Kmise Analog Delay Electric Guitar Effects Pedal,True Bypass,Tip‑Negative

This is a great delay. I’ve noticed that no two delay pedals, even those of the same brand, will have the exact same characteristics. Every pedal is different and I’ve owned 5 other analog delays over the years (the joyo green analog delay, caline blue ocean, dod fx90, behringer analog delay, and a boss dm3). The behringer was actually quite good and had a really distinct sound when self oscillating, but it stopped producing delays after about a few years, probably due to the cheap plastic components. The Joyo and Caline were essentially copies of each other, but the Caline is more sensitive when adjusting. The DOD was my least favorite, it added a lot of darkness and detuned the repeats in an unappealing way. The boss dm3 was my favorite but being a 35 year old pedal, it’s lost clarity over the years. It also maxes out at 300 ms. This little pedal here really really surprised me. And it could be that it’s just a really good build, the specific one I received. The repeats are quite strong for an analog delay - I already used it on a song I was tracking straight out of the box. After some tweaking and adding some reverb on top, I’m getting some Syd Barrett type of echorec tape delay repeats out of it, which like I said was really surprising. These Chinese bootleg pedals have come a really long way since I discovered them about a decade ago. A lot of analog delays will add darkness to the signal, especially when set to long repeat times. This one maintains clarity - even at long repeats, which is important to me because I’m using this for home recording. The less post eq, the better. It’s excellent and for $22, you really cannot beat the value. I place it second in my chain after a compressor but before the overdrive/dirt box, that really makes it shine. Placement is everything, depending on what sound your after. On a final note - I cannot read pedal schematics or understand circuit boards, so I’m not sure if this is a “true” bucket brigade delay chip or a digital delay, it does behave like an analog delay but has very clear repeats like a dd3. This might matter to some people, but I haven’t investigated further. Thanks again lotmusic for the great value and awesome pedal!

It’s is decent for the money, and it is a contribution to the forgotten population in this unfair society…

Dirt cheap and works as well as other analog delays I have from decades ago. I got this for a "stripped down" footprint when playing without my regular pedal board. No power supply, but a standard 9V plug works fine. It's simple and instinctive and the casing seems sturdy. The sound quality (i.e., repeats) is accurate and adjustable depending on how you want to mix the volume and timing. There are other inexpensive delay pedals but this was the least expensive and Kmise stands by their products if you have a problem.

Really liked the different delay tones I could get, rugged housing

This was the last pedal I needed to get really close the that early EVH sound. With the overdrive/gain at a certain level, a bit of distortion, and a certain amount of delay with this pedal along with my super Strat - bingo! Those first few notes of Runnin With The Devil sound pretty darn close! It’s the rest of the song that my fingers can’t do, lol. RIP, Eddie. Recommended!

I had to send it back. Pops massively when turned on. I would steer clear of this one.

The delay aspect works just fine, but it boosts volume and adds highs in the signal chain - working on trying to solve that problem. But for $20 it's ok The ultimate drive is fantastic. It's an impressive surprise and actually has tone that I really like. I recommend this pedal.

It's a nifty little package for a cheap delay pedal. Unfortunately the Mix knob did not taper down to 0 as it should, and unless you want gobs of delay all the time when stomped, it's a deal breaker. I've seen similar complaints and didn't want to risk a replacement only to get the same result, so back it went and I'm off to try the slightly more expensive Donner Yellow Fall. Too bad, because the delay signal wasn't bad. But a Mix knob fully counterclockwise should be 0% effect signal and increment up from there. This particular pedal started around 40%. No Bueno.

Excelente artículo, de calidad y a un precio accesible.

Great sound and value for the price

Esta bien el pedal el tamaño es ideal si quieres ahorrar espacio en tu pedalboard, esta bueno para jugar con las perillas y encontrar el sonido que buscas incluso pude emular algo de reverb con este accesorio, recomendado para añadir a la colección.

Having only used digital delay units in the past, it was interesting to try an analog delay. The case is unlike any other pedal enclosure I've seen previously, knobs are smooth but small so once you dial in a sound you like don't mess with it too much. As for the sound, the lowpass filter on the Bucket Brigade Design chips is quite dark, so repeats are rather muffled on higher notes. Running a drum machine (TR-8) through it anything higher pitched than a mid-tom gets filtered out in the repeats.

Pedal works well, but the volume control does not cut the effect.
