    I really like hybrid delays, there you get it all, long times and good tones.

Analog delay is more natural sounding than most digital pedals. Some of the digital stuff is decent, but a lot of it sounds to computerized to me. But unless you want to spend in excess of $200, you won't be able to find an analog delay with a maximum delay time greater than 300 ms.

      You should check out the Roland DC30 echo. It's analog and bucket brigate chips that can cover up to 1.2 seconds. I've owned two or three over the years and for the money you cant beat them for pure analog. Its a small box (about half the size of a Space Echo) that's laid out much like the Space Echo controls and features. You can find them for WELL UNDER $200 on Ebay. In fact, the one I still own, I picked up for $55 on Ebay. They are a real find. If you spot one, it's worth checking out for the few bucks the're going for.

          The BOSS DD-5 is one of the coolest delay pedals ever made. I use it with my Acoustic Rig to get the Tim Reynolds vibe. It is anything but vintage - nonetheless, it is very cool.

          I've not played the DD-6, but it sounds pretty neat if it has built in Tap Tempo.

              I'm not sure what you are talking about, could you give me an example?

                Id recommend you check out the line6 green delay and reverb modeller. Its a whole heap in one and excellent quality and versatility. A lot of pro's ive been reading up on seem to be using these in their setups. eg. Metallica and The Darkness...just to name a couple.

                    Ok proxy, not a full dsp digitaldelay, only use one or several digitalchips, usually 8bit stuff so no hifisounds there, it is just a BBD that has been replaced with a digital chip, all the rest is analouge, Princeton makes some very very good sounding chips for delay or surroundsound that can be used.
                    Most of my delaysounds comes from a hybrid, the goods is that they can take a serious input unlike the BBD that will crackle and sound just as bad as a lousy digitalchip, if it has to take that kind of input.
                    And it can sound as lofi as an analouge BBD, with weird little noises too, I better make a clip soon using a Delayla and a hybrid.

                        I'm suprised to see no one has mentioned the Ibanez DE-7! I like both digital and analog.
