" ... This is an excellent delay pedal that does everything from gentle slap back to infinite repeating chaos with just a turn of a knob. ... "
" ... It also has an MP3 input, to play along with your favorite songs or prerecorded tracks. ... And if I really want to get crazy, the MOOER has 80 preselected voicings to use with its own integrated volume/wah pedal (as well as room for 80 more user programmed presets). ... It is important to note that the placement of the PolyTune 3 serves as a kill/mute switch for everything but the drumbeat or metronome (there is a Rhythm switch on the MOOER GE-100 to turn this feature on and off). ... "
" ... Controls are straight forward ... "
" ... Sounds are tippy and the interface is simple as can be. ... "
" ... Remember different songs have different tempos. ... "
" ... The foot switch makes that nice “click” when you engage or disengage it and the indicator led is nice and bright. ... "
" ... Very warm echo with nice control. ... "
" ... This pedal has a well-built button and dials. ... "

" ... I run the clean signal from the GTR into the following Donner pedals listed in order powered by two DP-1 power supplies, and one DP-2 power supply, with the majority of the pedals mounted on a DB-3 Pedalboard for the main signal path: ... But it can also be soft, clean, warm, bright, rich, or spacey. ... "
" ... Extremely clean sound quality with no hum or audio garbage. ... Minimalists can rejoice at the simple controls and clean lines. ... "

" ... As far as the capabilities, it just falls short of magical genius. ... "
" ... The Yellow Fall delay is a steal in terms of price. ... Yellow Fall is a worthy budget choice, but, depending on your priorities and means, it may be better to save for a used model of a slightly more refined delay (e.g. ... "
