Re: Recommend me a delay pedal, please.
Off all the delay pedals out there, what leads you to recommend that one? I see its been discontinued. (sure there are plenty out there)
I looked and see lots of great reviews of it. But just wondering why you feel its good for 80s metal? The delays I have get good reviews too, but not getting what Im looking for from them. (I dont rule out operator error)

I see that the DL-8 has been discontinued, bummer... I guess they are going for a new "style" with the Obscura and similar pedals. The reason I recommend it for the 80's sounds you are looking for is that it can do those "big" delays really well as well as having a modulation setting and it works great in fx loops which is where you want to put it for those sounds. It also sounds a lot better than the Boss delays IMHO, of course, as with everything, YMMV.
The TC Flashback is a great delay too FWIW.

Thanks again for the info! Never tried modulation before... They are discontinued, but the good news is that there are a bunch out there still! I hope this will do the trick. I really want to be able to nail a good 80s hair tone. Ive got an amp thats perfectly capable. Just gotta get that "venue filling" tone.. haha Then, I have to get the most important part ready.. me... Thats gonna be the most difficult part Im afraid..

Isn't hair metal more the digital delay territory?

My motto has always been: Don't get better ... buy more stuff. I wish I was kidding.
