Analog Delay

Jus, I was wondering if you have a favorite Analog Delay. I see that you have the MXR Carbon Copy and the Maxon AD999 as well as the Moog joint. Is there a go to pedal or do they all bring their own to the table. I also would like to pick a great Reverb. I saw that you use a verbzilla. I always found that pedal to be Sigur Ros in pedal form, which is great, but I was just wondering if you had another that you enjoyed as well. Hope all is well!

Thanks!

My favorite analog delay is a Boss DM-300 Delay Machine. :-) Sometimes a pedal isn't the item. Other than that, I do believe the MXR Carbon Copy and Diamond Memory Lane are my fave analog delay pedals. My favorite other NON-analog delay pedals are Guyatone MD-2, Line 6 DL4, and my current fave, the Empress Delay.

Old Boss grainy reverb pedals are amazing too, but Verbzilla is super super great...very worth it!

Do you ever do much with tape delays like the Echoplex and Space Echo?

Thanks Justin. I think I'm gonna go with the Carbon Copy and the Verbzilla.

On a different note...I found an Ampeg display in a Sam Ash in Ft. Lauderdale Florida with you on top. I'll post some pics when I upload them off my phone tomorrow. I tried to purchase it, but they refused to sell. Too bad.

Good choices!

Yeah, please send pics of that Ampeg display, would you? I actually don't really officially endorse Ampeg anymore, or anyone for that matter. But that's a subject for another thread, perhaps...

Jimmy: I use tape delays when they're in a studio, but I don't own one. As a long-time Beck sidekick, I suppose it's almost mandatory.

Best,
JMJ

Justin,

Do you have any experience with Danelectro's "Reel Echo" delay pedal? I've been tossing around whether to save some space on my pedalboard and go with a carbon copy. The thing is that while the dano is a monster, I really like some of the controls on the Reel Echo that give it a tape delay feel (warble / lo-fi/etc). It seems like a compromise between the upkeep of a tape delay and the convenience of a regular analog delay.

What have you found that you're able to do with the tape delay in the studio that translates effectively into live performance?

thanks

Jim

I dunno the Reel Echo, sorry.

I haven't really had to replicate tape delay stuff live myself. I use it mostly in a producer/engineer capacity, not as a bass player particularly.
