I already have a Fender RI Reverb, my Rivera S120 has a built-in chorus. and I recently got a Boss RT-20 Leslie sim. Play Byrds, Beatles, Pink Floyd, 60s garage band rock, alt-rock and a bit of alt country(R Adams, Wilco). I dabble in Blues and Bluegrass too. I want to get Gilmourish delay sounds among others. What pedal would you recommend?

Hands down get a L6 DL4. Great sounds 3 presets tap tempo and a 14 second looper. Plus you can run it in stereo!! Killer peice!

For the right pedal I might spend 150 to 200, prefer to go used. Tried an Echo Park and had the bad hiss issue so back it went. I am flexible so I might even stretch the budget to the new or used Maxon AD99. Heard good things about that pedal. If I can get a good one for 75 bucks thats good too.

I have a Boss DD20 Gigadelay and I really love that pedal. I also think it's a little better than the DL4's. the control layout isn't quite as simple but i think the tone preservation is better and from what I saw them go through when I worked at GC, the Boss is more durable.

Line 6 DL4 is awesome, i have one. But if you want something that would probably be even nicer go try out a t-rex Replica Delay :D

I just snatched up an Ibanez DE7 cheap. I just love it. Does the washed out 70s thing really nicely. Beautiful decay. Check out the Ibanez site, his some sound samples.

I was looking at the DD-20 too and I agree the layout is a bit complex. From what I have read it seems to popular with effects junkies for tone, flexiblity and durability.

The Maxon AD999 analog delay is amazing! try to get that one if you can.
I think you can score them for a little over 200 used.

May favorite, which I always use...

Akai E2 Headrush...excellent delays, tape loop sim (the pedal has 4 tape head outs, in addition to mix out), looper (up to 23 seconds!), and tap tempo.

Extremely versitile, and can be bought brand new for $200

As far as Im concerned, I always thought Gilmour used digital delay pedals to get more radical sounds #1 and #2 to clean up hum from boutique fuzz style pedals. Put a digital pedal at the end of your chain to make it act as a noise suppressor sort of thing. it actually works pretty well too.

The rocktron short timer can do the kind of delay that you hear on the wall and is reletivly inexpensive.
 
Re: What delay pedal would you recommend???

i just switched to a Line 6 DL4 and finished up my new board about 1 hour ago. after only about 30min of using it or so i know i like what i've tried so far and it can only get better with some tinkering!! i'd go with that, that's what i did, ditched my old boss and went DL4. granted this is a very fresh review but with the amount of people saying to go with it i think it's a good choice.

i like the echo park, but i use it in between my preamp and power amp. almost no hiss that way.
 
Re: What delay pedal would you recommend???

I like my DD6, never tried anything else than Boss though.. BTW how do you like your Reverb?
