In your opinion which is a better analog delay, Ibanez AD-9, Malekko Echo 300(dark), or the MXR Carbon Copy??? Im looking to spend less than $200.

I love my AD-9 and see know reason to ditch it... but if I did it again, the Malekko Echo 300(dark) would be my first choice.

I love my Ibanez Delay Champ CD10....it's analog with 20-300 ms of delay,nice and warm....a poor man's Boss DM-2. I highly recommend it.

There's one on eBay with a buy it now of $120 or best offer.

i'll say carbon copy. it's as cheap if not cheaper than the other options and it's small. very easy to use, and it sounds nice and warm. and it'll do up to 600ms. the modulation option isn't the best sounding though. i'm still playing with mine on that end

I have a Visual Sound H20, and I like it a lot. It has a nice analog-sounding delay with (if I remember correctly) a full second of delay time, plus one of my all-time favorite choruses in one box. It'll run you about $180, and it's a little bit on the large side, but it sounds amazing, in my opinion.

I don't know...I heard Fuzzrocious Pedals' "THE WALKING DELAY" is where it's at! (shameless self-promotion!)

The Ibanez is a subtle pedal. If that's what you like, go for it! It's not as "in your face" as other delay pedals...Nice and subtle and well-suited for bass!

None of these.

Save up and get the MoogerFooger MF104Z. It's big. It's expensive. But... it's worth it!

Sorry, I really like 104Z but I think there are also quite a few other less expensive analog delays that sound really nice, too. Good luck in your search...

OK I'm sorry for the thread derail...but I have a question about analog delays, and don't really want to start a new thread to ask it...this may sound like a noob question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway:

Are there any "analog" delays out there that have tap tempo, or is this a digital delay feature only?

I can't seem to find any analog delays with this feature...if they are out there...please let me know...

As long as you don't dime everything except for the rate (which you leave at zero), the MXR Carbon Copy is the best delay for the price.

If you do set the Carbon Copy to the above setting, your foundation will rattle. Not even earplugs will help you.

My understanding is that tap tempo was a digital-only feature.

another vote for the carbon copy if you are looking for a darker sound...
i love how smooth the time and regeneration work together manually.
no problems here with the modulation, i just popped the back off and
turned the depth up all the way(there are two internal pots, one for depth, one for speed). the small size is great, the blue led very easy to see. i scored mine for around 100 bucks used, in the box. perfect compliment if you already have a digital delay.

The Diamond Memory Lane is an analog delay pedal with digitally-controlled tap tempo. I think it's ~$400 or so, though.

A way to do this is to get a good digital delay with tap tempo that can copy the analog sound. For example the new Boss DD-7 has tap tempo and from what i heard a decently good analog setting. Another one would be the new digitech delay that is comming out. Here is the videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSBmy9mGeb0

Please correct me if Im wrong.

If, (or when) I go for an analog delay pedal, the frontrunner would be the Carbon Copy. Actually, my digital, (SMMH) has been acting up recently, and was sent over to my second board, (which I never use), so maybe a Carbon Copy is in my near future. I'm kinda filter heavy atm anyway, I could make room.
