Nice demo. That's a great sounding delay.

How am I supposeded to tell if I like the pedal without a video full of really sick SRV licks?
J/K sounds great.

The echo control on my old AD4096 introduced this strange bright artificial sounding tone I just couldn't jive with. And 300ms was a little short for my needs. Then Endangered Audio confirmed the eventual release of a 900ms unit with tap tempo and cv/exp options so I decided to wait on that. Sadly it seems that release is going the way of the 919...

That was my experience with my brief AD4096 ownership as well. There was a metallic, almost ring mod, quality to the repeats that just didn't do it for me. On guitar at least, I thought it sounded FANTASTIC with my synth but I couldn't justify keeping it around for synth use only.
That said, this demo of it sounds absolutely wonderful and makes me think that maybe I gave up on it too soon.

You know that's what I really dig about it. It took me a minute to get there, the pedal threw me off at first... but then it dawned on me that there's just no other delay out there that sounds like this, and that's awesome.

With all that being said, I use it on bass and synth, maybe I won't feel it on guitar, haven't tried it yet.

Good demo but convinced me what I had already suspected: not for me.
I need at least 500ms to even consider having the delay on the board (for cleanish guitar, double that for synth or fuzz), and the artifacts (which sound just like a bad cheapie reverb pedal from the 80s) drive me batty.
The warp switch I dig but lready have that on one of my customs.
And double the sentiment of 'not a SRV lick demo' thanks.

I think he used to deliver groceries and the like in a small motorhome like vehicle (true story , there was actually an SRV man here in The Netherlands doing that when I was a kid).
