Hey guys Ive recently wrote a song with my band and have written a sweet bassline and I think it would sound really good with delay, what is a good delay for bass and at a good price? Cheers  |

Not the mostest boutiquest, but does the simple digital delay thing perfectly fine, stereo panning effects stuff, and has a good analogue delay simulation. Also has modulated (chorus) delay and tap tempo. And it has a looping function. You can use an expression pedal to control some parameters.
Plus it's a Boss so it's as reliable as a hammer, and affordable...

I'm pretty sure the MXR ovtave deluxe has a dry mix knob and gets great reviews. I love my MXR carbon copy so much I won't even hesitate to get the MXR octave when that time comes.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Milwaukee, WI | | | there are a few types of delay so you should think which features are you interested in.
digital delay is usually clean and transparent, simple "cold" repeats.
analog delay is "warm", muddy repeats.
there can be modulation on repeats, chorus or vibrato.
reverse delay is another popular thing.
i have analog delay with modulation (Subdecay Echobox) which is very good for solo parts with distortion and can make very crazy sounds as well. i also going to get digital delay (TC Nova Repeater) for clean delay sound and reverse delay. |

Do you need Tap Tempo? True Bypass? Trailing repeats that echo shortly after the pedal is bypassed? Use websites like proguitarshop.com, pedalgeek.com, etc. to window shop different pedals.
Delay pedals aren't usually specific to bass or guitar. All you have to worry about is the signal strength of your bass being strong enough to create distorted repeats with some analog delay pedals.

I like both analog and digital delays, but to avoid the distortion I'm going digital. Thinking of getting either a Japanese Boss DD-3 or a TC Nova Delay.
