Favorite delay pedal?

[rhinocaster]

Honestly, for my money nothing beats (Or even comes close) to the sound of a tape delay. I love both the tube and solid state driven versions of the Echoplex, and the very expensive Fulltone Tube Tape Echo is a whole 'nother world.

For pedal type echos I love the Freakshow Digilog. It's digital, but it sounds like a great analog unit.

I have tape haunting my dreams!

DM-2

The Dan Echo is great for the money. I prefer it over the Boss DD series.

I love my Deluxe Memory Man. Little pricey, but it does quite a bit.

Rocktron Short Timer Retro Delay

Not expensive

Just works for me, I guess.

What's the opinion on the Ibanez AD9?

Digitech Digidelay!

For those of you liking the Boss DM-2, the Retro-Sonic Analog Delay is modelled after the DM-2, but is supposed to sound at least just as good, but also has much better reliability, AND less noise.

I got a Marshall Echohead, to replace a Carl Martin Red Repeat. Been a month or so, really pleased so far.

DL4 - so far, so good...

I currently use three delays, two on a board, and one extra when I don't want to drag the board out. On the board is a DM-2 set mostly for slapback, and a DD-5 set for long delays and a footcontroller attached to do tap tempo. The dd-5 was my first delay pedal, and I actually hated it when I first got it. It sounded way too digital and ate batteries in about 30min requiring a power adaptor to be used. I had analogman mod it many years ago and now with the high cut mod, I actually really like the sound. My extra pedal is an old ibanez ad9, which is a bit brighter than the dm-2. I once owned an old echoplex, that sounded pretty funky but was a pain to use and was noisey. The pedals are just way easier to use. I've been tempted by some of the newer pedals out there to simplify my board. I'm interested in an older maxon ad900 or the retro-sonic delay. I have the retro-sonic chorus and think it is fantastic, especially since I'm not too much of a chorus fan to begin with. I would loose tap-tempo with the retro-sonic but I would gain 3 spots on my pedal board as it would cover both slap and long delays with the press of a button. The diamond memory lane pedal also looks good but it is a bit too pricy for me, as well as the t-rex. I think I would like the eh deluxe memory man but the thing is just physically too big. Alternatively, if I ever found the analogman delay in stock, I think I would grab it. All in all, I just like the older bucket brigade based designs. I'm glad a few companies are still making clones.

For simple and warm analog Delay I use my Analogman AR20DL.

I saw an Boss DM-3 delay on musicgoround.com for $199

I'm happy with my Danelectro Dan Echo.

Tried a Boss DM-2 the other day. It was cool, but not all that.

I love my old Digitech PDS-1002.

I've had it since the 80s, and other than replacing the footswitches, it's served me very well.

I bought a used one from a shop not too far from me last week for $35.

EHX Deluxe Memory Man. It goes where I go. My favorite pedal, period.

I also had a Boss DD-2 (1984 made, I think), which was also very good, if you can find one used at a decent price, go for it.

I use a visual sound H2O and it sounds very analog,plus it also has chorus and is very quite.
