Sooooo many to choose from now on their website,,,,,,I'd be most grateful for any advice/favorites that would work well for fast shred-lead type stuff.
Some subtle modulation on top of delay that doesn't get too jumbled on fast runs is what I'm after.

Yes sir, for the original's single toneprint slot.
Been checking some out and really like Paul Gilbert's "gadda da vida" for starters'
Would just like to sift-through and come up with only a handful to audition for myself.

I've always been a big fan of Mike Stern's toneprint. It's just subtle and pleasant and sounds good in just about every musical setting setting.

Wow I can't even find samples for most of these. Oh well, trial and error I guess.
Downloaded the Doug Aldrich main lead delay, the JP mountain top, and the Paul Gilbert delay. That's three to audition. Didn't care for the stock-print much.

Also now realizing that I can't loop then run delay/mod leads over the top.
Seen a newest-version ditto on CL for $60, might have to make an offer.
That would put me only $150-in on both and with the loop-length of the ditto it could be used as guitar-1/rhythm for a complete song if the loop was made with a click for reference. Finally a second-guitarist I can get along with!

I like the ones TC has made or edited, I can't remember but I have one of their Space Echo or something from that subsection in the toneprint slot.

I'll add one more feat. that can be done on the normal FB delay pedal. With mini toggle set to the dual delay option, the default is a parallel delay. You can have it in series option by connecting the mono out to the stereo in, then the stereo out to whatever is next in the chain. Depending on how its connected, the dotted eight will be stacked with the quarter note or vice versa. Its a neat trick that works on other stereo pedals too.

I'll get more into the toneprints next week. So far I think my favorite stock setting (for high-gain leads) is actually the analog set very mildly, almost like a reverb and/or chorus.

One thing I noticed right-off is that it's not really "fair" to scroll-through the delays without adjusting each to it's own sweet-spot. The intensity and dimension of the effect varies greatly from one preset/type to the next.
