What delay would you use on a PT mini?

I'm thinking about moving down to a PT mini. I've currently got a Nova Repeater, but I'm thinking of going to either a Flashback or an Echo Park to save space. Opinions?

My opinion? Your reasoning is flawed. You should find the pedals that do what you want them to do, then find the pedalboard that will hold them. To select the pedalboard first seems backward to me.

Flashback

Boss DD-3... As you can see, there isn't much room on a PT Mini.

I do agree with that. It's just that for me I have discovered that having two tiers of pedals do not work for me. That's why I'm going back to a mini. I suppose I should go to a Flashback because I can't seem to tap worth a dime, but the strum tempo seems to work for me.

Flashback +1.

yep - that'll save you some space and it recharges too - however, you get more options with the flashback.

What features are important to you?

There are many compact pedals out there so fortuately, you can be picky.

What tone are you aiming for??(analog, tape etc.)
Price?

If you just need a good sounding basic delay the Modtone Mini Mod is hard to beat. Mine kicked the Flashback off my board.

If you are looking for TINY pedals, there are a few options I can think of...
Mooer: Ana Echo and ReEcho
Lovepedal: Echo baby
Red Witch: Seven sisters Violet

Though, personally i'd stick with the nova repeater you have now. I use one as my main delay, and i SERIOUSLY doubt it'll be replaced for a loooooooong time.

I was looking at the flashback a little bit more. It`s got the quarter + dotted eighth, which I pretty much leave on the repeater all the time. Just looking for something pretty clear with some dirt. I`m not sure there`s anything else there like that that has either tap or strum-tempo.

Best delay I've used in years (and I've had a few) is the Diamond Memory Lane Junior. You can set it up so the modulation can be footswitchable, it has a tap, and the repeats are beautiful. I used it in a busy live mix and it just lifted up above keys, horns percussion and drums. Worth every square inch of pedalboard real estate.

I have Catalinbread Montavillian Echo on my PT-mini. Compact, can be brighter, then CC and can do weird stuff, if I want.

I've had the Carbon Copy and the Malekko 616 in terms of small delay pedals. I've used them as my main delay as well as secondary delay pedals along w/ a bigger delay pedal. Depending on what you are needing it for, the Flashback is a very versatile pedal in a small enclosure.

Then there is also the Jack DeVille Dark Echo. It is very under-rated, and very versatile. It can do the Carbon Copy thing and also give you a tape sound and so much more. What's also a nice feature for space restricted boards is that it has top mounted jacks as opposed to side mounted.

Sounds like the flashback is for you then. The 2290 setting is great with dirt. It is crisp and bright so it doesn't get muddy and helps cut through the mix a bit.
PLUS you get all those other features.

Got a pic of your PT mini rig?

VFE Blueprint Delay w/modulation pedal. A lot of tones to be had with this pedal. Very nicely designed. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I'm getting some really good analog and tube tones that I've been looking for. You can really dial the Blueprint in for a lot different sounds.
