Name a decent analog delay pedal that won't break the bank

SIB Mr. Echo is a good analog simulation. I have a Dan Echo also and I like the SIB significantly more. Arion SAD-1 pop up occasionally or the EM-5. And AD-99 can be had for a little over $100.

I already know about the Dano Dan-Echo. Are there any others?

 

 

It's a good pedal but is not analog. Are you after a true analog pedal or a digital one voiced like analog?

BYOC ?

 

 

Is that analog or digital? I guess it has an analog characteristic. I'd be interested in hearing from folks who have the BYOC delay, and how it compares.

Either one, I guess...as long as it doesn't sound sterile like those Boss DD-3, DD-5 or DD-6 delays.

Then definitely check out the Dan-echo, nice sound, heavyweight and looks dang cool!

Find a used Boss DM-3... $150 or less depending on the condition.. you'll never regret it. I've had mine for like 5 years now and it's still one of my favorites. And i didn't even like delay at the time i got it

Ibanez ADL, CD-10 sometimes go cheaply.


I have an old Washburn analog delay that doesn't sound any different from my Boss DM-2.

 

 

Ibanez AD9 reissue - $140

EHX Memory Man - $170

DOD FX96 (gotta buy it used)

Rocktron Short Timer- Analog voiced for $55. Best. Value. Ever.

 

Rockson Analog Delay- find them on ebay for $60ish, true analog but not the best built pedal ever.

 

Tokai TDL-1 clean analog delay, sounds great but not so easy t find, sell for a lot less than Boss or Ibanez of the same vintage.

Do a search for Washburn delay on ebay, there are a couple of the AD-9s, one with a BIN at $59.

 

Great pedal, pretty much identical to my DM-2, and Ibanez Delay Champ.

Prices that low are rare. But if you find one under $200, it's well worth it. But, you have to like a delay a lot to spend that kind of money (I did).

 

I don't know why people call the DD-3 sterile-sounding. I disagree; it's the best value in delay pedals, IMO.

My very first effect pedal was a DD-3. I thought it sounded good when I bought it, but had nothing else to compare it to, since I knew next to nothing about effects. But I have seen (and heard) the world of analog, and I can't go back to digital...or digital sounding delays. :wave:

I was the same way. I bought the guyatone MD3 and it was good, but I guess I'm just not a digital guy when it comes to delay. I really like the SIB better than the Dan echo.

I think it's time for me to pick up another analog delay to educate myself. I've only had an SAD-1, and thought the DMLII I bought subsequent shat all over it. I think I really appreciated the extra 500ms of delaytime.

 

Then I sold the DMLII to buy a TV
