I want something thats got a good range of different sounds maybe with tap tempo and reverse, something thats affordable i dont want to spend £200 on a pedal i use occasionally. It has to be available in the uk, i dont buy from overseas. And must be true bypass this is very important, i dont want to compromise my tone for a stompbox.

chriscore0010 · August 10th, 2012, 04:32 PM

Any ideas ?

waparker4 · August 10th, 2012, 05:22 PM

tc nova delay has a ton of nice features
Is not true bypass but my nova repeater (stripped down version) has 0 tone suck

Jason R. · August 10th, 2012, 06:18 PM

Tap tempo AND true bypass? That's going to be a very short list.

If you can go without true bypass, the DD-20 is great. Doesn't color my tone. Lots of delay options including tap.

jswiss · August 10th, 2012, 06:29 PM

As said above, tap tempo+true bypass+under 200 is going to be REALLY tough, especially if youre buying new. This is because most delays with tap tempo are digital, and most digital delays are buffered bypass.
That being said, the DD-20 is great, if you can get past the non-true bypass.
Also, if you want to save a little cash, a DD-7 with an external tap tempo will save a little money and give you plenty of options as well (tap tempo, reverse, dotted eighths, modulation, and about 40 seconds of looping). It is also buffered but has a great bypass.

Dl4 are over my budget. Il check out the dd7 like someone suggested, BTW how is the hardwire delay?

damaged · August 11th, 2012, 05:01 AM

Buying used is a good option, the boss delays will be under $200 used. You may if your lucky find something else floating around. True bypass isn't really a problem unless the pedal is known to suck tone like the Roland re20 for example.

jimd · August 11th, 2012, 10:54 AM

I was all ready to recommend the boss dd-7 until I saw the true bypass. If you can do without the bypass the dd-7 is a great do everything delay.

I use a DD-7 with a tap tempo. Sounds really great. Get compliments on my delay sound a lot (I also pair the DD-7 with an MXR analog delay quite a bit.)

Definately check out ebay. Ive seen deals where you can et a "buy it now" purchase that is a DD-7 and a tap tempo together for about $130. Great deal.

Search the forum, there's lots of love for the HardWire delay. I'd probably look for a used DD7 because of the external pedal option. I don't like the small stompboxes that use the main switch for multiple things.

TC Flashback?

andrenighthound · August 11th, 2012, 01:46 PM

Flashback. I like it me.

Ecadad · August 11th, 2012, 02:37 PM

The Boss DD-20 is incredible (for a stomp-box delay). If you want REALLY good delay you'll want a rack unit. My dream is to get a rack delay, maybe someday

gypsyseven · August 11th, 2012, 02:46 PM

My favorite delay so far is the MXR Carbon Copy, but that´s just what i need and want from a delay.
For your needs i would recommend the Hardwire Delay or TC Electronics Flashback.

Hey guys just a update i been doing some research and i quite like the offerings of the ehx deluxe memory boy, its got pretty much all i want my only concern is if it will run off my fuel tank jr power supply? As i have read it takes 9.6v. Can anyone confirm this?

Five Fingers · August 12th, 2012, 09:12 AM

You will not get better then a VOX DELAY LAB. I bought one last week for the kind of money that you want to spend. I totally love it.

Jeff_K · August 12th, 2012, 09:32 AM

That Vox looks nice, but it's $70 more (or 50% more expensive) than the Flashback, not to mention it looks like it's 3 times as big. Flashback is tap and true bypass like you want, AND in your price range. I love mine. I find it easier to do the tap tempo with the strings, as is done on the Flashback. And it has the Toneprint feature, which is very cool. The Vox is a beautiful pedal, though. I think there are a couple Flashbacks in the TDPRI ads right now...don't know if you'd get them to the UK reasonably.
