Favorite delay pedal

It's been awhile since I've tried some of the newer digital delay pedals, like the Strymon, but I will say that the regular old Boss Digital delay, whether the $180 grey stompbox (DD7?) or the Gigadelay, which I have, they're always clean sounding and effective. I've never really liked analog delay for bass as much, because they all tend to sound a bit dark, and I like the echoes to get brighter. I actually use a Roland Space Echo for most of my delay when I can, but the Gigadelay is handy for saving multiple settings at different bpm's. Tape delay for bass is really where it's at though, if you use delay on bass more than occasionally.
