Need a New Delay Pedal, What's Your Favorite?

[Butch Snyder]

I have a Seymour Duncan DejaVu delay pedal. It's a great pedal if you know how to use it; and up until a little while ago, I didn't. I'm using it for general delay repeats. Trying to use it for those dotted-eighth note repeats ala Albert Lee. I'm looking for a pedal to use specifically for a subtle slapback. What do you guys use?

How much do you want to spend and what bells and whistles do you need above what you mentioned? If all you need is slap back I would go with a Carbon Copy. It is cost effective, does the trick nicely for what you mentioned.

Don't need anything boutique $$$$$. Just need a good clean, easy pedal to get a good, but subtle slapback. Nothing like a rockabilly echo.

The carbon copy would do that.

I like the MXR Carbon Copy, its Analog, simple and works very well.
I've tried others but always come back to the CC.

The MXR Carbon Copy or the Boss DM-2w would be my recommendations. Can't go wrong with either one.

Good to see you around, Butch. I hope you are doing well.

I have a Joyo Nascar (BBD) analog delay;

It's rather cheap, has a max. of 350ms time; and sounds great to me! . That classic, warm, "lo-fi" delay analog tone.

...mention that I'm a poor artist with debt; so I can't afford those high-end pedals.

The Donner Yellow Fall is a good, cheap delay that makes for a nice slapback. The Carbon Copy is pretty great, though.

The Donner Yellow Fall is very cool and super cheap. Also, doesn't take up much room at all.

Another vote for the Carbon Copy. I think it will shine for what you are looking for. Another option is a Boss DD-7. It has a very nice analog setting, but also has a variety of other delays that can be really fun to play.

I have a donner yellow fall. It's a decent little delay pedal if you just need something simple and good sounding.

To do what you want easily, I'd look for a delay that has tap tempo and a dotted 8th setting. I use an old Line DL4, which sounds glorious, but it may be too big for you.

 

[Erlend_G]

Doesn't Bill Frisell use a DL4?

 

[Securb]

I also use the Carbon Copy for my slapback.

 

[misterwhizzy]

I'll add another vote for the Carbon Copy. I love it.

I have the DejaVu for dotted eighth note and normal delay stuff. I ordered a Donner Yellow Fall. Should arrive tomorrow.

I appreciate that. I'll let you know.

Hate to not be more interesting, but Carbon Copy in my go to for analog delay -its sort of the GOAT by most basic delay measures.

Mincer, aren't you mister one trip in for gig guy? then DL4 is a boat anchor and commitment to put on a board -I would avoid something that size no matter how innovative it is/was.

I use the new version of it, in the HX Effects. But I'd rather 1 DL4 than 2 delay pedals.
