Delay pedal

FWIW...I had the EHX Canyon, (not Grand Canyon) but sold it. I still have the TCE Flashback. To me the Flashback just sounds better and the ability to beam Tone Prints through your phone gives you a lot more options. YMMV.

 

I’ve not tried either of those, but I do have a new EHX stereo memory man with hazarai that takes care of all of my reverb, echo, slap back, delay chorusy and flangey type stuff I could ever need and then some, though it’s real tweaky and I’m still getting used to it and how to achieve what I most want out of it. It is digital, but it’s pretty natural and warm for a digital. I recommend it for sure, especially if you’re willing to find a nice used one for a good price. Some folks don’t like used effects but I’ve always had pretty good luck with them.

 

BOSS DD-200.

 

I don’t think you can go wrong. I’ve got a Canyon and it’s great. It does have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using the secondary knob functions, but it’s ultimately no big deal.

 

I have a Caline Drifter 7 Delays...I got it off Amazon ~$50. I like it.

 

Dittos on the Flashback. Full lush delays and lots of options. I’ve found several I like and rarely change them.

 

For me, I found that when I had a multi function delay I really just used one setting, so I ditched it and just got a boss dm-2w.

 

I have not tried EHX Grand Canyon, I do own a TC Electronic Flashback 2.

I am very pleased with the sound of the Flashback 2 I does a great job for the money, it is particularly good when combined with the TC Electronic HOF and the big brother Hall of Fame. I admit to being very much biased when it comes to my TC Electronic devices .

 

I got a lot of use out of a Canyon. I have a Keeley Caverns now because I wanted a dual delay/reverb.

 

I had the Canyon. Sounded good, but I sold it because it had way too many knobs and settings. It was much more than I needed.

 

I have the Flashback x4. It's big but if you have the room you get a lot of versatility.

 

I had a ehx canyon. Liked the dmm mode, and mostly used that. So I bought a dmm xo. Real deal Panasonic 3008 chips, true bypass now, incredible lush delay with very useable chorus and vibrato settings.

It's a lifetime delay pedal.

 

I eventually missed the small footprint and flexibility of the canyon, so I got a flashback. Not bad, but I found it irritating. The dmm repeats get out of the way, and I think digital just doesn't quite do that as well.

 

Flashback 2 is one of Bjorn's top picks at Gilmourish.com.

If you want more control without plugging the pedal into a phone or tablet, Boss DD-200. It also has a built-in display for dialing in mss. or bpm. Durable, like most things Boss.

Not a multi, but versatile: Foxgear Echosex Baby, a version of the Binson Echorec.

 

Boss DD 20 Giga Delay

 

I have the EHX Grand Canyon,. it makes some very pleasant sound's and if you learn how to use it...fantastic. I agree that it has far too many settings for me,. as I only use a handful of 'em. They are there if you need them however. It has a lot going on for the average "no fuss" player to figure out and can be somewhat intimidating to reach all of it's full potential.

 

After getting this, I never shopped for another delay.
Of course I have stacks of reverb, tremolo and OD .

 

I’m currently drooling over delays. If I pull the trigger, it will be for a Boss DD-200. It seems to be a good combination of features, but looks to have a very nice interface.
