That is really all you need to know.
There's a bit of a thread over at the Copilot sub -

and some info here

Mine turned up the other day, and for anyone waiting on a new No Memory... you could keep waiting, or you could pick up a Kinkilin and go nuts. UNGH! So good. Controls are very interactive which makes for a lot of fun. Might do a demo but I'm kind of over demos at the moment. Anyways, this little dude should be getting way more attention round these parts.

I really like Copilots shit man. He makes some bananas stuff. I will be investigating his offerings further in the near future. What would you say is your favorite feature of this delay? I have like 5 delays and they all kind of do different things but I'm always looking for another.

This delay sounds incredible.
What input/output jacks are there? I can't find a proper photo of the body... If this has an expression input on it, I'll definitely be picking one up.

Favourite feature: tough one.
The modulation is nuts. It is the same as on his normal pedals with an LFO - so you get six LFO shapes (including random!), rate that goes from slow to really fast, and depth. So you can set a slow rate, random modulation and a gentle depth and it really does sound like a tape messing up. Add in a little noise from the noise knob and the tape heads need both adjusting and cleaning. Haha. But with the depth up high and the rate high and with the random LFO it just gets into glitchy gibberish. So normally when I read "modulated delay" I don't really get excited, because it sounds like someone has just put a nice vibrato on the delay line - which is good and all, but not anything groundbreaking. But this can do beautiful stuff, it can do crazy stuff. You name it. You can make new sounds that you don't normally get from a delay. At least none of my delays
I really like the noise. Being able to use it as an almost white noise generator is awesome. And you can modulate the noise with the modulation.
It is not a pristine delay in any sense of the word - perhaps at delay times down under 600 ms, with pretty heavy filtering and the noise off, yeah then it is PT-clean. But I don't want clean delays so that's fine.
There isn't really a standard version from what I gather. I think Adam has made a few with the expression controlling different things. My expression pedals are in the rehearsal room, so tbh I don't know what the expression is controlling on mine haha. But I'm fairly certain you could get Adam to map most if not all features to the expression.
The big knob you can turn with your foot on mine controls the modulation depth, so it is easy to turn it inaudible, or crazy.

My favorite feature was definitely the noise/dirt you can blend in. Made loops/samples/whatever plug through it sound super lo-fi/tape-melting

I was in touch with Adam earlier today and he confirmed he can add input expression jacks for any parameter, it'll just require a bigger (and non-etched) enclosure.
Count me in.
