Still, I had a long digital delay/sampler pedal, which was lovely for its perfect reproduction of long sounds, so you could play with yourself. But alas, it was nicked along with the rest of my gear last year.

The absolute best relatively inexpensive digital delay that sounds pretty analog is the Danelectro Dan Echo. Only not-analog thing about it is you can't get it to do the runaway spaceship self-oscillate thing.
I really like the DOD fx90. It's the poor man's analog delay.
John's right about the cheapie Danelectro slapback echo pedals too. They're so cheap you could get 3 of them, daisy chain and make some really cool explosive slapbacks. Heheheheh.
"All you know about Delay Pedals" could mean a lot more than which models are good for what kinds of delays... What do you want to know? Cause we could get into the difference between the MN series chips and the Reticons in analog delays, among other things, if you want to get all technical. Which is sometimes interesting and sometimes annoying. :)

― the baconian dynasticist, Wednesday, 4 January 2006 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link
I hope you don't mean to imply that the DD-6 is the only delay pedal which will cause pitch shifting if the delay time is being changed while playing. Because every delay pedal ever made does this. ;)

Analogman sez it's true, and I believe him: "PRICE INCREASE in July 2006, these were too much of a bargain, I knew it was too good to be true. Prices went up $10 in early 2006 then 30% more in mid July. I had several in stock so will keep the old price till they are gone. Will be $295 soon, sorry about that!"

Anyone know of a good combo looper/delay pedal that's 300 or less? I was looking at a pedal like the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai but disappointed by the lack of an option to save loops. I do really like its multitude of delay options though.

in between wanting something straightforward and something with lots of options. i find with the latter i often just latch onto my favorite sound and not really using anything else, so maybe just better to get something simple that already sounds good. i used my friend's mxr carbon copy for a show and liked it a lot.
i want something that sounds analog - i like noise and messiness - but don't really care if it's really analog or convincing facsimile

i know it doesn't matter but that thing is so ugly. why can't all pedals look like mxrs?
despite being totally plug ugly and visually unappealing, theres some good stuff in the garagetone line - the drivetrain is a reissue of the reverend drivetrain and is a super useful od/distortion, and i sell a crap ton of the oil can phaser and the tremolo. the only real loser out of the bunch is the chainsaw distortion, which is just awful.

i have high hopes for the earthquaker disaster transport sitting on my front counter, but thats more $$$ and i havent plugged it in yet. its better looking tho! i also got a dispatch master in, which is cool because its a reverb + delay in a single mxr case, but i think its going to be too digital and clean for what yer talking about.

can someone help me understand the delay effect that's burbling underneath this piece? It starts at about 0:11. I've heard this in a few other songs, but this is the most prominent one I could think of. I heard someone make this happen in some youtube demo for a delay pedal too, but I can't find it.
― how's life, Thursday, 28 March 2013 13:19 (eleven years ago) link
you mean just the thing where you change the delay speed while the sound is echoing so that the repeats speed up (and get higher in pitch) or slow down (and get lower in pitch)? or something more detailed?
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 28 March 2013 14:40 (eleven years ago) link
Sorta. It's not just that though. There's a "whooshing" sound to it.
― how's life, Thursday, 28 March 2013 14:53 (eleven years ago) link
...which I feel is intrinsic to the delay mechanism somehow, rather than being the original sound that modified through the delay.
― how's life, Thursday, 28 March 2013 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe.
It's hard to tell bc of the "strings" and "surface noise" but it just sounds like any analog "bucket brigade" delay. The precision with which the delays enter and exit sound like the product of a plugin.
― a source of "vegelate" (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 28 March 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
the source audio also sounds like it might be run through an envelope filter and then through the delay - that might be the whooshing you are thinking of.

I'd also prefer something with some character/color. I've watched way too many shitty pedal demos on Youtube this week. Is there anything similar to the Minifooger delay that I'm overlooking?
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
No expression pedal in, but the Caroline Kilobyte sounds awesome and has a momentary footswitch that engages the infinite feedback while you keep it held down and then quickly fades it out when you release the switch, which is incredibly cool. Plus, it's $200.
