Recommend an excellent Delay Pedal

Well Junior... There's another one... can't recall what it was, but it was Super... Man, I've lost my Memory!

Take a few Tripps down Memory Lane...

By George! I think it was called a ...


























...well, there were a few ... Real Diamonds, they were...

I'll have to wait for some Sunny Day to remember... Digit All to Hell...

What's your budget? Do you require tap tempo (where you tap the tempo on the pedal and it syncs to that tempo)? Crucial IMHO with a delay.

 

[JimmyM]

I still love the Carbon Copy, though I quit using it on my board (just don't have need for delay). Didn't miss tap tempo, either.

Carbon Copy works great if you want it to do one thing well. Other than that you can't go wrong with the TC Alter Ego or Flashback for flexibility and range.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I like the Carbon Copy if it's delay is long enough. Since you're new to pedals, I'd recommend the Line 6 M5. Great delays and lots of other goodies.

 

[Basshappi]

I love my carbon copy.

Me too!

my fx 90 finally gave up the ghost and i had to replace it,
the mini moog delay is great and it has a very versatile boost/drive that i love too

 

[Cazman]

The Moog Minifooger MF Delay gets no love at all.........

Well... Maybe a little. Tee hee

This statement is true.

 

[Daniel Piper]

IME, almost any will do.

Unless it has an awful bypass.

 

[vivaknoxvegas]

I love my TC mini-flashback.

The one i am interested in (rather than 'in need of') is the fairfield circuitry meet maude.

I recently researched and tested a few delay pedals to choose one as a birthday gift for my brother who plays lead guitar. The MXR Carbon Copy Analog won my little shootout. It only has three knobs and a modulation button but the simplicity makes it straight forward and easy to use. It's best feature is the gorgeous warm decay tone. Not sure if David Gilmour used the Carbon Copy on his "Comfortably Numb" solo but I think that solo best describes the sound of this pedal.

I played around with it before I gave it to him and was surprised that the warm tone sounded pretty good on the bass. Don't turn the knobs up all the way or will oscillate until you turn it down or the battery runs out.

Jack Deville Dark Echo. It's a delay even though the name says echo. Like the name suggests, has a nice dark tone and also an interesting 'sway' knob. Really nice for bass imo.

Earthquaker Devices' Dispatch Master has a nice dark carbon copy-ish delay along with lush and spacious sounding reverb in one MXR-sized pedal. Lives on my guitar board but is a blast with bass too!

It sure is. I have been using it more and more. A very tight delay really brings out slap parts and of course this pedal can get very lush as well.

I'm an echo ...
TC Electronic Flashback or Alter Ego
Source Audio Nemesis

 

[johnk_10]

I have a Nemesis coming and I already expect it to be my favorite delay.

 

[FretNoMore]

I've just quickly tried the presets and I'd say odds are good this will be a favorite for a *lot* of people.

I have a TC Alter Ego 2 and just sold a Flashback, and both are very capable with the Toneprint function but maybe a bit "safe ". The Nemesis on the other hand, is inspirational.

My fave delays are the Deluxe Memory Man with Tap, and the Maxon AD900.
The 900 is really really good.

So Earthquaker devices - Dispatch master has been mentioned, and Ive been looking at this pedal.
I notice Earthquaker has another pedal called the Avalanche Run. Is this pedal the same as Dispatch Master and more?
