Members Bricks & Bones Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 What exactly is it? I've been thinking about ordering a Skrecho, but then this evening I might have found a DM-2 for a good price.Of cause, it doesn't have modulation. Truth is, I don't even know what exactly creates the modulation on delays that have it.Is it phaser, chorus, vibrato? Something else?I'm thinking I might pick up a nice small form-factor mod pedal that i can put into a clean blend loop with the DM-2 and have the best of both worlds...

Members ispunk Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 It's usually chorus or vibrato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gae86 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 yep chorus or vibrato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bricks & Bones Posted June 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well I do like vibrato.Now I need to find a VB-2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gae86 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 the thing is, how you can simulate a modulated delay, without a delay with fx loop?is there a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lanefair Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 the thing is, how you can simulate a modulated delay, without a delay with fx loop?is there a way? Split your signal, one signal into a mixer, other into a 100% wet delay into modulation into mixer. Or get someone to turn the time knob on your delay pedal slowly back and forth.

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 I think it tends to be an LFO that actually modulates the delay time, rather than an effect. So it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9520575 Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 a chorus is basically a modulated delay. With a very low delay time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boytbpc Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 a chorus is basically a modulated delay. With a very low delay time and a flanger is just a modulated delary with a lower delay time, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite so simple. Modulated delays leave your direct signal alone and only apply the modulation effect (usually sounds like a chorus, but can be tweaked to create pitch vibrato in some cases) to the delay repeats. On a delay with separate wet and dry outputs (like the DM-3, but not the DM-2) you could apply effects to the wet output separately, which obviously opens up the possibility of much more than just modulated delay too. Unless you run two amps you'd still need to find a way to re-combine the wet and dry signals at some point though, not to mention having pedals dedicated to a signal path that might not be passing signal when the delay pedal is turned off. Do you even *need* modulation? It does add to the possibilities for weirdness, makes for richer sounding delay repeats and a more synthy sound to "pad" type sounds, but it can easily sound very dated and cheesy in the same way chorus does.

Members King Rat Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a delay with phaser on the reps and one with chorus as 2/3 presets on my DL4.. Really digging phaser repeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bricks & Bones Posted June 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah I realise having mod after delay isn't the same as a delay with mod, but I figured if I put both effects into a loop with a clean blend I could get an approximation.I was messing around with a DD-7 today and both the Analog and Modulation modes were a lot of fun.

I guess, but by the same token if you have a modulation pedal in your chain anyway, why not just use that? Yes, there's going to be some difference between having the modulation before the delay and after, but both ways are equally far removed from a proper modulated delay.

Members Bricks & Bones Posted June 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 DM-2 deal fell through.Back to the Skrecho... Anyone here prefer it to the El Cap, or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
