Delay pedal

[thepedalmaster]

So whats a good delay pedal? I was sort of thinking of one of the wampler delays. I was thinking of a 400 max price range and it has to be good to be 400.

Ouch!

I use an Ibanez AD-9

[Chrismo]

Wampler Faux Tape Echo sounds good. I got a Boss Space Echo today that's excellent - does the slapback and ambient stuff with ease.

I love the Tech 21 Boost DLA...so natural sounding...lots of tweaking available. I have the first version, but the V2 must awesome with tap tempo, triplets and trails. Love that extra 9 dB boost too...a nice bonus...and made in the good ole USA.

I use the mxr carbon copy and a boss dd-7. I get crazy delay.

[thepedalmaster]

I was thinking about getting both of the wamplers delays.

[dalandan]

for 400 bucks i would get either the eventide timefactor or the empress super delay.

both should stem the delay gas.

but fwiw, i would just get a DD7 and get over the little nuances.

+1 on the Empress Super Delay. My ears preferred the tone of it rather than the Timefactor. But I'm sure there will be others who will speak otherwise too. Btw.. You can find a used one for less than 400 =)

400 bucks price range on a delay.

MXR Carbon Copy
Roland Space Echo
OR Boss DD-7

There are other high end digital delays out there, but the DD-7 will more than get it done, and the Carbon Copy just sounds fantastic.

If you want the cool powder blue box, get the Aqua Puss.

If I had $400 to spend +1 on the Superdelay. On my board I have an MXR CC and a Digitech Digidelay. The Digidelay is the t!ts man - tap tempo, modulation, reverse, small looper among other things. I got it for $40 usedwith adapter.

Yeah dude, your the pedal master.

Folks should ask themselves a few questions when delay shopping.
What style music is it for?
What other gear will you use with it?
How much crazy modulation do you want?
There are just so many, in many flavors .
I am guessing you are wanting an analogue delay, because of your OP .
Delay is problem for me, I am an addict.
Currently I am using the Malekko 616 analog delay, and am very happy with it, I like how it can be run as a true bypass pedal at the push of a button.
It plays nice or you can take it to insane modulation.

Hi-
See a couple folks here using the CC and a digital delay. What do you use each for, do you use them together? Or each has its own purpose. I own the CC and like the presense it adds. It's been a lot of fun. But also understand its not exactly going into U2 territory. So intrigued by the thought of adding a digital delay to the mix....Hope that doesn't hijack the thread but it sounds like the answer to the origional question is take your $400 and get an analog and a digital delay....

[thepedalmaster]

lol hannigan
I was thinking about the empress but its 50 over budget. The eventide is way to complicated, and yes i prefer analog.

[slotted screw]

i think the empress super delay is a really good sounding delay pedal. the timefactor was a bit digital sounding along side the empress.. if you want analog for a cheaper price, try the carbon copy. i'm also gasing for the new malekko ekko 616.

[Norrin Radd]

Hmmmm........with a $400 budget I might just look at a Maxon AD999 and stop right there.
