I even have an old Ibanez Soundtank delay. I wired an expression pedal to a jack where the "time" pot was so I could control it with my foot and make space sounds.

I like either really high grade kinda pricey 'boutique" gear to use on gigs or in the studio, stuff that you put in a hard case and treat like a baby. But also super cheap stuff that I can mess with and not worry too much if it doesn't work out or if I kill it with my soldering iron. (Jeckyl and Hyde syndrome)

But this CTO-1 suprised me, it's not a cheap pedal. It has the typical Dano 50's space retro look. The case is metal which was cool because I wasn't paying attention during order and I thought it would be plastic like some of the others.

I think it could hold it's own at gigs so I'm taking it out this weekend.

It really is a cool tool and I appreciate the heads up on this one Solarburn. I'll spend some more time with it and then give the best description of how it is with my gear that I can.
Glad to hear you find it has some mojo in it. I didn't think I was crazy for liking such an inexpensive pedal. Like I said it works well with both my amps which are very different. I still want the Visual Sound Open Road but I will have to wait for my pedal money to build up again.

Right now the CTO-1 has ousted my Bad Monkey, Boosta Grande and my HT Dual although I will be keeping them handy off to the side.

Definitely keep me posted on what you think about it Hollowbody and how it fits in with your line up.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
