, not just oscillations (though those are dope). Apparently the delay trimpot has very little useable range, so I didn't mess with that much. But I cranked the repeats trimpot clockwise to no significant effect!
Oh, and my pedal is pretty noiseless when it's off.
