Members erksin Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 CC sounds like poo, IMO - I'd get an E600B or an AR20DL/XL off the emporiums (I've played both - the AM is a little more clear sounding). I want to try a 616 pretty bad - the clips sound fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted March 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 The 600b is looking the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members downer01 Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Anyone try those cheap analog delays on eBay, like the Johnson, Belcat, Biyang, etc... ??? I bought an Artec delay off ebay one time. I don't remember if it was analog or not. (I think it claimed to be) but it wasn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 MemoryBoy might give you some trouble with the delay time, but it's probably your best bet for an awesome budget analog delay. I never really liked the Carbon Copy. The De-7 has a glorious sounding echo mode, no modulation, but it sounds great. But srsly, dump that {censored} and just get an Empress btw, will you be flipping the de7? I may be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members erksin Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 The 600b is looking the best option. The repeats are really cool if you're into the more spacey decays. If you want more definition and not so much degradation, go for the AR20DL/XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 btw, will you be flipping the de7? I may be interested. Maybe, between the band we have 3, so I might not keep it, it is a GREAT delay pedal, I love it. But I would also like a DOD 250, so hopefully I can flip the DE-7 for some DOD cash.

Members WWW Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 I've yet to own any of the malekko's, but I'd like to. Carbon copy is a good pedal but has some "clock noise" or whatever. Sounds like white noise. The memory boy kills the carbon copy, and you can get longer delay times out of it with an exp pedal, but it's almost as big as the retro sonic.

If you want more definition and not so much degradation, go for the AR20DL/XL. Degradation is my middle name, son. How much delay time is available on the Analog Man? I wish it wasn't so damn ugly.

Members WWW Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Anybody who thinks the CC is a great sounding analog delay has never played a great one, IMO. @me? For the record I said good. It (CC) worked well with my setup, just couldn't get past the noise. I've played plenty of great analog delays. I currently use a diamond ml2, and I'll probably never need another. The retro sonic is one of my favorites and makes me think this thread is a bit counter-intuitive (SP?). Loobs, if you like degrading repeats, you should at least try to demo a memory boy with an exp pedal set to delay time. It's neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 I would try the Memory Boy if you can't find used 600B. The inconsistency is the knock on the Boy/Toy - although I haven't heard too many negative things recently. I think my Toy is decent overall, I like it at least as much as my CC I had, probably more even. My delay time is quite good, does not oscillate. If I could afford one, I'd get the ML2. That sounds so good in clips I've heard, but it's too big for your needs, and pricey. So yeah, try the Boy. Maybe demo one out live before you purchase?

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 IMO, the E600B is quite possibly the best small format analog delay ever made. Lots of delay time available, and just the perfect tone for my tastes... a great balance of detail and clarity and then progressive degradation as the repeats ring out. Waaaay better than the CC IMHO. From your list, I'd say 616, no contest. However, if you can find a used E600B... :phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Musickbox Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 DE7.. not analog, but it sounds so damn good. You can't go wrong with the Malekko delays. Great for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members who235 Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 You can probably get 3 of them for $100 and I still think they sound better than most delays out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gonkboy Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Even though Behringer haven't been very helpful to me in getting some of their pedals I've read great things about the VD400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
