GFI System Clockwork Delay V2

GFI is a small, growing Indonesian pedal company. They don't have a huge presence on forums where players gather to talk gear (yet). And as a reviewer, that means the chance to approach a pedal with few, if any, preconceptions. That’s twice the fun when you’re working with a pedal that feels as fresh and as full of options as the Clockwork Delay V2 , which combines the virtues of digital control and clarity with thoughtfully voiced analog-style textures.

Small Size, Big Punch
Although the Clockwork V2 is built in the sideways orientation that prompts ire among some pedalboard space planners, the layout is efficient and economical. There aren’t a ton of knobs and switches, but the multi-level functions keep things very interesting and open up a ton of echo options. Each delay has secondary controls that are accessible via the “param” knob. When using the lo-fi mode, for instance, the parameter knob adjusts.
