Looking for a good delay...suggestions?

[iri5h_punk21]

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a really good delay pedal. I wan't something that does the typical settings well, but I also want something that will allow me to play with heavy oscillations. Suggest away!

try the behringer VM1 vintage time machine, you get some great vintage delay sounds and some oscillations too. plus it has chorus and vibrato too

Awesome I'll have to check that out

Try an old analog delay if you can find one- there are also a few digital pedals that behave very much like analog in the oscillation & lo-fi tone. I have an Ibanez Soundtank EM-5, DOD FX91 & Subdecay Proto Echobox; all digital, all very nice tonally & can SO like crazy. I also have a Maxon-built Ibanez UE-405 w/analog delay, chorus, para EQ & compressor, for true analog sweetness.

Great suggestions guys, keep em comin! Aside from some of the ones mentioned here I've also had my eye on DMB's Lunar Echo which I think is kinda cool cause of it's Take Off switch. I was also kinda eyeing the Malekko Dark Analog Delay, even though it's kinda stripped down i liked the tone.

Any one have any experience with these? If not, keep suggesting away!

Anyone?

I'm looking for something that can do (in addition to standard delay) what the bass does at 2:11. is this delay or something else?

The bass sounds more like a tremolo effect to me, not a delay. I could be wrong, though.

As for a great delay, if you are looking for something that can do standard and more creative delays (modulation, filter, etc.) check out the Eventide Timefactor. It's somewhat expensive, but does a lot of cool things, in a way kind of a multieffects pedal of sorts. If you are looking cheaper, Boss DD-3, sounds amazing! For a little more money, the Boss DD-7 has tap tempo, mod delay, a 40 sec looper, etc. Great pedal. Hope this helps.

Thanks radksa, I didn't even stop to think that it could be a tremelo, but that actually makes a lot of sense.

I would suggest getting a cheap or mid-grade delay, and then research your other options for oscillation.

For any and all things oscillating check out 4ms.

**warning, not for the effects newb. (and way beyond my comprehension)

I don't consider my self an effects newb...but my god..

The Boss Gigadelay DD-20 ($150-$170) is to me the most versatile. It's a twin pedal so it takes up space but if you have a big board who cares. I also have a dd-5 ($40-$70) I keep around as a back up that appears on here (A LOT) as the consummate delay pedal. Criagslist or the TB classifieds are two good places to start.

haha. that was pretty much my reaction too. I was chatting with the waitress at a coffeehouse gig, telling her that I started building my own pedals (very, very simple ones. Like a single knob boost). She said "oh my husband does that, he started with small stuff, now he makes a little more complicated ones."

She wrote down the website and that's when I first discovered 4ms. I had to watch the video clips just to figure out what some of them do!

i recommend a BOSS RE-20
the most analog sounding pedal that you can get with a digital delay.
It also can oscillate when you up the intensity

Take a look at the EHX Deluxe Memory Boy. Great set of features in a pretty cheap delay. Tap tempo, expression input, effect loop, modulation, there's a lot you can do with that thing.
