Are you in the market for a boutique delay? Because there are some great ones out there already... Howard Davis modded DMMToadworks ReduxSPF I-5Diamond Memory LaneToneczar Echo CzarBlackbox QuicksilverAtomic Echo Clone I'm not sure why it needs to have the zvex name on it to be worthy of buying... And another thing...people are always complaining that there isn't a boutique version of a particular pedal, but then they complain about the price when one does come along. The Diamond Memory Lane is a perfect example...it has all the features everyone wanted, including tap tempo, control of both depth and rate on the modulation side, analog with 500ms of delay time, effects loop, tone rolloff... But when it came out, people were like "Oh, I'd definitely buy it if it was under $300." Well, then just get the DL-4. There are so many mass-produced delays that are excellent...I'm not sure why we need another plain vanilla delay just because it has a particular boutique maker's signature on it. If it does something interesting...well, then that's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much agree...this happens quite often on the forum.,..people list all the features they'd want, and when the pedal comes out, they're like "it's too expensive" I mean, I dunno how much these pedals would have to be...5 dollars or something???

Members Megatron_69 Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 I've heard great things about the DLS delays and chorus pedals. I think Greg Howe uses the DLS delay. I'm in the market for a delay right now......I've been leaning towards the DD20. I'm curious about Keeleys new delay pedal aswell or maybe the DLS.

Members CS Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 The Echotap is very subtle. You plug it in and IMHO there's no 'wow factor'. It does what it does efficiently. The filter darkens the repeats to the point whenre they are muddy so I barely have it on. The preset v tap tempo means you can select say slap back and switch to beat synched delays. You can alter the delays at will, either back to the slapback or a different temp (try hitting 1 and 4). So having said it's not that impressive, you realise that you have not turned it off for 30-45 minutes and it wasnt wearing. With my EH DMM I go WOW!!!! modulated scrummyness, adjust the delay time on the fly and then switch it off. The echo tap is a very useful pedal and along with a good overdrive on my must have on the board list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonny guitar Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 Originally posted by CS The Echotap is very subtle. You plug it in and IMHO there's no 'wow factor'. The Wow factor is the tone which is much better than the dd-20 imo. The filter darkens the repeats to the point whenre they are muddy so I barely have it on. I use it with a Univalve (rather bright) so I find the filter very usefull to get that old school tape feel and I can get the perfect note deteriotion corresponding with the delay counts So having said it's not that impressive, you realise that you have not turned it off for 30-45 minutes and it wasnt wearing. Yep, like an old tube tape delay. It doesn't do the wacky {censored} but sounds very good for old school delay sounds from Floyd to Rockabilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eyesonly Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 this is my favourite.... Ok well these are crap. The AD999 is the one to get, and that's an overpriced huge sized waste of money compared to the MXR Carbon Copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
