I like mine, it's a keeper. My first delay pedal was a DD-3, I didn't like the way it colored my tone. So I tried a Dan-Echo, it had better tone, but was a little noisy. The Samsara is quiet and has great tone and flexibility.

Thanks Tommy. Billy Cooper's in VA is selling it. Maybe yours came from his store. He reports it eats 9V batteries and could do with a power supply (which he can supply).
Ed, I didn't quite get whether you were happy with yours. Looked for a Peavey reference, but couldn't find one; Budda Amplification is in Meridian, MS & has a line of amps and some boutique fx pedals one of which is the Samsara Delay.
Thanks for comments.

I just ordered one from Billy Cooper. I have a Boss Dd3 (Awful, trebly, not clear, not the sound I wanted) and I wanted an analog delay sound. It is my understanding the Budda produces 'something' close to an analog sound.

I love the delay the Budda has. Significantly better than the Boss DD3. The Boss was Ok with my Gibson CEC,but not with the PSG.

I bought a Buddha Delay and 1 Spot wall wart at Billy Cooper's about 5 years ago. The 1 I have has no battery compartment. has been in my setup every since. First with an Evans AH200 amp and now with a Tone Block 202. It has worked well for me. When I bought it Billy set the 4 knobs on it and said. "Here is where you want it set for Steel guitar".
I marked the settings with white tape. And I have moved the dials but always put them back where Billy adjusted them to.
