OVERDRIVE- IDIOTBOX EFFECTS ..Repro Man ...the joke is on me?

$130.00 USD
  IDIOTBOX EFFECTS REPRO MAN OD/DELAY 
What if you put a fat knurly OD in a box with 2 delays. One delay in front of the OD and one after.
It seems like a totally stupid gimmick. A novelty to impress your friends and a pedal destine to collect dust or put on Reverb.
The layout is simpler than it appears. You have volume, gain and tone. You then get 2 basic slapback delays. One is pre distortion and one is post. If a slap back has very short delay time it almost becomes one with the input signal. The result is you fatten the clean coming in and the refatten both coming out. Such short delays tend to sound very much like a reverb. The over all result is a massive dirt sound with a bit of reverb. 
CONCLUSION
I use a similar effect with an analog delay pedal when I want
a massive sound. But there is an obvious advantage by getting 
the sound dead right by designing it into a pedal and then 
doubling it. In short a very usable dirt pedal especially as it is 
not over priced.
