Which delay pedal?

[Top Jimmy]

Which is best out of the mass produced delay's around $150??

Basically used for ambiance and in place of reverb in a sense.

Boss DD-3:
See this used by pro's all the time.

MXR Carbon-Copy:
Many people seem to like this pedal, simple controls.

Hardwire:

Vox Time Machine:
Plenty-o-features but read some comments that the guts are kind of cheap.

Better options for the same price?

Don't go HARDWIRE.

I couldn't gel with it.

I have the MXR Carbon Copy and that's the one pedal that has always and will always be on my board. I rarely solo, yet still have a lot of use for the delay for ambiance, subtle nuances, and making notes ring out with lush.

The DD-3 is also recommended.

Get both?

Carbon Copy... Enough said.

Nah, one or the other. I've been dumping too much money in my other hobby.

Thanks for the input.

Try the EHX Memory Toy too.

Can't say it's better or worse than any of the others as I haven't tested them properly,
but it's on your price bracket and I love mine.
The stock modulation circuit is badly adjusted, but one screwdriver and 2 minutes of your time and it's great.

I have a DD-3 myself and love it. You can't really go wrong with Boss.

Then CC for sure. (unless you already have another analog delay) even then, the CC's tooo good to pass up.

It's all on your budget though, could probably find dd-3 cheaper used.

You should be able to get a used TC Nova Repeater for about $150. That thing is killer.

Re: Which delay pedal?

I really like the Time Machine.

[FretFire]

Re: Which delay pedal?

In that price range I would (and did) grab a used DD-20.

Re: Which delay pedal?

I hate to further expand the field, but the best delay I've ever played (and still own) is the Line 6 Echo Park.

Had a big doublewide BOSS DD-20 GigaDelay, and the Line 6 sounds better.

TC Flashback Delay fan here.

Re: Which delay pedal?

I had a DD20, and it was nice, but I sold it in favor of the Carbon Copy. The sound from the Carbon Copy is amazing, and I concur about it being the only pedal that will never leave my board.

Re: Which delay pedal?

Or you can always hire a dozen other guitar players to naturally produce a delay for you??????????

Looks cool actually, I mean feature wise, that is one butt ugly pedal.
