This pedal suddenly does not exist: DELAY

[Aceman]

Ace, I need a rule clarification. What about mechanically manipulated Analog Delay/Phase/Flange? If allowed -I would hire a Rasta hype man onstage to manually do my effects with his fingers and tape loops.

Sh*t would rule.

This is delay only. The "delay" in those things still exists.

So . . . if one were to hire one of those 8 year old guitar prodigies from YouTube to follow you around and just play everything you play (but a little quieter) . . . that would be a viable solution?

Oh man, thats a killer idea

Is it a delay pedal? No. So it is ok.

I'm good with reverb only. Delay is just frosting. It's tasty but I could resist.

Oh, then I would just use 2 Revox recorders.

Sweet! It looks like I could have an echoplex!

If delay PEDAL suddenly doesn't exist, then I'm-a breakin' out dis bad boy rat cheer!

No - that is a tape delay

I think GuitarStv's idea is best, except instead of a child -Im going with a musical savant little person to follow me around and mimic each guitar lick so fast it sounds like perfect delay on stage... they just need a great ear and dress like Warwick Davis in the Napoleon scene in Time bandits

 

[Aceman]

So basically, can't live without delay - given that that child abuse made it to the table.

If I promise not to play any U2 does it still count as child abuse?

You'd have to have them on a set of headphones and a cable length 2' per millisecond latency/delay you want. Factoring the return trip, for 320 milliseconds, they need to be about a football field away.

Nah, I'de have a giant cable coil wrap on a cable dolly so my mini me could rock right next to me.

But then you need a second cable coil going the opposite direction to cancel the hum all over again.

This. For many decades, my "delay" was a Teac/Tascam reel-to-reel. Still have it. Only two speeds available, but you could dial in all the analog tape saturation you wanted. It's still the sweetest delay I have.

Nah, we convert to balanced twisted pair line level and back to unbalanced at my mini me for the long haul.

I think I want a whole team of mini mes to push around the cable dolly.

This I gotta see.

Sorry - that's a REAL tape delay. Not possible. Tape technology magically changed so you can't do that. No delays.
