Accessible delay pedal for an accessible price!
Izmotion 26.01.2021
I've been using this pedal with my keyboard & synths for a while now. I've connected it as a send to my Yamaha MT3X tape recorder, and it works great for this purpose.

First, the delays:
You get a pretty good selection of delays. If you're looking for any specific one, you might find the quality/controls of each delay type somewhat lacking, but that's not this pedal's forte. Each type sounds good and they work pretty well with the instruments/patches I used!
The downside is, as mentioned, the lack of control on each. You get the standard feedback, delay time and level, and that's your lot. If that's enough for you, perfect!

Second, the looper:
There's no way of syncing this thing to anything. You can hope that you get the loop perfectly right with whatever you're playing, but it's definitely a bit more experimental/finicky in that regard.
That being said, I feel like this is the best part of the pedal. The fact that the looper does work WITH any delay (needs some hand-fiddling, but eh) makes this a pretty amazing pedal. It's the main reason I use it with my keyboard: layer a bunch of instruments, and boom!

I bought this after seeing a few reviews on YouTube as my first standalone delay pedal. I wanted to move away from my multi-effects unit as I'm getting frustrated with having to dig through all the menus to find the settings that are right for me.

I'm not going to go into all the individual sounds on this pedal as no-one ever plays with just one effect do they? It has loads of different types of delay with easily adjustable parameters easily at hand. No digging through menu settings to change the sound I want. I like that you can dial in the exact delay time you need for your track without having to train your feet to the inexact science of tempo tap (I can never get it exactly right).

The unit feels solid enough, it doesn't have the tank-like feel of a Boss pedal but I'm not going to be taking it to a warzone any time soon. I like the LED strip on the end too, it's a nice touch. I've bought this, the Atmosphere reverb and the mini Molo-Trem at the same time and I can't say I'm disappointed with any of them. I would certainly consider buying a Joyo pedal again and will keep an eye out for new releases.

Works great!
inquisitor101 28.09.2020
Been using this pedal for about a few months now. I can attest to how easy it is to use and flexible at the same time. Tone is great too, but not so much when looping. It definitely feels sturdy and not cheap, although I would've preferred less plastic-feeling knobs. The features are more than enough. Do take a look at the Galaxy feature. Sounds amazing. Oh, and the looper does the job kind of okay. Don't expect you'll end up bypassing a fully-fledged looper anytime soon with this one.

Unbeatable delay at this price point, and great in it's own right
Dan Monaghan 12.01.2021
The R series really are amazing for the price and the Aquarius is no exception. A ton of different delay options which all sound great, including a few unique to the Aquarius (like the Galaxy option, which is sort of a spacey reverb), and a built-in looper to built. Looks great, easy to use and understand, and does everything you'd want out of a delay pedal, plus it's also got tap tempo AND a super long delay time (about 3 and a half seconds) to cover the whole spectrum.

The only drawbacks are the general build and feel of the pedal. You can tell it's been made cheaply. The switch on the bottom to toggle the LEDs is placed really badly and is very difficult to switch (I had to use a pen lid). The other thing is the knobs, which do feel a little cheap and plastic-y (although they're not nearly as bad as I've seen some people say, they still have a lot of grip to them).

All in all, a really impressive pedal for such a good price. If you're after a first delay pedal to work out what you like, this is the best.

Flimsy pedal with bad handling
smug 25.03.2024
Well, what can you expect with the price: The pedal proved to be extremely flimsily built in the end, and not easy to work around with. I was going to use it with my band but it's been gathering dust on a top shelf since rehearsal #2 because it did not feel reliable enough.

A Flashback on a budget
Peblo Nemo 04.04.2022
Just the ability to use the delay while the looper is running is great, also I like the lofi filter of said looper. But most of the delay modes are "meh", with a few nice exceptions. Also, the lights are pretty cool.

In a nutshell, if you are low on cash get this, you won't regret it, but if you have a bit more go for the flashback (toneprint technology is amazing).

Poor QC
Oscar7460 02.03.2022
Pedal was faulty out of the box. Returned it, waited for a replacement to arrive. Second use, stopped working all together. Led lights look cool tho, sadly, no sounds when engaged. Don't buy joyo.

Too much for a low price
Andrew 14.04.2023
I've had this pedal for almost 2 years now. I must admit I have mixed feeling about it.

First of all, as a delay, it's an amazing piece for this price. All the effects are interesting and most of them are useful, especially when playing live. Indeed, one of the best choices in this price-range

Talking about the looper, it's a great addition to the pedal -considering the price, once again. The modulation also available with the looper mode is really helpful, perfect for adding oddly satisfying loops behind your guitar. However, it's not so easy to use:
-Overdubbing is possible, but one mistake will have you deleting the whole thing, and
-Stopping the loop in time is -at times- rather difficult, unless you've been using double pedal as a drummer.
As I said it's a great addition, but can hardly be used live, unless you aren't going for something complex. Casual home use is pretty fine.

But, despite all these decent features of the pedal, I've had many issues with noise. It's been happening for the last year or so, and every time I first turn on the pedal it obliterates my ears. Now, I can somehow stop it if I plug out the cable and press on the jack plug - I still don't understand why-, but it is an unsettling "feature" anyways. I've seen other joyo pedals from this series create signal problems too.

To conclude this not-so-short review, I do recommend this pedal as a delay for less than 100 euros, since it gives lots of option that will do their job and surely keep you entertained. But, perhaps this variety of features -in comparison to the price- does come at a cost, considering that the signal issues made it unusable at first. Either way, "too much for a low price" has it's pros and cons. Keep doing your research on this pedal and you'll now if it suits you

satisfied! cool delay!
Hessian Mercenary 07.04.2019
I like it, but since buying it have found other delay effects that id be more interested in. (not the fault of the pedal)

I love the galaxy setting most so far!

Im also not super sure about the looper, it seems a bit quiet and thus, not super usable...

So, in isolation, its really cool and versatile as a delay but there are plenty of cool pedals to choose from, take your time browsing!
