The face of this pedal is in great condition other than the light sharpie marks that can be removed with some cleaner. The sides are a little scuffed, but who looks at the sides anyway! This stereo delay and reverb sounds superb. There is a ton of features in a fairly small package. An expression pedal works great with this pedal; you can set it to to control a knob with your foot while connecting an off/on switch can serve to activate or deactivate the reverb. Crazy setting examples include reverse delay and one to where when you turn the delay off it endlessly repeats the note you turned it off on, until you turn the pedal back on. A pleasant surprise when I got this pedal was, it includes a swell setting. This means you do not need a volume pedal to do your ambient swells. If your looking to add just a little wetness to your signal and not anything bizarre, it will do that excellent also. In fact, that is pretty much all I use it for.
