Sign in to disble this ad
Hey,
So I got this band that plays 80's Cure/David bowie kinda stuff...
(Not my cup of tea, but it should pay nice), and... I think I need a delay pedal.
I've never used a delay pedal on bass, only on guitar.
I'm looking for something with a tap tempo on the same pedal (like the dd-6 and 7).
Having both analog and digital tone would be nice.
Looking for a small pedal (boss size is ok).
Less then $100 used.
What do you think? |

it has both analog and digital modes, and a socket for a tap tempo switch.
i made my switch and it cost me about £10.
retail price in the UK is £65, but i'm not sure about s/h value or us price though (perhaps $99? new)

Seriously, just do it, man... |

So far it looks like promising to:
DD-6/7
Echo park
Digitech hardwire delay
What would you chose and why, any other suggestions? |

Trying to find any of these used for under $100 might be a little hard, minus the Line 6...
The looper function on the Digi does put it ahead of the others in the bells and whistles category...
Line 6's modulated delays IMO are amazing, esp the sweep effect.
Boss is time-tested and mother-approved...
Each has its pros and cons....

So far the line6 looks about right, I'll try and borrow the DD6 from a band member, see if I like it. |

I love it. Great sounds and the tap tempo and looper are great extras. |

My g****rist has the Maxon version. VERY nice pedal. Shame he can't sell it haha. Tre expensive! |

Arguably the delay the Carbon Copy is intended to sound like (I have no idea about the circuit) - dark as the deepest echoplex dub track. Classic and often pops up at a really appealing price. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
