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.

[@RiffsRigs]

Totally love the dTape and Ice! They are gold! Cheers mate!

[@EllissDee4you4me]

@@LucasGoncalvesMSI keep seeing this term used in reference to guitar pedals, could you explain what that means? I know what worship means, I just don’t understand what it has to do with guitar or music in general. When I worship music especially the electric guitar is the last thing I’d want. Is this a Protestant thing or something?

[@LucasGoncalvesMS]

@@EllissDee4you4me in Brazil "Worship" is a musical style, like Hillsong and Bethel.

[@jessejafrnd]

I operate a home studio and got the mini universe about a year ago mostly for guitar use only and then ended up getting a huge, old European console in February. I only yesterday finally got the correct adapters for using the Aux sends on the board. And because the MU has a mix knob (for completely wet signal) it seemed like the best idea for my experimental session. It was a blast! It’s definitely going to stay connected since I actually bought 2 because some Temu pedals were discontinued pretty quickly. But the first thing I did was search for a delay with a similar, essential mix knob and boom, my Elemental will be here in a few weeks to connect to Aux send 2. These are great little outboard units, if this one is as good as the MU. I want to mix some of my projects dub style.

[@LucasGoncalvesMS]

Elemental + Mini Universe is the new meta for cheap worship boards.

[@Abarquezjaycard]

This has some nice effects. Some real weird ones too 😄 It may be a nice addition to my board. I enjoy creating ambient and atmospheric tracks. Have to study it a little longer before i spring for it. Great review, as always.

[@RiffsRigs]

Thanks a lot Paul! Of course I kept the Mix and Feedback pretty high so you could get better the texture that it can achieve, but you can get more tamed versions of those tones by adjusting the delay parameters in a more traditional range! 🎛️🔥

[@mohammadprayudi5411]

I own m-vave dig reverb and m-vave mini amp on my pedalboard, the mini amp switch is soft but dig reverb is kind of disturbing cause the switch hv a pop voice when it getting activated in another review i saw mini universe switch is kinda same like dig reverb. Is this pedal switch is better than m-vave dig reverb/mini universe? Cause i always use delay when it comes to interlude and it might get annoying

[@RiffsRigs]

Totally soft and without pop! As it has tap tempo, they needed to invest in a better quality one! 🎛️🔥

[@rwakeling]

It would be cool if it implemented midi over usb, allowing for presets if you connected it to something like the chocolate midi controller

[@RiffsRigs]

Totally agree! If we could change the modes by footswitch it would be super cool! 🎛️🔥

[@sub-jec-tiv]

For $30 i’m not surprised it’s not MIDI. Surprised how interesting the fx are here. Would be great for psychedelic music or shoegaze/dream pop.

[@lankududniteshift]

I wished it has stereo input & output.....but still, this is a really good sounding delay pedal.

[@lankududniteshift]

@@RiffsRigs Yes, u r right. U can't beat the value for money. Only personally for me, as i have a stereo rig with two amps for stereo setup. My pedalboard has two separate stereo outputs. The 1st stereo output are with XLR connectors with cab sim sound while the 2nd stereo output are with 1/4" jacks to go to my two amp's effect's Return... 😊kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnaolGtngdmXqcUsi=QooG2EWQ0HQsUq6s

[@sub-jec-tiv]

You can buy two of them, one for left and one for right.. for less than the cost of most stereo delays 😂

[@SoldierOfSunrise]

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?

[@RiffsRigs]

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. A nice option could be using the simple analog Delay which M-VAVE has just released together with the Mini U, or taking only this one! Cheers mate! 🎛️🔥

[@ret01101]

Dear, I already have this pedal. Kindly asking, is there any reason to buy a Falling Star Modulated Delay or that sound area is well covered by the Elemental Delay? Does have the Falling Star something special over the Elemental? Thank you for your answer.

[@RiffsRigs]

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. You can get to close sounds with the Elemental, if you like its sound and interface, specially because of the tap tempo! I hope it helps! Cheers mate! 🎛️🔥

[@ret01101]

@@RiffsRigs Thank you very much for your reply. As I don't work on the next Pink Floyd album I'm afraid I will save my coins for another toy. But who knows, maybe a black friday deal can change my mind.

[@BurgersforBreakfast127]

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.

[@andrecerradateixeira1691]

​@@BurgersforBreakfast127 Everyone says the Falling Star is a Memory Man clone, but I found out through another video and comments that it's actually more like the Keeley Mag Echo, they even cloned the setup, and it actually sounds more like the Keeley (in case anyone is interested), and yes, it's analog (falling star), and this one is digital. I think they're both good and different enough to own them both... there's no such thing as too many delay pedals ;) cheers!

[@BurgersforBreakfast127]

@andrecerradateixeira1691 Cool info! Thanks for that! I wonder if the Mag Echo is derivative of the Memory Man? And yeah, can never have too many delays. I like the one multi-mode digital, one analog combination myself on my boards..

The Levitate is an awesome pedal also. More straight forward. Just pay attention because it tends to consume a little bit of signal, so maybe you will need a buffer in sequence to do not canibalize your tone! Cheers mate! 🎛️🔥

unfortunately, it is mono, so how to use it after my stereo delay?

Yes you can! There is an specific patern for it on the PATERN mode, but even on the other modes you can beat the tempo on the 4/3 to get it done! 🎛️🔥

[@larrysdinner]

Just got one of these the other day. Unfortunately it introduces a lot of noise into the signal chain. It has some cool sounds but the noise that it brings into the signal ruins the sound especially when you run OD through a pedal or the gain channel on the amp. The noise is there even when the pedal is inactivated. I worried about this when ordering the pedal which was justified.

[@RiffsRigs]

Hey mate, are you using an Isolated power supply? If not, it can be a problem. Also guarantee that you are feeding with 300mA mininum. My unit is deadly silent... I didn't apply any post processing on the track of the sound check! Cheers! 🎛️🔥

[@larrysdinner]

@@RiffsRigs the problem is that I run a lot of pedals off of one power supply but none of my other pedals introduce noise into my signal and adding another power supply to run one specific pedal isn't what I want to do. That just means more items/problems/$$$ to introduce into my rig. No it isn't isolated but it puts out 450mA total which is plenty because I rarely use more than 2-3 pedals at a time.

[@DaveyMulholland]

Get a single power supply for the one pedal that's causing the problem.I I think saying the pedal has a problem, when that problem is easily remedied is unfar. It's a thirty something pound pedal ffs!
