Title: Which delay pedal
Post by: donovan.x on March 15, 2009, 01:41:27 PM: I am picking up a few fx pedals in the next couple of weeks but I need some opinions. I have decided which wah and chorus to get but I am unsure which delay to get? at the moment it's between the Satch 'Time Machine' and the Boss DD7.

Any input would be great.

I've had one since they first came out and I've been very chuffed with it. One extra feature it has is a button to add a little "wobble" to the repeats for a tape echo style effect. I like that too. Would be worth demoing one if you're tempted by a non-digital option.

The Nova delay is seriously let down by it's preset switching "tap dancing", IMHO.

This pedal sounds awesome but I love all wampler stuff

Post by: timski on March 17, 2009, 04:54:28 PM: Believe it or not but the Marshall Echohead is a tremendous pedal - 6 modes, plus tap tempo (via separate footswitch) and usually retails in the £40-60 region. I've been using one for about 2yrs now and am very happy with it. Much more versatile and cheaper than most of the others already mentioned.

Title: Re: Which delay pedal
Post by: donovan.x on April 18, 2009, 09:30:17 PM: The pedal has been delivered and I have been playing with it for a couple of days, it is really nice, solid as a rock and it has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. I will post a video of all my new pedals when the wah turns up.

+1

I have one and i love it. Turn the dials to 12 o clock, and it's perfect!

I find more modern delays difficult to find 'that' tone, if you just wanna make your sound scream and cry it's perfect.

Post by: morgasm on April 24, 2009, 12:20:03 AM: im currently using a guyatone md3 which i love. its a very transparent digital delay, very crisp. i believe its true bypass... a worthy contender. i had a malekko 300 dark and i dident like that at all, very muddy. i also have a homebrew electronics mimic mock 1 which is gd but for a more analogue sound. depends what kind of delay your after i suppose...
