I have tried a few delays over the past couple years and they all had one of two faults for my wants/needs: either they had a buffer (Tech 21 Boost DLA) OR they brightened my sound when kicked on because I do not run a buffer (every true bypass delay I tried).
Just got a Lovepedal EPH-3 Delay and I think I finally found one that works for me. It is true bypass and does not alter my base tone when off, and it actually makes my sound a tad DARKER when I turn it on. Exactly what I wanted. I am running it right into the front of my amp. The mix control has enough range to allow it to work well even when the amp gain is high.
Best part? $56 brand new from Lovepedal including shipping! Took 6 weeks to arrive but I am always willing to wait for a bargain.
I have not had a chance to try it out at stage volume yet. In a perfect world it will give me just enough of a boost to make an od unnecessary. Doubtful, though, because it really doesn't boost much, it's more like a tone shift. We shall see.
