Re: What's Your Favorite Delay Pedal????
line 6 echo park. hands down the finest delay pedal made. only delay pedal i have ever purchased due to previous pedals sounding like ass, and really affecting your tone. this one does, but in a good way, plus adds a volume boost if run between pre and power amp.
mine doesnt do the ticking that others have mentioned, but then again, i run my delay level quite low for just a bit of ambience.

Re: What's Your Favorite Delay Pedal????
The best I've tried was hands down the Maxon AD-999. Killer pedal. I A/B'd against the Fulltone TTE and I prefered the Maxon (I felt it was less hi-fi, warmer sounding, and had a more ambient vibe to the repeats than the TTE). Then again, (just to offer some perspective) I prefered the Roland RE-201 Space Echo to the Fulltone.....I liked the "imperfections" of it....felt it gave the delay more charicter than the TTE, though I can see why so many like the TTE so much.
I currently use a Boss DD-20. Also a good sounding, very flexible pedal IMO.
The best tape simulation I've heard thus far was in the Digitech DigiDelay....though I haven't had a chance to try out any high end boutique tape sim type delays.

I don't use delay pedals, but if I did, I'd be gassing for a H&K Replex. Tube-driven, dual-head delay, reverb... a monster pedal...

Boss DM-2
:beerchug:
The only delay pedal on my board. Basic, no frills. It's been there since I was in high school.
I have other excellent analog delays (Boss DM-2's, DM-3, Maxons, Arions, Ibanez), but the DM-2 is "it" to my ears.
PS: I can't stand digital delay. There is absolutely nothing digital between my strings and my speakers.

HEY.....I've got one & love it!
Not sure if I would've paid full price, but got a good deal on a barely used one.
Someone else around here has one...maybe The Chris...& loves it too.
The downside is it's BIG & the tube isn't exactly easy to get to...you have to pretty much take it apart to get to it.

Re: What's Your Favorite Delay Pedal????
I use a Boss ME-50 multieffects board with all the delays I could ever want. My favorite, if I were to use one, is either a light delay that sounds reverbish, or just a reverb (but normally I don't like the modelling I get with a reverb versus a delay set to sound like one), or a very heavy repeating style set at tempo with chorus so that I sound like a steel drum band sort of. Normally my three pedals on my favorite bank are set:
1) Fat blues OD with a small amount of delay for a very slight reverb,
2) Lead style OD+DS with a touch of chorus and delay,
3) Chorus with a slight delay.
Then in manual mode I have:
1) Blues driver
2) Chorus
3) Delay ~200ms
In manual I can selectively turn on or off the individual pedals as if they truly were individual compact pedals.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I know it's time to clean up, vacuum and take some new pics...
Again, I have 2 analog delays, the Boss and the Washburn in the upper right. I like the Washburn more.
