With me moving from Line 6 amps with onboard effects, to a tube amp with none, I'm looking for a decent delay with tap feature.

Re: Best Value Tap Delay....
The Seymour Duncan Deja Vu is a great tap delay that does both digital and analog. They pop up used for about 100$ now and again.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: Best Value Tap Delay....
Generally speaking...
Digital delays will make a straight copy of your sound and will generally have the most variety in the different effects it can do to the repeats. Some delays have simulations for the other two mentioned here.
Analog delays will generally get darker/less-defined and may even distort/clip as they repeat depending on the settings. This is my personal favorite.
Tape echos will provide an almost "low-quality" repeat of the sound, which can sound pretty cool.
Delays into the front of your overdriven amp or drive pedals will distort less for the repeats because the repeats' signals are not as strong. Delays into the effects loop will do a straight repeat.
If I am wrong about these, please someone correct me.

Deja Vu, certainly.
The Flashback 2 just added it, and the DL4 does this sort of thing really well.Administrator of the SDUGF

Best Value Tap Delay....
Thanks. For Digital on the simple side Boss DD-3T, DD-5, DD-7; TC Nova delay on more complex side; Strymon Dig on the fancy side. Deja vu is great, DL4 is a classic. Flashback 2 is fine but I prefer having a dedicated tap button.Last edited by Blille; 11-11-2019, 01:24 PM.

Re: Best Value Tap Delay....
fully analog delay with tap is usually very expensive so digital is probably the way to go. i love the duncan deja vu and have one on my board that i use all the time, totally worth it if you can find one used

Re: Best Value Tap Delay....
Or if you want to go completely over the top, the EHX Grand Canyon. It can be had for only ~$30 more if you buy a used one, but it can do a whole lot more and comes in stereo.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why
