Members gambit Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 rather than just posting clips and talking about the pedals, i thought it would be fun to listen to all 5 clips and rate them, or take pot guesses at which pedal is which. so, the pedals are set to pretty similar delay times and number of repeats and you should be able to hear the tail off at the end of the clip for how the delays fade out. The pedals are:Boss DD-5Headrush NormalHeadrush TapeDE-7SIB Mr EchoMarshall EchoheadBoss DM-2 If you can rate them on which you think sounds best - something like:1 - A (Best)2 - C3 - Getc8 - D (Worst) take a punt if you think you can match the pedal to the clip straight away, but I'll name the corresponding clips and pedals later! Dry GuitarDelay ADelay BDelay CDelay DDelay EDelay FDelay GDelay H this could be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Urinate Forever Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 no one is going to download all of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bowlingshirt Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 There are 2 "Delay F" on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 would people download one big 3 minute clip? or do you think nobody will generally care? the above clips are like 20 seconds each.. mp3's.. tiny 600kb files or something..

Members Macdaddy Music Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Great idea - I don't have time to do this at the moment, but love the idea and I'll probably take time to download them at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky Chowder Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 would people download one big 3 minute clip? or do you think nobody will generally care? You could make a Soundclick account and post them there so people can stream them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uma Floresta Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 While I hate to agree with the urine drinker up there, this would be better if it were direct links to mp3s that just play in your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good compromise - it's not that we're too lazy to download - but we are too lazy to download 8 files or whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goominim Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 It took me a minute to download all of them. I love it. I'll probably spend the whole night ranking these delays. Shut up you lazy mother{censored}ers. It probably took the same amount of time for you to type your little rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bt2513 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 No problems here at all... The clips sound great!! Haven't listened to them all yet.. you don't need to register for an account folks... just click download and open it in Windows Media Player. So far I like A the best..

Members Goominim Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 At first glance: A & F have 'plex like trails. C is a keeper, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members star0nfire Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 Funny, A, F and C are among the 4 delays I liked less. Here's how I'd rank them: 1 - G 2 - H 3 - E 4 - B 5 - F 6 - C 7 - D 8 - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thatmullingskid Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 i sort of like them all except for one or two that sounded a bit sterile... but i'm too lazy to go back and listen through to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 I think if a digidelay was added to this test people would be surprised at how it ranks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 I just jotted them down as I listened, so I may have a different opinion, given another listen, but it'd be a little time consuming. H, E, and A were my favorites. G was my least favorite. The ones in between may would rank higher or lower given some more intensive listening, but those were the ones that really struck me, on a first impression. Seems like the parameters were somewhat different on some of them, though. Some had more/less repeats than others, seemed like the delay time may have been a little longer or shorter from sample to sample too, so it's kind of hard to make a fair comparison, without all things being equal besides the pedal itself. Is it the pedal making one sound nicer than the other, or the length/number of repeats, for example. H,E, and A sound really nice to me though, and G sounded kind of harsh. Cool experiment, none the less, even if not 100% valid. Could you pm what they were to those of us who have already voted? I'm pretty curious about what I picked.

Members SpectralJulian Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 H sounds like there is something else going on. H, C, G, and F were the best- they each seem to have those subtle harmonics that make me D and E were middle of the pack- a bit too dark- cutting out those beautiful harmonics that some echoes have. A and B were the worst. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I think A, B, and G are definitely digital delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A and B are trying to cop tape and analog simulation respectively. i may have gone overkill with the high end roll off on the D and E clips.. maybe trying too hard to make them sound analog! before i post the names against the samples - there's only one true analog pedal amongst the clips and nobodies rated it highest so far.
