What’s your favorite delay pedal?

[Aceman]

So, just feeling ll about the Delay this morning...

And I have always said - give me a DD3 and an AD9 and I am good to go for whatever. However, as a guitar child of mostly the 80's, I'm all about that repeat!

However -
- I love my Boost DLA. GREAT pedal for a lead boost - delay in one pedal on a board. Also, tap + you can adjust the tone all the way to Analog/Tape with the Fidelity & Drift settings. It is currently living on the Loop of my Marshall combo and gets daily use.
- I still say everyone needs at least one Swiss Army delay. Not great for live, obviously, but super awesome at home for "Hmmm, maybe some tape at this particular moment(or digital, or analog, or mod, or reverse, or whatever...)"
- For live, nothing beats any multi with presets. Because you seriously need to be specific for songs; China Grove, Ain't Talking' Bout Love, Every Breath You Take, and Comfortably Numb just don't work with one pedal, even with an expression controller.
- I have always loved my RV-3 Delay/Reverb, because a Delay with Reverb is the BEST delay sound ever created.
- That said, I am jonesing for something that is a two button delay / reverb pedal so I can delay or reverb or delay + reverb at will. As much as I'd love a Source Audio Collider, I'm too cheap for that. And if you are gonna say "Nux Atlantic" shut your whore mouth! I am very very intrigued by the new Wampler Catacombs.
- But let's face it, I grew up playing in the 80's. So I really think I need one of these. My computer desktop is currently this...because just wow.

Am I the only person here who loves the Ibanez AD-9 ???? WTF ???

After Boss, it is the other "OG" of Analog pedals!

While the Obscure is a great "Everything" delay..I do not like the concentric time/repeats knobs. Delay Neds time/repeats/level in 3 separate knobs.

Is this pic better?

I've been actually twisting some knobs on this lately.

I'm currently going through another bout of gas regarding the Boss SDE-3 pedal.

[Aceman]

maybe. i dont need a reverse delay. i am happy with a really nice analog delay that sounds amazing. i have digital delays that have simulations of all the things, but nothing sounds as good as a great analog delay to me

Come on Jeremy. Are you saying you don't get your "Are You Experienced" on every once and again??? If not, maybe because you don't have a reverse delay...

Fulltone SSTE. Old Boss DD-2 is cool too.

[ArtieToo]

digital delays are almost always cleaner and clearer than analog. as far as volume drop... i havent noticed that with the delays that i use

I hate to keep harping on the Alchemist, but its digital delay has a "ducking" mode, that increases the volume and clarity of the delays as your signal fades out. Kinda cool.

I’m not a big delay person but I like the mxr carbon copy

thats a great pedal, ive used one a few times and almost bought one twice, but already have a handful of delay pedals. based on the old dm2 i believe?

Yes I believe it was, it was WahWah that turned me on to the delay and the chorus made by VV’s.

Pigtronix Echolution 2. Eventide Rose is the second one.

It's pretty vain to think that anybody wants to hear what you are playing more than once.
