I picked this pedal up from the local classifieds. Played around with it a bit. Its a fun little pedal. I haven't had a delay/echo pedal since my Dan Echo quit on me. My Fab Echo only has slap back (thinking about the mod), so this is nice to play around with. The casing is plastic, but seems to be in good condition. I am not hard on my pedals, so it should be fine.
I'll be putting this on my board right away.

Ibanez makes great effects,so I can see your echo pedal lasting quite a while if it doesn't meet with someone with clumsy feet.In the early 80s I bought a rack mount Ibanez DM-1000 Digital Delay,it has chorus,flange,phase,doubling,tape echo,slapback and other settings plus infinite settings for repeat and delay times after all these years it's still working as well as it did new. and I haven't seen anything that can come near to it in quality.
BTW: My youngest daughter gave me a Danelectro Fab Echo pedal as part of my Christmas present and it has a tape echo like function rather than slapback-it's a great little pedal.They must make more than one type echo pedal.I am going to use it in conjunction with the Ibanez along with 2 flangers.Using two echoes and 2 flangers set at different rates,you can reproduce the incredible guitar sound of the intro of "House Burning Down" from Jimi's Electric Ladyland.

The reviews that I can find on this pedal tend to be pretty good. A few people called it a sleeper pedal. I can see how some may not like the plastic case. My only concern is that the knobs don't feel too sturdy. Other than that, I've been having fun setting the speed and delays.
I have the Fab Echo too. I wanted the Fab Delay, but I guess its not available, so for $20 I thought I'd try. It will be good for a few country tunes or some rockabilly. My Dad used to build and modify electronics for challenged people, so I'm going to try to get him to mod it for me sometime.
