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....
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.

Looking for a decent digital delay and need to be able to tap tempo with it. Does not need to be boutique by any means.

EHX Canyon. It'll do any type of delay you want and sounds great doing it. Super versatile, and $150 brand new.

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.

My fav is a visual sound tap delay with a time bandit. Just spin the dial to the BPM and the delay is set perfectly.

Deja Vu is a great delay unit. Had to read the manual so I would know how to use it effectively (pardon the pun). Was it discontinued?

I will admit that the Andromeda looks beyond awesome. It's also beyond my price range.

TS, if you do go with TC Flashback, and you intend to use it live, make sure it's the 2nd gen model. And maybe even then get an external tap tempo footswitch. I have the 1st gen and while a great little pedal, its take on tap tempo make it quite limited in a live setting.
