Awesome, Affordable, Analog
Very fun. Small footprint. Vintage sound. Dirt cheap. Self-oscillating. See video for examples of wackiness.

Incredible Sound and Versatility – A Must-Have Delay Pedal!
Having tried some of Donner’s other pedals, I went in with pretty high expectations because they’ve been really consistent with their quality. I also tried their EMBARK phaser, which was fantastic, so I was excited to see how their delay pedal would hold up—and yeah, it definitely delivers. This is a really great, effective delay pedal that works exactly how you’d want it to.
For my demo, I started by playing a clean riff with no pedal, just a little spring reverb to set the baseline tone. Then, I played the same riff three more times—low, medium-high, and then all the way up. For the last test, with everything maxed out, I played a few single notes first so you can hear how the timing of the delay reacts, then I played the same riff again to show how it sounds when pushed to the limit.
The pedal has three basic controls—Time, Mix, and Repeat. I kept Repeat at around 30% because anything over halfway starts creating too much feedback, even on a clean tone. That can be useful for some ambient effects, but if you just want a solid delay without it getting overwhelming, keeping it under 50% works best.
It also sounds great with distortion. Whether you want a subtle delay to thicken up your tone or something more spacey and atmospheric, it handles it all really well. It’s a super versatile pedal but still really easy to dial in, which is what makes it so good.
The design has a modern silver-gray finish that looks clean without being flashy. It also comes with stickers if you want to customize it, though I haven’t put any on yet. It’s small and lightweight, but the metal construction makes it feel sturdy.
Overall, it’s just a really solid delay pedal. It sounds great, does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and for the price, it’s definitely worth picking up!

Great analog delay / echo pedal
This range of pedals comes with plain white enclosures and you decorate them yourself with provided stickers. Each pedal comes with the same 15 stickers. There’s good variety and my son helped me pick the sticker based on the sounds I created.
The ECHO is a delay / echo pedal that has 3 knobs: Time, Mix and Repeat.
Time sets the delay / time between repeats.
Repeat sets how many echoes you hear, from 1 to many.
Mix controls how loud the echoes are relative to your dry signal; you can have your guitar lost in an ambient wash of repeats or have it more “out front” with the echoes in the background.
The fundamental tone of the repeats is dark, which some might call “analog sounding”. It’s great for ensuring your dry signal cuts through.
This is honestly a great first delay pedal. Excellent built quality and the simple controls make it easy to use. For the asking price, it is very easy to recommend.
For the sticker my son chose.. it’s the cute “Meow” sticker because apparently the dark delays and the way I played sounded like a cat haha

Great Echo but it can get crazy :)
This Donner EMBARK 01 ECHO Delay Guitar Pedal was a lot of fun, but at one point, it began to echo and repeat infinitely and got a little crazy ... fun crazy and worth adding to any pedal board IMO ... came with a dozen decals to custonmize the Shell.
