Re: Do I need an additional pedal?

Possibly. I'm not a big delay guy. I could try it though. I used to never have a pedal board.

Oooooooo...I am intrigued. Forgot about that one...

Try a Vapor Trial with just once delay of your signal or just two. More repeats can get in the way many times. Then control the mix knob so it's not so obvious. I guarantee it will make you smile
 
Re: Do I need an additional pedal?

Minimal would be my take on it. My playing isn't consistent enough to use more.

Basic ambience pedal set:

Chorus:
Delay:
Reverb: Check

You will likely never go bad with a chorus and delay in the lineup just on principle. For the There are a lot of things where a very subtle chorus might be used, or a slap delay in your sound ballpark.

Spend $100, get a used Mooer Ana Echo and a Ensemble King - small, cheap, sound great.

As everyone has mentioned - An analog delay may be great for those slaps, like an AD-9 or an MXR Carbon Copy. Both more expensive, but absolutely keeper pedals.

For a Chorus…anything you wants.

My Delay stable at the moment is an RV-3 Delay/Reverb, a DD-3, an AD-9, and - listen up a second…a Visual SOund Garage Tone Axle Grease Delay.

Here is why I use that; I have the DD-3 / AD-9 set for two particular sounds, a solo/lead delay and a tighter metallic tone. I use the Axle Grease for changing sounds! I can go from Van Halen Ain't Talkin' Bout Love (tight single repeat) to Kix Cold blood (slap echo), to Van Halen Panama, and a couple of other things really fast. The pedal is larger, the knobs are far apart, there is room to mark settings on black case. Think about it….

I use a reverb to get that sound of the springs bouncing around. It is partially for the reverb tone, but a big part is that snarly spring sound. Think Agent Orange in the early 80s covering pipeline.
