Delays: Analog vs Digital, what do you think?

[proxy]

I really like hybrid delays, there you get it all, long times and good tones.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, could you give me an example?

Id recommend you check out the line6 green delay and reverb modeller. Its a whole heap in one and excellent quality and versatility. A lot of pro's ive been reading up on seem to be using these in their setups. eg. Metallica and The Darkness...just to name a couple.

I'd like to get one of those Line6's. However, not cheep!

Ok proxy, not a full dsp digitaldelay, only use one or several digitalchips, usually 8bit stuff so no hifisounds there, it is just a BBD that has been replaced with a digital chip, all the rest is analouge, Princeton makes some very very good sounding chips for delay or surroundsound that can be used.
Most of my delaysounds comes from a hybrid, the goods is that they can take a serious input unlike the BBD that will crackle and sound just as bad as a lousy digitalchip, if it has to take that kind of input.
And it can sound as lofi as an analouge BBD, with weird little noises too, I better make a clip soon using a Delayla and a hybrid.

I'm suprised to see no one has mentioned the Ibanez DE-7! I like both digital and analog.
