KMA Audio Machines Cirrus Delay and Reverb

It is the first single effect (well... dual) pedal I bought and I am very impressed so far! I've been using it for the past two weeks with a Schecter diamond Omen extreme Fr and a Vox VT20+. The sound is amazing! The versatility and the sensibility of the knobs is huge, I was never able to get the same sound twice. It also reacts very well with dynamic playing and with the toggle switch of my Omen extreme. The result is an endless cloudscape of sound possibilities. Still wasn't able to get clear delay repeats (like in Dream Theater's surrounded solo for example), but I still need to get to know Cirrus better.

I have also tested it connected with my Boss GT100+ and both the delay and the reverb remain very clear and distinct even with more complex distortions or effects. If you're into Explosions in the Sky and Post-Rock, this is the thing!

The pedal seems really well built and I love the design and the led placement. It arrived well packed in a card box with some sort of paper straw which I really dig: extra points for sustainability, KMA!

Definitely in love with KMA, can't wait to test other pedals.

Pros:

Beautifull sounds can be achieved (see YouTube videos)

Nice artwork

update: One of the push buttons is not working fine after 2 years. I e-mailed KMA but no response. I will order a third party switch @ Thomann.



Dead silent via effectsloop

Cons:

No custom preset memory slot

When used in front of amp a hiss can be heard.
It can depending on the amp be annoying in (very) quiet parts of a song without drums.
My orange ad30 suffered most from this (clean and dirty)
My mesa dual rectifier produced less hiss in front of amp but that amp has an effects loop :-)
