Delay pedal....... Which one?

[kronborg]

First I would like to say hello. I'm new on this board! Beside that, I will appologise from spelling failures and incorrect english. I come from Denmark, so my english is not the best.

Back to the subjekt: I am 16 years old and I have been playing guitar for about 3 years. In the last year I have bought several effect-pedals, and I like them alot.

BUT! Something i really need now is some kind of delay! (I've already got Cry Baby, Big Muff, DS-1 Distortion, OD-3 Overdrive and CS-3 Compression Sustainer)

I have looked at you guys as a guest the last week or two, and quite many of you seems to have quite some experience.

Now the big question: Is there a delay-pedal, witch sounds so much better that the others you have tried?
The price doesn't matter. But it has to sound good! :)

My personal favorite is the BOSS DD-3. Its alot more simple than alot of other delays, and it sounds good, not alot of extra noise either.

[merker]

the ibanez delay/echo is the way to go

Unless its a high end analog delay pedal,delay is delay IMO.

Later! \m/

I have had Boss DD-3s, DD-5s and DD-6s as well as a Maxx Delay.

The DD5 or 3 were my fave. I don't really like the DD-6 and the Maxx pedal was just sad !

I had a friend with a Digitech delay which was nicer than any of the ones I had (jealous, who me)!

[kronborg]

OK!

I've just bought a DD-3, after trying DD-5 and DD-6.

There were not the great differences between thoose pedals, but I found the DD-3 more easy and to use. It was a little bit cheaper too.

Do anyone of you have a great setup for the DD-3?

I've found one myself (think it could be useful for solos and riff's), but I would like to hear what you guys think.

E.LEVEL: 9 o'clock
F.BACK: none
D.TIME: About 10 o'clock

MODE: S.50ms

Thanks for the help!

I've never used one.

Personally I'm a big fan of the effects boards in general. You can get all tje effects and have the option of customizing them, as well as cabinet emulation.

Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I like some slight delay on my soloing. About .5ms or so.

Cool, there should ba a booklet with the pedal with a bunch of suggestions. Could you post the one for stereo delay ?

Cheers

There are 3 suggestions:

To produce a twin guitar sound:

E.LEVEL: MAX
F.BACK: MIN
D.TIME: 12 o'clock

MODE: M.200ms

For a reverb-type effect:

E.LEVEL: 12 o'clock
F.BACK: 1-2 o'clock
D.TIME: Adjust

MODE: M.200ms

For a sitar-like effect (connect an unconnected plug into the direct out):

E.LEVEL: 12 o'clock
F.BACK: MAX
D.TIME: Adjust

MODE: S.50ms

- Hope you could use that! :)

I think I agree with Pantallica. I like the effects boards better. On my RP200 from Digitech I get a great stereo digital delay, as well as tons of other effects, amp emulators, etc. for about the price of a decent delay pedal.
