125b top mount delay?

I'm looking for a simple delay pedal for slapback tones. I've heard the Aqua Puss is good for this, but its kind of big for a simple analog delay. Looking around but it seems there aren't many delays in this size box.

I've also seen the TWA echo in a nano enclosure, but that size pedal kind of bugs me. However, for something like $70, I might snag one.

Anyways, am I overlooking something or is there really not a delay pedal this size?

Greenhouse Retro Sky and the Red Witch Violet/Violetta are the only ones i can think of.
Aqua Puss is worth it though, they sound so good for bass slapback.

Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail. So GASworthy.

Man, I might get one and chuck a ring mid in the loop. Or an octave fuzz...

Or, get all inception and put a feedback loop in the effect loop with something cool in the feedback loop.

Damn, forgot about that one too. As much as I love my ES-2, I find myself not using the oscillation or the modulation switches at all. Nor the extra delay time :idk:
So something small with top jacks and the ability to experiment with my own modulation through the loop...Very gasworthy indeed :excellent:
I kinda got used to having a tap tempo switch though :s

Seriously. I find it so hideous though.

Its not as bad as that Greenhouse delay (no offense to Roy but dat shits ugly). Aqua Puss is pretty ugly too and I don't like the name. Really, all of those Way Huge pedals have stupid names. One reason I've overlooked them for a while.

Vapor Trail seems pretty cool but it seems pretty dark. I think I want something a little brighter for slapback tones.

I honestly might just get that TWA Echo. I can squeeze it next to my nano tuner at the beginning of my chain for pre-dirt slapback, and its $80 brand new. Juan has a demo of it but I'll need to listen again.

I don't disagree... Which is what 120-grit sandpaper and black spraypaint are for...
