Great Affordable Reverse Delay?

[Ritter667]

I need a cheap but great reverse delay pedal.

I really like the model included in the old Zoom multi effects, B1Xon/MS-70CDR e.t.c, but would like a stand alone.

Some reverse delays I heard are really bad, I need one that sounds great and actually does reverse your playing with a delay, and preferably up to 2sec of delay time and tap tempo, more parameters to adjust is a plus.

The ones in the HX One are fun and work well.

"Reverse delay"? So it plays the line before you do?

Pick up a Walrus Mako D1, specifically the Version 2 (not Mk.II) as the firmware can be updated and sounds fantastic. Reverse delay among the usual (and Dual), lots of cool options between shaping the tone of the repeats and the Attack knob which is a ducking effect where the repeats only come in when the signal is below a certain threshold.

It’s an absolute steal consider the quality and features.

The TCE Nova delay, based on their 2290 rack unit (although not as fully featured as the newer pedal, it’s smaller) has a great reverse delay. It’s not new, but they come up used pretty frequently. It needs 12V, which might be awkward for some, but it’s a great pedal from the good ol’ days of TCE.

Edit: I just checked on Reverb, and there are a few around, but they must have earned vintage status or something, because the prices are pretty steep.

TC Electronics Flashback has a very nice reverse delay.

The ancient rackmount Roland DEP -5s and maybe the DEP-3s did this very well and are cheap these days but it takes a little tweaking to dial in the sound especially getting the blend right between delay and dry.

Marshall echo head has a decent reverse delay with tap tempo ( with an added switch)
Super easy to find and normally reasonably cheap

Walrus fundamental delay

Haven't tried on bass but various DOD/Digitech delays'll do it, including the Hardwire.

The Danelectro Back Talk is the best one I have found.

My Boss DD-5 does the trick better than most and they are under $100. DD-6 has a reverse algorithm too.

I have a Deadbeat Echolation Station that I like. It's a multi-delay pedal which is nice. I haven't played around with the reverse delay, but I like the rest of the delays it has (tape echo, analog, etc.) so I think it'd be worth checking out. You can find one used for $100-200.

JHS Flight Delay does reverse.
