Love the tone of the boss space echo emulation. Somewhat noisy, but I wonder if it's my pedal power supply... But the grainy echo sound it has is just what I like

Your favourite delay

I have two that a favor right now. A carbon copy - small easy to use, sounds great, a classic.
And I have a Hard Wire DL-8. Lots of options, sounds good, has tap tempo, stereo ins and outs. Built pretty solid from what I can tell.

I like my TC Nova Repeater - wide variety of delay tones, tap tempo, easy to use, and not too daunting of a footprint. My only complaint would be its somewhat annoying power requirement.
Why not? i've messed around with it in the store once, but not long enough to really know if it's any good. Couldn't hear anything wrong with it on bass...
My favourites (GAS-list):- SolidgoldFX Electroman - Features: "Warp" to drive it into self-oscillation at your command; FX loop so you can affect only the repeats with filter, ring-mod, another delay... whatever you like
- Empress Superdelay (*unpainted finish) - Great SNR, long delays, tap, multitap rhythms, reverse, gate, 11 second looper, expression pedal input, HPF, LPF, presets and more
- Diamond Memory Lane Jr - Tap tempo with various subdivisions, modulation, selectable true-bypass or buffered, delay trails, 9v
What I have:Line 6 M5
Korg Toneworks 301 dl Dynamic Echo
Korg Toneworks AX1-B MFX
and a Zoom guitar mfx buried in storage somewhere
One more vote for the DL-8, which has survived a long list of other delays that I have had. Low-fi mode sounds great, trails, reverse, modulated, and the mentioned 8s mode.
The other one I kept is the Capistan. I'm not on the Strymon fan club, but this pedal is a modern classic IMO. The sound on sound looper is such a fun extra feature!

Please post review of it when you get it. I've been dying to find out how it holds up on bass, but i can't find a decent review...
Surprised there's not more love for the Carbon Copy. Picked one up last week and its already earned a permanent spot on my board. Smooth, warm analog delay with a nifty adjustable modulation switch. It even oscillates great and is pretty simple to control.
The only negative thing I can think of at this point is that the pedal can drive into self-oscillation a bit too easily depending on how you have your settings. All comes down to finding a combo that works but if you're not careful, it can get a bit wild.

Carbon copy is a great pedal!! maybe it's the lack of versitality and taptempo that has kept people from mentioning it? (Just guessing here...)
I assembled my own delay pedal from a DeProfundis pcb from Grindcustoms effects and a tap tempo board from JMKpcb. Great little delay that works well on guitar or bass.
