First, let me say, this is a great sounding pedal, especially for the price! I have no complains about the sound at all.

The only thing I personally dislike much is the user experience. It basically force you to save your tweaks/settings into the memory (there are 2 preset memory slots). If you don't save it and try to use the pedal as other "normal" pedal meaning tweaking the knobs, then playing, then turning the pedal off, and later turning it on, you'll find out it actually loaded the current memory preset instead of honoring the knobs settings/positions. I understand that this was desired behavior by design, it's just I expected something else... And of course, if you get used to saving your settings to presets all the time before switching the pedal off, then you are good to go with no complaint.
But for me, if it didn't have those preset memories, I'd be happier :)

Fantastic for the price

I've been using it for some time now and feel comfortable giving some feedback. The sounds are good and perfectly usable, the actual design of the box is too small and I find myself hitting the wrong switch constantly, and the tap tempo function is awful and way too easy to get wrong; the two savable settings would also be a much nicer bonus if they did not save the time or if the tap tempo wasn't a pain to use. I would suggest purchasing this on the merit of it being very cheap, sturdy, and nice sounding. Do not purchase if you are looking for something with usable tap tempo.

Outstanding for the price, a bit difficult to use

The Harley Benton (also sold as Joyo) D-SEED is one of the cheapest tap-tempo delay pedals available. It's well-built, sounds good, and is a great introduction to delay pedals.

+ Good build quality; the case is solid metal and the controls feel sturdy.
+ Bypass doesn't `suck tone'. It's not true bypass AFAIK, but I haven't noticed any deterioration in tone.
+ Analogue and digital modes both sound great.

BUT there are some downsides, mainly related to usability:
- Tap tempo is done by pressing both buttons at the same time. The makes it hard to be accurate with the tempo.
- When tapping the tempo, you have to tap an EVEN number of times. If you don't, it goes into this strange looper mode. This is incredibly inconvenient if this happens during a gig (it's happened to me...).
- The modulation mode is cool, except I find the modulation very strong. Ideally this would be adjustable.

To summarise, I think this is a great pedal for experimenting with delay sounds in private, or even recording. However, I wouldn't really recommend it for live use because of the usability issues; I know several people who use it live regularly without issue though, so YMMV.
