Mooer Reecho Pro Digital Delay Pedal

This compact and solidly built unit offers six types of delay, all of which can be complemented by one of three variations (chorus-like modulation, dynamic control that increases the level of the signal while the instrument is not played, and reverse), a ping-pong mode between the left and right channels, and a trail effect that simulates the slow decay of older delay units. This is complemented by a full sets of controls, not only for time and feedback, but also tone, and separate volumes for wet and dry signal. Aside of the standard, slight hiss of digital delays, the sound is completely satisfactory.

Add tap tempo and looper, and you have a compact and complete machine. Well, actually, almost complete: even in mono, the recording time is only twenty seconds, much less than the standard in this price range. This could suffice for the chord progression of a pop song, but is already too short for a twelve-bar blues! I consider this to be the only real flaw of this pedal.

The Reecho Pro is an obvious competitor not only to the other great white, the Boss DD-7: but also, and maybe more, to the TC Electronic Flashback. Everybody acknowledges that TonePrint gives the celebrated blue pedal an endless variety of possibilities: but while the Flashback is versatile "in the background" (as the settings must be prepared in advance and uploaded) the Reecho Pro is so "out of the box".
