using 2 delays? parallel? or series? what appeals to you more?

[eonblue222]

im having a hard time figuring this out. i want to try parallel delays. i have a line 6dl4 and a pod xt live with a stereo rig setup, how could i achieve parallel delays?

Stereo delay summed to mono instead of stereo. Done.

[cantoXIII]

always parallel.

 

people would open a lot of doors musically for themselves if they just ran more pedals in parallel. blending fuzz/low-octave is destructive,.

[triviani]

 

I don't have 2 delays, so neither

 

 

You need another delay!

[ateah]

Using 2 delays? wrong...use 4.

 

helll yesss...

I got slapback from the polychorus, dd-3 at the beginning of the chain re-20 going to one amp and the multiplay to another.

 

sounds amazing.

[Faldoe]

I've been limited to series but I've been intrigued by parallel and I think I can get a LS-2 for pretty cheap so we'll see.

[burntumbers]

I have 8 different delays. and a Korg AX1g with delay/loop stuff. and a space station that has weirdo reverse delays.

 

so I'm wondering what I can do with them all.

 

Boss DM2

RE20

DD20

Digitech PDS1002

Ibanez DDL

Echo park

Dano Reel echo

Dano PB&J

 

the DM2 and PB&J have mono outs

the Ibanez, Digitech and Reel echo have 2 outs, but one is dry signal

RE20, DD20, Echo park are 2 in, 2 out

 

also and RC20. mic in, instrument in, mono out.

[light years]

I just use a DMM after a DE-7.

[FZRJunkie]

1. slapback and a half, in front

2. a few subtle repeats, in the loop

I read this post yesterday and was thinking about it all day. Never tried parallel before and was inspired/intrigued, so today I hooked it up:

 

Gtr ->

Diamond Comp ->

LS-2 -(A)-> DD-3

LS-2 -(B)-> Carbon Copy

LS-2 ->

Analogman Chorus ->

Amp

 

 

Messed around with various settings for awhile, then put their delay repeats at the same speed and went with the A+B blend. Then time just kinda stopped....

 

Three hours later, I'm still loving it.

 

Hey, I learned something from the forum today! Sweet....ok, I'm gonna go play some more. Thanks guys!

thats a lot of ls-2s ..

 

[RoboPimp]

yo dog I heard you like delays so I put a delay in the delay of your delay so you can delay while you delay

[MeanGeneBravo]

heh....you know what I mean

[sabriel9v]

Series and parallel delays Is that running two at the same time or something? I use a DMM for rhythm work and DE-7 for leads, but rarely both at the same time.

[iToms]

Parallel for me! I find things get out of hand pretty fast with series (though it can be really fun). After boosters/OD I run into a Memory Lane 2 and send its delay only output to a Dano Drive, then a Peavey Classic 50. Sometimes I run a pitch shifter (1 octave up, 75% wet) in the loop of the ML2. The direct signal then goes to a Halo Chorus, then a Timefactor, then a Blues Classic or Blues Junior. I really like the sound because the first delay gets a totally different voice than the main signal. Also it lets me use the modulation on the Memory Lane without it ever interacting with other chorus effects. Mmmmm...good!

[ChuckNorris1982]

I find the key to running them in series is keeping the feedback on one of them really low, like two or three repeats max.

[BTBAM]

I like both, depends on what I'm doing. I have some parallel delays set up in the time factor, but I also use the timefactor with another delay and run in series. It all depends on what sound I'm wanting to go for.

[SirBlend12]

I enjoy delaying my delay lol. Run them in series with different times set and get two different echoes out of the dry signal, and then the 2nd delay delays the delay of the first. Lovely.

Wait, wait, wait. Learning something from HCFX and then actually playing guitar? That's not acceptable, man. Put the guitar down and get back to buying stuff and posting about it.
