Been lusting for a delay with a dedicated tap tempo switch for years. Getting great sounds out of my TC flashback v1 in analog mode, and I remember a guitarist I used to play with wrangling great sounds out of his original Carbon Copy, so the deluxe had been on my radar since release day.
It's a messy, reverby mush. Repeats, even with bright switch on, are really weak and barely audible. Can turn up the mix, but then it sounds like a reverb turned up too high, rather than a delay. 18 volt operation makes no difference. It works alright clean and with a bit of crunch, but not with high gain, which is what it's going to be used for 95% of the time.
Sooooo.... what should I be looking at instead?
I'm not opposed to something digital that can emulate analog well, if all analog delays are gonna sound this bad (do they?).
I don't need a plethora of different sounds, I only ever use the Analog one on my flashback as is. Ideally, the only parameters I'll ever be tweaking are the tap tempo and subdivision.
JHS Panther cub comes to mind, but prohibitively pricey.
EHX Memory Man TT seems promising but the size alone would keep it off my board.
