Members timme_v Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 Aside from the self oscillation, is this a good delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members timme_v Posted August 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 bang for buck, better than the carbon copy for ambient styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brujo13 Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 i love mine, when it works, great for ambient but its kinda hard to dial in a subtle sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 bang for buck, better than the carbon copy for ambient styles? I'm probably the wrong guy to ask (I'm not a huge "delay guy", and I've never really seen the advantages of an analog delay), but with the repeats set low, the feedback and delay time pushed high and set on "echo", the ambience sounds really damn good to my ears.

Members timme_v Posted August 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 "when it works"? Do you have physical problems with it? Or can it just be hard to dial in a good sound? I'm not really concerned about analog vs digital either. Just want a nice sounding delay without the bells and whistles. The DE7 seems like the cheaper option, but all I ever hear about it is the self oscillation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brujo13 Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 it wont work with a adapter, so i gotta use batteries and when the get a lil drained the light goes off but the pedal remains engaged and i cant tunr it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Marshall Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 switches on some of the older tonelok pedals are very very shoddy. I bought a bunch the first few years they were out and on every one of them the switches are questionable at best. It helps if you stomp really really hard I've heard that the newer ones work much better, but don't have much experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timme_v Posted August 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 ok so.. most ambient delay for less than $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t-rey Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's a solid delay. I always thought the Carbon Copy was probably better for ambiance - but overall I think that the DE7 is a better all around delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kismet78 Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 Love the DE7. For so cheap, its an obvious staple for the stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BHz_econo Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 I did not like the CC at all. The CC could get nowhere as lush or nice as the DE-7 on echo. I was ready to flip my CC within the first day. I forced myself to come back to it later but still the DE-7 and the Memory Toy for that matter walk all over it for ambient self-oscillating dreamscape stuff. DE-7 on echo is a thing of beauty.

Members bushido Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 the DE-7 is a great delay pedal. better than a lot of boutique stuff i've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janimarj Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 My old bandmate had/has one, it's a great-sounding pedal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DL2 Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 I just bought mine a few days ago for 30 bucks, and it's definitely the best pedal I will ever buy for that cheap. I haven't tried too many delays but this one is pretty damn great. I've heard the switch can be a bitch but I haven't had any troubles yet. It can definitely do some great ambient stuff when you crank up that repeat knob. Overall, it's the most surprising pedal I've ever owned, because I expected much less for what I bought it for. It pretty much blew me out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members light years Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's an awesome delay. It holds its own with my BBDMM. Both of them on together is BIG SONIC HEAVEN :love::lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timme_v Posted August 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2010 Love the reviews, although the clips on youtube are pretty crappy. How is the switch on this thing now? People say it is junk, but that was a few years back.. I will be gigging on it ALOT so I need it to be able to hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DL2 Posted August 11, 2010 Members Share Posted August 11, 2010 Idk how old mine is, but the switch looks really small and dinky. I've seen some cool mods that fix that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members claytonjohn18 Posted August 11, 2010 Members Share Posted August 11, 2010 I've used one. Nothing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coma Larkin Posted August 11, 2010 Members Share Posted August 11, 2010 I use two of them. It's my desert island pedal, I think. Both switches are fine, although I daydream about having them Drasp'ed w/ those sturdier looking switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
