I spent a good amount of time with DC19 last night. I did some basic comparisons between DC19 and my EchoFix EF-X2 tape echo and while I'm very happy with the tone/character, that wasn't my primary focus. There is such care taken with the way the delay lines are controlled and automated... this effect feels more like an instrument in some ways. It really came to life when I was using it with my Panorama CS12 control surface. It's very easy to do complex delay time and feedback manipulations, with just a few buttons and knobs.
I love that you can exclude certain delay time divisions from the list of values, as I frequently use a random modulation source on delay time and this feature makes it so that the delay time always lands on a division that makes sense with the rhythm of the sound I'm messing with. It's also easy to double/halve the both delays without messing with their relationship. I love that there is a variable quantization about for the individual delay lines, instead of a simple sync/unsync button. Great freaking idea!
It is rather simple compared to more feature-rich delays but as a performance effect, I see that as a strength.
