DLS Echotap
I got it used from a friend that graciously knocked down the price considerably.
Let me describe it this way: I started out w/ a boss dd-3 and then got a Visual Sound h2o, and the h2o was so much warmer than the dd-3. the echotap is not only warmer than the h2o, it's not muddy like the visual sound and it's more flexible: more delay time, longer delay settings, and tap tempo.
i am most definately grateful to be able to have this kind of stuff to make music with
