@musicsoma: I have found with the D80 and my Echozar they tend to fill and blend in and I don't notice a problem if things are not exactly synced. I felt the same way until I started to spend time live with it. I use them to have more of a reverb-like ambience with slower repeats. I can lock them up fairly easy but if its really critical or if its the rhythmic 8th note thing I have the MML2 with tap for that. Trem that isn't synced bothers me more hence the Diamond trem with tap. I have borrowed a TES from a good friend who was kind enough to send it to me for a couple of weeks and I was blown away. It seems to really blend in nicely. It gets ambient and spacey when the MML2 is run into the D80 or the TES. With a volume pedal on the front end its a beautiful thing. While I had the TES when using it live I had guitarists coming up after wanting to know what delay I was using. The D80 is nice and I have a TES coming to me from Pete at the end of the year, unless I run across the rare used one, which at that point I'll have to determine is I want to shell out the big bucks for it.
