Members mfc_pj Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 I have the chance to buy one. It's never been used, new in box with everything for 150$. Has someone experiences with this pedal? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Speeddemon Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's an excellent price. Paid $200 for mine (with box, manual and stickers). The cool thing about this delay is that when you INcrease the delaytime, you'll DEcrease the frequency range. = Longer delays sound mellower/warmer. It's mentioned in the manual as well.

Members mfc_pj Posted May 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 sounds good...maybe there are some soundclips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoneStarGuitar Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 i bought one of them back in spring of 2001 for about 50 bucks. nice delay for that prioce, and for even 100. IMO, not worth a whole lot more, aside from the fact it is an analog delay, and I do not believe MXR made a whole lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrSage Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's a great price for it, especially in excellent condition. Does it have an LED indicator or not? If not, then it's even more of a collector's item and you should buy it to re-sell on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Speeddemon Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 I forgot to mention, mine's indeed the no-LED version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mfc_pj Posted May 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 need more advise....I'm using a line6 dl-4 at the moment, should i get it anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danceatron Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 It's a great delay. I have one as well as a space echo and a Moog delay and I would never consider selling it. At that price you can always sell it and at least get your money back or probably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gregovertone Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 get it anyways. they tend to lean on the noisy side. small price to pay for awesome delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Cheapo Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think it's an excellent delay for doubling, slapback delay and the like. It also thickens your sound in interesting ways and does some excellent self occilation. Long delays are not its thing, don't expect that. I use it before another delay, eith a DMM or something digital set to longer delays. Also, I have had mine (non-led version) since 1980 and it has *never* failed. Rock solid.

Members StratAtak83 Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 I have one ... but it doesn't work properly.. just creates a cyclical hum when turn on ... its the non-led model in pretty good condition . Any ideas what it could be , or anyone want to take a shot at fixing/buying it .. lemme know .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hbar Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 The BBD chip in that will die eventually (I know this firsthand), but I have no idea what the life expectancy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it to Howard Davis.He brought one of my vintage analog delays back to life, and there are few other people I would trust as much as him to work on a pedal like that.

I was serious about wanting to give the shop a call if you don't buy it...It's flown under the radar for now, but there's no telling when someone will decide to grab it!!

Members StratAtak83 Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 Man o Man .. howard davis = excellent service .. mxr analog delay = best analog delay i've tried .. this thing is warm , its like butter to my ears.. no noise/bypass issues. with low mix settings it fattens up my clean tone on my sf deluxe reverb , and it oscillates beautifully .. THis is truly the king .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One shop in brooklyn seemed more interested in getting the pedal for themselves, than fixing it . oh and thanks mrsage, for recommending him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
