I received this pedal around a month ago. My rig is an LTD EC-256 w/ coil tap (always engaged) through a 150W Bugera British Bite 1960 Plexi clone w/ 4 EL34s and 3 ECC83s into a Crate 4x12. My chain is a PolyTune 2, TC Electronic Spark mini, Electro-Harmonix Soul Food, Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run, and the Electro-Harmonix Freeze. The Avalanche Run can be intimidating. It has so many sounds and tones you can get from it. I find it best for me with .5 second delay, and dreamy, cave-like reverb. It literally does anything you would possibly need it to do. I like to turn my Soul Food off, with just the Spark for a light gain boost, and this pedal on, and natural harmonic on 5th (in open D, drop C# tuning) and then freeze it, and play over. It's good for cleans, light overdrive, tone freezes, anything. Truly versatile, and 100% worth the money. You'll never need to buy another delay/reverb unless you're stupid loaded with money. But for me, this is so much better than anything else on the market. ***It does take some time to learn the sounds you can make with it. My advice is to spend a solid hour or two going through everything you're going to be using it on (if you're in a band) and dial in the effects a little at a time. The knobs are all very touch sensitive. A slight hit or rub against the knob, moving it even one or two millimeters can change the whole dynamic of the effect. Make sure you take a picture with your phone or a piece tape with the settings written on it stuck to your board. Just be careful not to knock your levels off and you'll be good to go.

Musical Background:

I've been playing guitar for 12 years, drums and bass for 6. I've been playing in bands for the past 4 years or so.

Musical Style:

For this pedal specifically, I use it for easycore (clean parts and intros), and more emo/indie stuff like Into It. Over It., To
