My Arion SAD-1 finally passed away. I knew it was going to happen soon when it started acting senile on me, but it still hurts. My friends said "Why don't you just get a new delay?" I didn't think I was ready to just up and replace my long-time companion, but now I think I do really need it.
I played around with an MXR Carbon Copy, which played out similar to my SAD-1, but on crack. I liked it a lot.
Then I tried the Line 6 Echo Park, which I liked because of its sweeps and ability to just be an all out oscillation monster, but it sounded a bit too phony, obviously digital (even on the analog and tape settings) and I heard that they aren't very reliable.
Are there any others that I should try out? I saw a GuitarWorld demo a while back that had a pedal where there was a switch that slows down the delay time and then when you hit it again or let go (I forget which), it sends it all back in a surge and builds up to normal again. Perhaps that was a bad explanation, but I'm curious and want to play with it.
In any case, SAD-1, we had a good run. You will be greatly missed.
