Your general opinion of this product.
Boss standard of course!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
lots of great features,easy to program,no tone sucking here,a must have for any guitar player live or studio,hobbies etc.. great unit make sure you buy the Boss FS-U5 tap tempo pedal switch. This pedal is great live! specially when recalling program presets for songs. Great Tone, I've had mind for over 5yrs now, been through lots of weekend gigs and never failed me....

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It's Boss...it's solid!
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've had mine for several years now and have used it with both batteries and the power supply and have never had a moments pause when it comes to putting it in my signal chain
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Typical of Boss pedals,it's rugged,reliable and sounds great.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Just a slight learning curve and you're in bussiness.If you're familiar with any of the other Boss twin pedals it will seem familiar as well.Everything is clearly and logically marked,just like any good'ol stompbox should be.
Tone

The tone is what you make of it.This box has tone to spare...if you take the time to go through all that it offers.It operates silently and shifts seamlessly between the most subtle old school delay...to some truly demented modulated delays.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Metallic pearl white is cool,but metallic black would be sweet!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
If it had action it would kick a**!!

Your general opinion of this product.
I love it,I have alot of options for different delay types,and with time and patients,I have made sound like an echo machine all the way to some great U2ish tones from it.

took a lil while to coax the tones I wanted out of it, and still experiment with it almost daily
Tone

depends on the guitar used and pups used,with my Ibanez S series the single coils were bright and reproduced their tone nicely,with my humbucker equipped guitars it was nice and dark and thick.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
good,no scratches or chips,doesn't look cheap!!!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
the presets were ok,but I needed some more U2ish sounds from it,it has a small learning curve but if you have used other delays it's pretty straight forward
