Delay with Feedback AND Time Expression pedals?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've only found 2:

-The keeley modded AD9 is too short (330 ms)
-The Moog is very expensive especially with 2 exp pedals

Does anyone know of any more delays, stock or modded, that allow 1 expression pedal to control delay time and a 2nd to control feedback? This is my dream effect!

from the boss re-20 manual:

"You can control the following functions with an expression pedal (Roland EV-5; sold
separately) connected to the EXP PEDAL jack on the rear panel.
REPEAT RATE:
The echo interval becomes shorter as the toe of the expression
pedal is pressed further.
In Long mode, the range for the Repeat Rate setting is twice that of
Normal mode.
INTENSITY:
The Intensity increases as the toe of the expression pedal is pressed
further, increasing the volume of the echo repeat sound (the
feedback volume).
ECHO LEVEL:
This controls the level input to the echo. The volume of the echo
sounds increases as the toe of the expression pedal is pressed further.
* This function can be controlled only with an expression pedal.
* The input level to the reverb is not changed.
TWIST:
Repeat Rate and Intensity are controlled simultaneously.
In addition, this controls the ECHO VOLUME according to the
echo level.
As you further press down on the toe of the expression pedal, the
echo sound starts to oscillate, then the oscillation rate increases
and the pitch of the oscillation sound rises. "

Probably not going to help if you are after lower priced pedals but the dude from Empress will mod a Super Delay to have expression control for both feedback and rate.

It comes stock with one expression jack that can switched between blend and rate.

I have a DL-4. It doesn't have 2 expression pedal inputs. It has 1 that allows you to morph between 2 settings. I want to be able to control the time with one pedal, and the feedback with another pedal- at the same time.

I already have the Empress trem. Great quality pedal. That delay is pricy though.

OK. I misunderstood. I thought that you want to control them simultaneously. DL4 can do that with one expression pedal.

I want to control time and feedback independently. I want to be able to crank up the feed back into a wash of noise and them warp the sound with the time control and still have control of the feedback so I can back it off before I blow up my amp and speakers.

Any effect with analog pots can be modded to control any of its parameters with an expression pedal. An expression pedal is just a pot with a conveniently foot-shaped attachment.

So, pick any delay you like*, and either mod it (simple) or pay someone to do it.

*Again, it has to have analog pots, rather than digital encoders, so that rules out some digital effects.

The only delay pedal I have ever seen that has more than 1 exp. jack is the moog. I'm sure someone could mod any other analog delay to do the same thing. But, out of the box, the moog is the only one I know of.

AnalogMan will Mod a DD-3 or DD-6/7 for you with whatever expression jacks you want.

Since you want to play with feedback and oscillation, you likely want an analog delay anyway. This is convenient, because any analog delay can be modded in this way, and probably most digital ones can as well. I've never modded anything digital before, so I don't know specifics. I would guess that nearly any delay pedal you can think of could be modded.

Does anyone know if there are any digital tap tempo delays with an expression option for delay time that would sound any good without getting glitchy? Hope this makes sense.

I'm looking at the Eventide if that helps at all.

the timefactor is a quality delay. it doesnt get crazy and warped when you fiddle with delay time and feedback- if thats what you mean by glitchy.
