Am I going to hell for using too much delay?

No such thing if used as instrument itself. Delay as a "spice-em-up" rarely appeals to me....

 

 

This is the main reason you need at least two, one delay to spice things up, and another to use as its own instrument. Bare minimum.

Yep, looks like this:

It's okay...but a little on the muddy side with my Les Paul. I used it a bunch while I was waiting for my Memory Lane. It'd prob sound pretty good with your single coil guitars. :wave:

I use a lot of delay until I hear what it sounds like recorded. Then I turn the delay down. Even if the first repeat is at 30% of the volume it can be a little overwhelming and make your playing really lose definition. I think going stereo will solve the problem for me. Clean on the right, wet on the left.

Delay sounds amazing live though.

Okay, so what do people think is a good delay setting to "spice things up" and leave on most of the time?

 

 

Slapback for sure. You pretty much want to use it for a reverb feel. Ambient delay bugs the hell out of me after a while, i keep having to turn it down and down. At least if it's slapback, it's more like a reverb effect.
