After playing with it for a bit, I like it overall, but found a couple of things that could be better. Not deal killers, just slightly annoying.
With passive pickups, it's sounds great but with my EMG actives there is a noticable amount of hiss type noise on the repaats.
The modulation rate doesn't go slow enough for me and anywhere near the slowest rate is very offset mostly flat waveform.
The repeats are heavily filtered and sometimes just devolve into a clicking/knocking oscillation sound.
The only other thing is that the mix doesn't go all wet.
Seems ready for some mods

So it’s true BBD analog delay and not the digital approximation.
I will say the “slightly annoying” things you mention are all the common complaints we had about most analog BBD delays in the 1980s, and why even the low bitrate digital delays back then were still preferred over analog by most folks.
