Just got mine in the mail, and here are a few thoughts: I must say, it's pretty wacky. Has a nice full sound, and doesn't sound cheap, or toy-like. The glitchy weirdness almost seems intentional. A few people have complained about it adding noise if not on isolated power, but I must have lucked out in that department. Great repeats that are nice and clear, and is probably more useful if you turn down the modulation stuff a bit. 3000ms on a lot of the settings makes it harder to dial in your time, so a mode/range switch would have been nice there, but I'm not going to complain. Shipped to my door for 35 bucks and I can't believe this isn't the darling of budget pedal enthusiasts right now. So far, my favorite settings are dTape and Ice.

Thank you for this review, it was really interesting & useful! 👍I subscribed to your channel. Could you please tell, if this is the better choice over the Mini Universe pedal? I know it has some more features, but considering how they look.. I prefer the Univers much more. 🙂(And I suppose both sound quite good, so not so big difference in between them from that perspective.) Is that true, that M-WAVE already solved the "popping" sound issue of the "Universe" pedal, please?
@RiffsRigsАй бұрын
It is true that the pop was solved! I honestly prefer this one compared to the modulations of the Mini Universe, but the Mini Universe has also pretty cool modulations.

Hey mate! The falling star is a clone of the Memory Man... it is a different texture of delay. The Elemental is more inspired on the Strymon Timeline, a modern style of modulation delay.

Falling Star more focuses on saturated tape-ish type sounds and has excellent oscillation. As said before, it is a Deluxe Memory Man clone. If you're looking for a reason to own both, the answer is because they are different animals and each has features the other does not. Having both on your board offers a world of infinite possibilities. And, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the Falling Star is analog while this Elemental is digital.
