Aside from the self oscillation, is this a good delay?

[onyxrhino]

yes, it is.

[timme_v]

bang for buck, better than the carbon copy for ambient styles?

[Brujo13]

i love mine, when it works, great for ambient but its kinda hard to dial in a subtle sound

[onyxrhino]

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.

[timme_v]

"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.

[Brujo13]

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

[Brian Marshall]

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.

[timme_v]

ok so.. most ambient delay for less than $150.

[t-rey]

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.

[kismet78]

Love the DE7. For so cheap, its an obvious staple for the stable.

[BHz_econo]

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.

[bushido]

the DE-7 is a great delay pedal. better than a lot of boutique stuff i've tried.

[janimarj]

My old bandmate had/has one, it's a great-sounding pedal!

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. :thu:

[light years]

It's an awesome delay. It holds its own with my BBDMM. Both of them on together is BIG SONIC HEAVEN :love::love::love: :lol::lol::lol:

[timme_v]

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.

[DL2]

Idk how old mine is, but the switch looks really small and dinky. :idk:

I've seen some cool mods that fix that though. :thu:

[amarr1]

echo d said they fixed the switch.

[claytonjohn18]

I've used one. Nothing wrong with it.
