Having now read the pdf It becomes clearer that this unit is very specific in what it sets out to achieve (though one has to get to page 6 for the first description).
I am in no way critcising the unit itself, which I am sure does an excellent job. My point was really about this eTap2HW forum on the Shadowmusic site which could perhaps help newcomers by having a 'sticky' that explained that an eTap2HW is a build-it-yourself electronic echo unit designed specifically to emulate certain old mechanical echo units. Those people who have worked with Piet during development might see this as obvious, but it wouldn't be obvious to a newcomer (and everyone has to start somewhere).
It reinforces my feeling that there is still a gap in the market to be filled for an echo unit that is not specific in the way that this unit is specific. In other words, one with (say) six replay heads each of which can be individually set (using calibrated controls) for delay, level, feedback and on/off. One which has separate wet and dry outputs. One with balanced inputs and outputs on XLR and jack. One in which head settings can be stored and recalled using footswitch or remote control. A general purpose comprehensive echo unit.
