Rowin Time Maker 11 Types of Ultimate Delay Pedal for Guitar Bass with Tap Tempo

Got this 5 days ago and it's become an integral part of my pedalboard. First of all, it's the only one of its kind that uses under 100ma power (which means a regular or any 9v power supply will work with it), and the bigger your amp, the more all the modulations work. They're not gonna sound as pristine and amazing as boutique ones, but it will still satisfactorily enhance your tone with a variety of usable sounds and make you smile, with a small footprint on your board.One big unexpected bonus is that you can actually save a preset (by holding down the footswitch for 2 seconds), so when you click on it twice, it pulls up the preset. This means you can have 2 sounds preset (whatever the current knobs are doing, which is a green light, and your pre-saved one, which is a red light and easily switch between them with 2 clicks).You can also use it as a boost (with subtle or any amount of modulation), since it has a volume knob, which was another cool bonus. The only downside is that it turns on automatically when you power on your pedalboard, but I don't mind since this is presently an always-on pedal with a subtle modulation on it.I do highly recommend this for the price, usability, versatility, functionality (you can easily switch between 2 sounds/presets), and low power consumption. I've tried others (the Caline Multimod, twice the price, and the 3x more expensive NUX Voodoo mini univibe, both of which sounded worse and I returned them). The others in this price range all consume more power (so I'd have to buy a different power supply for them), and probably don't sound as good.

Full disclosure, I don't know what is considered a "good" delay. I typically use the effect during guitar solos to thicken the sound. So this one is nice and quiet, and does exactly what it says it does. The mini form factor is nice because you can add more pedals to your board. It works as you'd expect - plug in, fiddle with the knobs, an kick the switch to turn the effect on and off, so as simple as it can be.

I lent out my Boss DD-6, which is a great workhorse delay pedal with some fun extra functions. I needed a replacement, but wanted something cheap that I won't mind relegating to the backburner when my beloved DD-6 returns.So I gave this incredibly inexpensive Rowin a go, and that was a great choice. I highly recommend it at the price. Doesn't come close to the DD series from Boss or others in that $100-$150 range, but who cares? I mainly use this for a great slapback. You wanna play with some squiggly sounds or intense feedback by messing with the delay time and feedback knobs while you play? This'll do it. The casing and switch here are built better than those cheap new Behringers (shout out to their $25 compressors, holy crap those rule!) and there's no noise/hum/weirdness with this Rowin unit at all despite some of the reviews here saying they had issues. I love the mini size, too. This is a good, if functionally limited, delay. Perfect first delay, perfect 2nd board delay, super good on percussion/drum machine sounds. I use this regularly.

I wanted to really like this pedal but there were two issues that stopped me. First was it was super noisy, I ran it powered by a One Spot power supply through the FX loop of my amp and it was almost unbearable when the pedal was turned on. Second issue is the "FX" knob which acts as a tone control in some settings would change the tone in the direct signal as well as the effected signal ... No bueno! The box build quality was good but the feel of the knobs was not good and they had side to side free play, felt weak and like one misplaced stomp from a boot would break them off easily. Overall it's a super cheap pedal and it is what it is.

Ours was delivered in a padded bag with very little packing material,looked pretty beat up. Not sure if that helped any. 1st thing, this unit will blow your mind with so many options to choose from. The ANALOG delay setting is the only delay/FX setting quiet enough to use,but it is studio grade spectacular. There are a couple sweet spots on the tone knob (FX knob) that add some kind of compressed double tracked undertones that are beyond description,especially in a Hendrix-styled pedal board setup in front of two tube amps. Amazing and unique...and quiet. Haven't connected to a computer yet,nor did a reset (ridiculous procedure),but will do so,just to see if the noise will disappear from those other settings. Thing is, we're skeered of messing up the perfect ANALOG setting,which is why we purchased it in the first place. It's soooo much fun in stereo,wowza! At this price-point, it should be on everybody's pedalboard.

It's a very nice sounding fuzz pedal. Better than others that are priced more.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought in a whim, this thing sound BA, and is great for recording. Also can’t beat the price either
