They sound absolutely gorgeous, but come on - £1758 (inc VAT) for a delay unit  :roll:

 :twisted:


They do sound the business, but they would need to at that price.

On Topic :
For digi echos I liked the digitech and the line 6 echo park (but not the big DM one) in their tape sim modes. My Boss DD5 is a good delay but it's too clean and I want multi tap (I however do enjoy jamming over the 5 second delay)

For analogue I you can find old Arion, Pearl and Ibanez which sound quite good and at decent prices. Though I do like the Memory Man despite them being noisy.

Off Topic:
For my own purposes I am hunting Binsons but the very cheapest I have seen on the last 4 years is 375 quid (they go up when I actually have the money). Also their preamps are supposed to contribute hugely to their sound

The Shadows style clips actually reminded me how much better tape (and analogue) delays sound, and how mad the delays they used actually where. Damn now I have to hunt out my pre teen albums (still atleast I can play the songs)

Thanks for the heads up and suggestions but as with all these purchases I guess I'm gonna have to put some thro' their paces.

The T REX replica and TC Electronics Vintage are possibles as well.....

^ Heh, theres always something more expensive

The TC & T-rex items are always a good bet

Apparently the Moog analogue echo is supposed to be quite something (I may try one out myself on Sunday)

added this bit :

Just did a little searching, the moog is a little expensive (for me) @ 465 quid, at that price I'd bite the bullet and use the same amount for a vintage binson.

Hmmm according to thomann the t-rex replay is a digital delay and I'm not sure about the TC. Personally if I was heading for a digital unit with emulation I'd look at the Echo Park or perhaps even better the Boss RE 20 (Space Echo emulator) as it has an excellent rep (from what I have read)

Thomann seem to have some good prices on analogue units ATM

http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_ad9.htm 114 quid
http://www.thomann.de/gb/tech_21_boost_dla.htm 120 quid

I also forgot about the Visual sound H20 http://www.thomann.de/gb/visual_sound_h2o.htm @ 120 quid (I actually suspect a price error as any I have seen are more expensive)

I have an old Ibanez AD-80 and a Danelectro Reel Echo.  The Ibanez is the best and smallest, but the Reel Echo is pretty nice too.  The current Ibanez is the AD-9 and if that is similar to the AD-80, it should sound good.  My old tube Copycat was the best though!!
So many pickups, so little time

If you want it a bit cheaper: The Red Repeat. (No tap tempo, though)

Akai headrush is only about £100 and has a lot of nice features too.

I left the headrush out as it's a digital pedal (same as the nova) as I thought he was requesting analogue pedals only.
