Looking for a Delay pedal

Re: Looking for a Delay pedal

What are you looking for in a delay pedal? I've owned most delay pedals out there and settled on the timeline.

THIS -

Buying a delay is like buying a house or car. If you don't know what you need, you will end up buying way more than you want.

Tell us this first. Then we'll suggest one.

Re: Looking for a Delay pedal

So far the two I keep looking at are the TC Electronics Nova Repeater OR the Eventide Timefactor.

I'm wondering if I should save up and wait to get a timefactor or just go ahead and get the repeater for cheap off ebay.

Also not that I don't like analogue delay I just prefer digital from what i've heard of different delays but other recommendations are welcome.

Have you ruled out the Korg SDD-3000? I had the rack unit back in the day, the pedal does sound just like it. Very clear and digital.

Re: Looking for a Delay pedal

I use a carbon copy and a boss DD7. Given you are not interested in analogue that eliminates the MXR, however you may be interested in the DD7 as it is a digital delay (with additional modulation, reverse and yes... Analogue modes), as well as tap tempo. It also has a basic loop function too which can be fun. Anyhow I cannot claim to have exhaustive knowledge of delays however you can do a lot worse than the boss.

There is a "tap" tempo feature on the flashback. It's kind of weird though. If you press/hold the switch for 2 seconds it goes into audio tap mode. At which point you pick or strum the strings at the desired tempo. It can be a pain in the butt, and cuts your signal while you do it. But it's there.

For very simple delay needs, I like both the Carbon Copy and the Aqua Puss. For complicated delay, I like the Alter Ego X4. All are affordable.
