Well delays are fun...and all that

Re: Well delays are fun...and all that

The only delay I've been able to get along with is actually a Rolland SD-2500. I have not had the pleasure of trying a tape echo though. I almost never bring the roland out live though, most stages are too small for a wet/dry rig haha!

Re: Well delays are fun...and all that

Well it has a tape'ish sound.....but it does not have the behaviour nor the tone of analouge tape.
The emulated sound is not enough.... But aside from that, it is a sweet delay, personally I like the Brigadier more...

I didn't buy the El Cap for its attempt to emulate tape delays .. I just wanted it for clean, digital delay. A DD-3 might have worked as well, but I really like the Strymon's integral reverb function.

I am curious as to why you prefer the Brigadier. I would assume that for a straight clean delays there woould be little difference between it and the El Cap.

Why did you like the Brigadier better, and if a person (like me) isn't particularly interested in the modulating functions do you hear any benefit to it over something as simple as the DD-3?

The Brigadier has a sweet warmth to it...nice fattish notes....there is plenty of difference.
What DD-3??
There are few versions of that one

I don't know about versions. I have played a few over the years just sitting at GC ... never owned one. I thought they sounded very good for the price except for a little signal degradation at the last of the trails.
