delay pedals
 

What delay pedals do you guys use?

Currently I use a Boss PS-2 and a Boss DD3. I'll never part with the PS-2 because it's so unique, but I'm considering parting with the DD3 and replacing it with either a EHX Stereo Memory Man or a Line 6 DL4. Any comments on either of those?

E/H Memory Man, original issue.
I have no problems with the new ones as long as they're not the kind with that extra gain stage. The straight-up reissues are good.

boss dd5

actually owning a boss dsd2 and an ibanez de7. soon going for a new one... the best one yet.

DD5 as well, it holds its own pretty well.

I really like my DD6 even though it might be broken.

should have this tomorrow

very nice $30 analog delay
also have a dd20 and a deluxe memory man

i have a dd3 and a dd20

I use a Boss DD-6 Digital Delay, its feature that doesn't get old (beside messing around with huge long delay) is the 'hold function' which allows you to loops like 5 seconds of jammin' over and over... My next delay pedal will be able to loop much longer due the function's usefullness in improving your improvisation etc. (I.e. Jamming blues for hours, jamming over 'hits of sunshine' riff for years, makin' up your own stuff)

i have a dd3, it's great.

i'd love to get a second delay or even another one.

behringer pedals rule!!! you have to treat them like porcelain eggs but they have great sounds.

just snatched this up on ebay

i, too, am the prowd owner of a dd3 which i enjoy thoroughly

arion pedals are cheap, aren't they?

yes.

ive got a boss ps2 aswell

its probs my main delay, really versitile sound wise with a really nice lo fi way of letting the repeats turn into a sort of hiss, only in a very good way.

i hardly ever use the octave modes but theyre nice to have. the ps2 is pure slowdive in a box.

ive also go a danelectro reel echo and a biyang 'analog' delay.

DD5. I love it.

i own 3 pedals - dd5, crybaby, mxr distortion.

Yeah. I love how you can make this pedal self-oscillate and "blow up."

It's such a dirty, nasty delay - it's so awesome. To bad they didn't keep making something like that.

I use a carl martin red repeat. It sounds pretty analogue-ish for a digital relay. I'm getting the new boss space echo and maybe another delay.

where the fuck have you been? :mad:

i paid $75
these are discontinued now and highly regarded. plus it's stereo.

they are plastic, but i had their flanger and theyre very sturdy.

I had an Arion analog delay for 15 years. I loved that thing.
I ran it into the ground and managed to find another one. Cheap construction, but there's something about it I love. I use it on my voice now, and it's the perfect thing.

any experience with the arion delay in stereo, Savage Clone?

i'm not sure what kind i have, but i have 2 delay pedals, one of which has a reverse and a loop feature. there is now way i could play guitar w/ out delay... it would be impossible.

$75? jeez, they sure are highly regarded.

i used to see them a lot on heaps of broken electronics here, maybe i should buy one next time i see one before they become collector's choices.

I used it in stereo quite a lot, but usually not with the amps spread out wide enough to appreciate it. A few experiments in high school, of course, but mostly just goofing off.

i was curious if it pans or is just out of phase in stereo or what...

they go for more than that even.

It pans, from what I remember. Delay repeats ping-pong.

nice...what i was hoping.

yeah, that's what i kinda imagined, i better score me some, maybe for reselling even.

This is what I use

That's the one I'm looking at getting. How do you like it?

$75?! You can get the entire set of discontinued pedals (10 of them) for $200 bucks from Musicians Friend (on backorder now, but still available even though they're discontinued. That seems kinda weird to me, but I guess whoever they get their stuff from still has some in inventory?) I've heard that the delay is pretty good though, so maybe it's worth the premium.


The arion pedals cost $15-30 each when they were new and still being manufactured, I had the stereo chorus - it was good for a $25 pedal but nothing special. Something I'd buy to try and mod and mess around with.

im sold mine...:(

I love it. Looping is a lot of fun with it. You can make cool sounds. The modulated delay is cool for crazy sounds, as is the reverse.


The SAD-1 and the SCH-1 aren't in that bundle, the SAD-3 and SCH-Z are, which supposedly aren't as good.

the SAD-3 took the place of the SAD-1 a while ago...not too good of reviews on that version...i'd like to try one, nontheless.

damn, now the effects thread is totally dying.

I used to use the SAD-3. It wasn't bad for ambience.

You're all invited to my 1000 post party!

I'm probably going to pick up an SMMH this week.

Gotcha, I didn't realize the difference in the models on the Arion pedals.

Don't you guys always wonder why companies release new pedals that mess with the perfection of their older ones and end up being crappy?
