Accessible delay pedal for an accessible price!
I've been using this pedal with my keyboard & synths for a while now. I've connected it as a send to my Yamaha MT3X tape recorder, and it works great for this purpose.
First, the delays:
You get a pretty good selection of delays. If you're looking for any specific one, you might find the quality/controls of each delay type somewhat lacking, but that's not this pedal's forte. Each type sounds good and they work pretty well with the instruments/patches I used!
The downside is, as mentioned, the lack of control on each. You get the standard feedback, delay time and level, and that's your lot. If that's enough for you, perfect!
Second, the looper:
There's no way of syncing this thing to anything. You can hope that you get the loop perfectly right with whatever you're playing, but it's definitely a bit more experimental/finicky in that regard.
That being said, I feel like this is the best part of the pedal. The fact that the looper does work WITH any delay (needs some hand-fiddling, but eh) makes this a pretty amazing pedal. It's the main reason I use it with my keyboard: layer a bunch of instruments, and boom!

A Flashback on a budget
Just the ability to use the delay while the looper is running is great, also I like the lofi filter of said looper. But most of the delay modes are "meh", with a few nice exceptions. Also, the lights are pretty cool.
In a nutshell, if you are low on cash get this, you won't regret it, but if you have a bit more go for the flashback (toneprint technology is amazing).

Too much for a low price
I've had this pedal for almost 2 years now. I must admit I have mixed feeling about it.
First of all, as a delay, it's an amazing piece for this price. All the effects are interesting and most of them are useful, especially when playing live. Indeed, one of the best choices in this price-range
Talking about the looper, it's a great addition to the pedal -considering the price, once again. The modulation also available with the looper mode is really helpful, perfect for adding oddly satisfying loops behind your guitar. However, it's not so easy to use:
-Overdubbing is possible, but one mistake will have you deleting the whole thing, and
-Stopping the loop in time is -at times- rather difficult, unless you've been using double pedal as a drummer.
As I said it's a great addition, but can hardly be used live, unless you aren't going for something complex. Casual home use is pretty fine.
But, despite all these decent features of the pedal, I've had many issues with noise. It's been happening for the last year or so, and every time I first turn on the pedal it obliterates my ears. Now, I can somehow stop it if I plug out the cable and press on the jack plug - I still don't understand why-, but it is an unsettling "feature" anyways. I've seen other joyo pedals from this series create signal problems too.
To conclude this not-so-short review, I do recommend this pedal as a delay for less than 100 euros, since it gives lots of option that will do their job and surely keep you entertained. But, perhaps this variety of features -in comparison to the price- does come at a cost, considering that the signal issues made it unusable at first. Either way, "too much for a low price" has it's pros and cons. Keep doing your research on this pedal and you'll now if it suits you

satisfied! cool delay!
I like it, but since buying it have found other delay effects that id be more interested in. (not the fault of the pedal)
I love the galaxy setting most so far!
Im also not super sure about the looper, it seems a bit quiet and thus, not super usable...
So, in isolation, its really cool and versatile as a delay but there are plenty of cool pedals to choose from, take your time browsing!
