Analogue Delays...

[Happynoj]

OK, here is the story:

I got into a bit of debt just before the summer (not GAS related...) and so I put my effects buying on hold for a bit. Now the end of my problems are in sight and I am starting to think about continuing with my board. Things changed for me over the summer, and now I am much clearer about what I want. One of those things is an analogue delay, mainly for the ability to send everything crazy when I mess with the delay time knob.

I did a search, but couldn't see a thread listing analogue delay pedals, so can people throw either pedal suggestions or links to other delay threads at me?

I don't want anything complicated - I already have that in the EHXSMMWH, so I just want something fairly simple. The only feature I will specify is that I need to be able to make it go crazy with the delay time knob.

you could try the #1 echo from EHX it is digital but they claim it sounds analogue, tbh I don't know the sound difference but the #1 does sound well good.

MXR Carbon Copy. Simple controls, small footprint, analog, has modulation, relatively inexpensive, and can get crazy if needed.

+ a million. Great sounding analog delay, very small box.

The CC is VERY easy to self-oscillate.
I like old stuff; I have an Ibanez UE-405 rack multi w/among others, an analog delay w/the guts of an AD-9, IIRC. AWESOME warmth, real-time tweakability, fully wet blend=no dry signal- an odd feature, perhaps but something to consider.
Old DOD stuff often goes for less than $50 and also sounds sweet. The digital-but-it-doesn't-know-it Ibanez EM-5 is no longer a sleeper(I bought one for $20 last summer; they now go for over $150 on greedy-bay )but if you find one at a decent price I recommend it; it self-oscillates & has 3 internal trimpots to make it do weird things if that's what you like.

Lastly, there are some new pedals w/the word *analog* or *analog delay* in their name, but are completely digital(Artec, for one ).

the delay self-oscillation thread - with clips!
tap tempo AND good spaceship noises?
Try searching spelling analog the american way

[rratajski]

Yeah, Americans with our spellings..."Analog" or "Analog delay" will work. Good job dgelting on the digging!

Even though it's not true bypass, the Ibanez Analog Delay (AD-7) or the Maxon Analog Delay will suffice, although there's a large difference in price b/w the two. They are both the same color (purplish/maroonish/black raspberryish) as well as the same size. Both have wet and dry settings.

If you're into building pedals, the www.generalguitargadgets.com delay (PT80) is a replica of the Ibanez Analog Delay, but on a digital circuit. It swirls a bit more than the original, but I like it better. It also allows more cool feedback (repeats) control!

Ah! Cunning. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks! Looks like I've got some reading to do.

[irvinz]

skip the reading and get a malekko 600 dark!

For those that haven't seen this golden oldie... a comparison between the Ibanez and Maxon reissues: http://www.analogman.com/IbanezMaxonAD91.htm

homebrew mimic or diamond memory lane

Nice dig! Thanks! I enjoyed the reading.

On the last page, when the pick is made, the Maxon is chosen. There's mention of "no annoying clock noise" w/ it. What if we like the annoying clock noise?! hahaha

Try the Modtone Vintage Analog Delay:

Great value. My guitarist has one and it sounds awesome. Some videos on youtube with demos (on guitar tho)

[Alfie]

I love the look of the Dr Scientist stuff



But I don't know if they're any good. Style over substance all the way!

[kesslari]

I really like the old DoD 680. I should really keep that to myself so I can find one on Ebay...

[fishtx]

All of my guitar playing buddies are in love with the EH memory man deluxe i think it is...a bunch of them did a shootout a while back with it and the Diamond...and everyone of them liked the EH better...

That's a stylish pedal. Maybe I do need a delay after all...

[Babaluma]

i use a reissue maxon ad-9 and love it. i also have two blacet time machines, but they are modular synth based.

I thought the bright sounded better but then again I'm just going off clips, might need to get both for Tone Factor vids

Trying the DE-7 I bought tonight it's meant to be great for oscilation

[irvinz]

yeah. bright was a bit more 'clearer' to me. i like dark stuff, so hence in that direction. plus the dark has more headroom too if i remember right. =) i just bought a gibson ripper. i should start saving for other stuff, then eventually get one
