Pedal for short delays

[Plessure]

I need a pedal just to make short delays. It needs to have a knob to select precisely between 0-30 ms or something like that, and a mix knob. No feedback knob is required.

Is there anything remotely similar to this in analog stompboxes? Should i build it myself?

I should've googled double tracking... The neuro scramble would not cooperate, apparently.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion!

Now if there were something less expensive... I'll be looking around

No problem [emoji4]

For that level of precision, short of a digital with a screen you can program (eg nova delay) it’s the best I could think of. It’s a great pedal in general.

If you’re more flexible and are ok ballparking it, the sweep of the good ole DD3 can be set between 12.5 and 50ms

I love the Rocktron Short Timer, but it is a big pedal and not very board friendly.

I use the Vapor Trail for these types of delays, but I am not aware of a small digitally-controlled precise analog delay that allows this kind of control.

It looks like a pretty neat one, but i dig 2-3ms delay. So you're saying digital control is necessary to reliably get to this range?

I just thought that a Zoom MS50 (or CDR70 ) might do it. Pretty cheap, specially used and you can set the ms. What I don’t know (I flipped mine) is if the delay range starts at 1ms

My guess is yes, with some sort of display. And I've never seen an analog delay that has this kind of control..if you need 2-3 ms, you could split your signal, and run one though several dozen feet of cable and somehow combine them. I don't know how someone can hear 2-3 ms without some sort of modulation on that signal, too.

I have borderline pathological attention to detail from years of electronic music production. Granted, it takes a kind of intense listening that perhaps is impossible while playing. More of a production thing to gel things just right. But the idea of having this with instant coordination feedback intrigues me.

Thanks for your suggestion, will check it out!

I don’t think Analog will go that short.

Looks like DD-7 goes as short as 1ms. Any delays with precise control of delay time are in the class of Timeline, Timefactor, DD-500, Chronos, Flight Time, etc.

EDIT - I didn’t even think of the Zoom. I wonder what the delay range is?

I was curious so I checked the parameters list.

It looks like most delays start at 1ms and go to 2 or 4s.

I was going to suggest this but it has no time variation.
Low on my list right now,,,,but I'd like to get one of these sometime in the future.

TC Flashback mini delay pedal

Its not analog but it does have analog delay type. You can create custom toneprints to change what the knobs do as well as min/max range of the dial. It can do what you want. 1ms at min & 30ms at max & various other things.

Hank for the win here! (Can’t believe I didn’t think about it)

He may not answer, as he sort of left.

Thanks for letting me know. I was sort of curious since I’ve never found less than 30ms delay useful.
