Chase Bliss Audio Tonal Recall - "Polaroid Memories" factory preset right slot

So I recently got the Tonal Recall from Chase Bliss Audio - maybe will review it here someday later, but overall absolutely AMAZING pedal.

So here's the thing:
While testing the presets on the lower toggle I accidentally saved a new preset into the right slot (wich is memory slot 1 btw), and lost the amazing sounding preset that came in that slot from the factory.

I tried to dial it in again but couldn't quite nail it, so I decided to email Joel Korte (Chase Bliss Audio Boss) and Zack Warpinsky (Chase Bliss Audio Lead Tech) (very nice folks) about the settings, and they were - as allways - super kind to give the correct setting.

It uses both bucket brigade chips simultaneously to create sort of a dual delay, washed reverb like sound, with a medium square modulation happening and 100% dry delayed signal. It sounds absolutely divine. As Knobs puts it "if a polaroid made sound, this would be it"

So here are the settings along with an image I photoshoped for you guys:
Tone - 3 o'clock
Mix - Full
Time - Full (550 ms)
Regen - 3 o'clock (or just before oscilating)
Modulation - Square wave
Rate - 11 o'clock
Depth - 1 o'clock
Trails Dip Switch - On

I also like to play this with a bit of dry signal, with the mix at around 3 o'clock. And I also like to dial the rate a bit higher and the depth a bit lower. Another really fun thing to do in this mode is to ramp the time and mix from all the way down to all the way up (no bouncing)

Hope someone finds this usefull!
Been loving this pedal, the momentary mode with trails is amazing!

Cheers
