Yeah, I've been meaning to get better sonics, but I can't seem to find any well-matched Germanium pairs that don't leak.

someday...  :D

This pedal is essentially a plain vanilla Boss delay pedal with the mods I have been suggesting for years now (see another current thread about reducing shrillness of regen signals).  Rather than the usual 3-position minitoggle I am fond of, Cornish has opted for a rotary switch with more settings.  The mini-toggle is often capable of fitting inside a stock case, but the rotary switch definitiely won't, hence the retrofit into another much larger case.

Personally, I find 3 different settings is often a reasonable amount of variety, and a decent balance of size, cost, convenience, and utility, although I can understand that others have need for more than that.
