good delay??

BOSS Delays are awesome, but id checkout the guyatone digital delay, very, very good delay, no tone suck at all. if your pressed for money, i hear the ibanez delay is pretty good.

 

I've tried the Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay. If you need reverb too it is awesome, just a bit expensive. I think for the DD-3 Digi Delay it would be similar w/o reverb modes. Hope I was of help.

 

i was looking for a cheap delay that just got the job done recently too and i bought the ibanez delay/echo for abou 30 bucks used in excellent condition. It does get the job done, is cheap, easy to use, and doesnt eat your sound to much (i use a bypass box so i never did pay much attention to that). The sound is decent... IT CAN FEEDBACK ON ITSELF VERY EASY. thats what i love about it. crank the repeats up and hear the mecahnical feeback of your note come shredding through the speakers (use the level to control the volume so it doesnt fry your system) then i screw with the delay time to change the pitch of the feedback. so weird... so spacey. not very practical but very very fun. I use it sparingly like a normal delay but for the cost used it got the job done but if i was going to buy it new (around 80) i would get the cheaper boss delay (around 90) for a much better unit.

 

I have to give praise to the boss delay pedals. The DD3 is your basic delay. The DD5 added 1/2 a milisecond more delay time, and a reverse delay feature. Both are great pedals, and all ways for sale at online auctions. The tape delay pedals (analog) are slightly warmer sounding and when tweaked mid phrase can really give you a neat effect. I would put my money on a boss Digital Delay over a tape delay. I dont think digital sound is very defferent from analog.

Have fun
