What delays are you guys using?
« on: September 07, 2009, 06:56:26 PM »

What it says in the thread title, which delays do you use?

Use them in front or in loop?

Parallel or series loop?

Multiple delays for different toanZ?

Tap tempo or manual adjustments?

Do you tweak it a lot or just one setting and go?

I wanna know it all!

What it says in the thread title, which delays do you use? - MXR Carbon Copy

Use them in front or in loop? - neither at the monent, but it will be in the loop soon  ;)

Parallel or series loop? - I'll have the option of either

Multiple delays for different toanZ? - nope, just one pedal and one setting

Tap tempo or manual adjustments? - manual

Do you tweak it a lot or just one setting and go? - one setting and go for some atmosphere

I wanna know it all! - I've said it  :P

danelectro pb&j. just a cheap but effective pedal. use it up front because i don't have enough cables to put it through the loop.  :lol:

Carbon Copy in front as my Cornford doesn't have an effects loop.

Vox Time Machine in front of the amp. I like to fiddle and tap.

I have a Carbon Copy which goes in front of the amp as I have no effects loop. I tend to set it for either slap back echo or super long Pink Floyd type echoes.

Which delays do you use? Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo on my main board and Danelectro Dan-Echo on my smaller board

Use them in front or in loop? Infront of amp as most of the time I get all dirt sounds from pedals

Parallel or series loop? N/A

Multiple delays for different toanZ? Nope, 1 pedal per board

Tap tempo or manual adjustments? Manual

Do you tweak it a lot or just one setting and go? Mainly 1 setting but do tweak if wanting self oscillation effects :)

modtone analog delay
in front of my amp after overdrives, in a switchable loop amp doesnt have effects loop,
one pedal one setting, set and leave
only really use it to make my leads sound a bit cooler.

A BYOC 'analogue' delay. Set for either 250ms or 500ms infront of my clean tiny terror. I love delay, but cant be bothered faffing around with anything with a lot of options.

i use the cheapo daphon analogue one, and a digitech digidelay for when i need a digital delay. I generally use them in the loop, unless the amp i'm using doesn't have one.

Ah there are definitely patterns here.

What I'm wondering, as so many of you seem to use delays up front, don't you hate it when the delay is mushing up your lead tones, being in front of the overdrive? Or do you use drive pedals before the delays and run the amps cleanish?

i think i run my delay last in my chain. or somewhere after the overdrive. to be honest i didn't notice a huge difference between straight in the front and through the loop.
