Great fun - lots of flexibility
The Erica Synth Zen Delay is a weighty and solid unit. Looks kick-ass and sounds better. It works as an external effect with Ableton perfectly and I've also used direct my in effect chain. Fun to experiment with or to do more classic delay processing. I'm using it with synths primarily but have run drum loops through it too.
By-passing the delay allows use of the filter and the tube drive effects which has expanded my options. Driving a Kick drum sounds whopper -defo give that a go.
I have used the midi cable to sync the clock with my daw but the more I've been using it, I'm leaning towards just tapping the tempo to it's not "perfectly" in sync - I've been getting cooler effects with this and less chance of phase when it comes to drums.
Top stuff all round, get one, have some fun, make some noise :)

A Delay That’s an Instrument in Itself
The Erica Synths Zen Delay is just amazing. It’s not just a delay unit—it feels like a proper instrument. The sound is super warm and rich, and the drive and filter let you really shape things in a fun way. I love how hands-on it is; just tweaking the knobs can take your sound somewhere completely new. It’s perfect for dubby vibes, crazy feedback loops, or just adding some texture. It’s not cheap, and it’s a bit big, but honestly, it’s worth it for what it can do. Couldn’t be happier with it!

Trippy echo textures
Fantastic echo/filter pedal that works in a so delicate way! It went far beyond my expectations.It works really nice with drums, synths, vocals. The price is on the roof but no regrets! Imagine Soundtoys' echo boy and decapitator in your hands!

The sound I was looking for.
A delay with a lot of knobs, but a small manual.
Plugged it into the effect loops of a guitar amp and manage to find an amazing sound in less than one minute.
The sound is not hollow and fizzy in the upper frequencies.
Cons :
They should make another version with footswitches for guitar players just to be able to bypass it at will and avoid yet another external footswitch.
IN is on the left, Out it on the right
No presets.

In love
C'est mon multi effet sur mon set DJ
une pépite tout est pensé pour être joueur et accessible!
Delays joueurs! gros filtre multimode et le drive crunchy ou crado; de quoi s'amuser .
J'ai par contre du mal a l'insérer dans mon setup synthés analos (le filtre devient inutile pour moi , l'overdrive ne me satisfait pas dans ce cas là)
Savoir qu'avec le dry wet au milieu, il y a une annulation de phase . Du coup ça sonne bizarre a cet endroit, mais c'est normal avec la latence du dsp!
Je l'utilise en full wet et je dose le niveau que je lui envoie! En mixant avec le signal d'origine via la table, je n'ai plus ce problème!
Voila on a envie de le tripoter et il nous le rends bien, il est bien calibré, facile a dompter et sauvage en un clin d'oeuil!!!!!
