christmas present - delay??

Re: christmas present - delay??

Get a pair of Rocktron Short Timers. They sound great and they're inexpensive.

OT - how do you like that Epi Goldtop? I dig the pickup combo you have in it. I have an SM-1 neck in my Nashville Tele.

Get a pair? Do these have some kind of special function when you have 2?

No, you'll just have two of them.

I found years ago that even for live shows, two stompbox delays gave me enough preset sounds on my pedalboard without having to resort to a rack unit with multiple presets. These days, you can get a stompbox-style programmable units like the Boss DD20 or the Line 6 DL4, but a pair of Short Timers cost less. I paid $25 for one of mine and $28 for the other, lightly used on eBay. They don't do all the stuff the DD20 and DL-4 can do, but they give me what I need for ridiculously low cost. I usually keep one set for a short rockabliiy-style slapback echo, and use the other for long echos and rhythmic Police- or U2-style stuff. Works for me.
