Recommend me a delay pedal to match well with my DMM...

Looking to get more creative with the noise I create so figured the first thing to do would be to get a second delay pedal. What has everyone found that matches best with the DMM? I was thinking a Dl4 or a disaster transport....What other pedals would you recommend for some spacey, ambient sounds?

I know this is starting to sound like a tired joke... But RV3. I just love the combonation.

Probably something digital would work best. The Nova looks pretty tasty. I've always had problems wiht Line 6. DT, well. I've never heard them stacked, it might be good - lots of modulation.

I've heard that before...why would a digital and analog combo. be better than a analog/analog combo.? If I went digital I would def. pick up a dl4, disaster transport, or an eventide time factor, analog I'm leaning towards the carbon copy.

Well, in my case the DMM is a huge part of my overall tone. I don't want anything else coloring the signal after the DMM.

 

Depending on the analog delay, it will have it's own sonic character on the repeats. When you feed that into the DMM you will have the charcter of the first delay repeated by the DMM. Digital delays only spit out delayed portions of what you put in, and that's what I like about them. Very little sonic coloration.

 

I guess it's just a matter of taste, as usual.

No man. It totally makes since. Convincing me to go with a digital actually. So you put your digital delay right before your DMM? I couldn't quite grasp what you were saying about the signal of the digital going into the DMM though... Do you set the digital for long delays and the DMM for short? And do you have them out at the same time often? I wonder how crazy that sounds!!? The DMM is a huge part of my sound as well. Thanks again.

Yeah, I have the RV3 first and set it to longer repeats than the DMM. Most here tend to prefer short delays > long delays, but I think this is more interesting. You get the initial string pluck, then DMM, the RV3 (without modulation), then DMMs repeat of guitar, then DMMs repeat of the RV3 delay putting modulation on it... and so on. It's like a triple tap delay.

 

I don't notice the lack of warmth from the RV3 because of the DMM.

 

I'd say the pair are on about half the time, other half is just DMM, and there's maybe a couple songs without delay that are heavier distortion.

I guess I will have to hear it..haha. Its hard to visualize that. Do you have the DMM osscilating?
