Great information! Always an excellent idea to hear a different perspective on delay settings. Now is the chance to play around a little bit more and see what other interesting musical equations I can create… Cheers!
I like adding a faux delay with a Floyd. It’s almost like a weird pitched delay which I have yet to find in a pedal format. Choose a note you want to accent then you briskly press the whammy about a half-step (more or less) down and release it slowly to the next delayed sound (about 850ms as your video states). It has a nice decay to it as the note dies out. I also like gradually increasing the delay length and how fast I release the bar on the very last note. By the way - those are some NICE harmonics!
Landed on your channel by chance, perfect landing! working on stuff today in pro tools and the delay was just getting lost, will try your approach tomorrow, liked and sub. thanks, Clive.
Thank you! I'm glad you like my playing style. That really means a lot. Here's a link to my music. music.ua-cam.com/video/gT0mZPG1V_s/v-deo.html&feature=share
Thank you for sharing these great info! I have 2 questions: 1) Feedback: how many repetitions do you consider as the magical number, maybe two-three? 2) Always on delay: would you recommend a setting that could be used as "always on" or it would ruins some riffs? My band is a power trio, so I'm experimenting how to sound bigger and cover all the empty spaces, however too much delay may ruin things up
So sorry for the late reply. I would say 3 to 5 repeats would be perfect for solos. For an always on delay, you want the volume to be quite a bit lower but still enough to hear it when you lean in to hear it, if that makes sense. Probably around 2 or 3 repeats on that. It should just be loud enough to create some space and to be heard when you're stopping in between passages just to fill the space a little bit.
Awesome video man! I love delay & really love stereo delay. Gotta get me another Friedman ASC12 & I'm gonna be in stereo heaven!! Keep doing the good stuff! 🤘😁🤘
Hi Brett, thank you. I agree, stereo delay is MASSIVE! It really creates a ton of space. Warning - If you get another Friedman, you'll never leave your house lol.
300ms just seems to work for me, (although I will use tempo synched specific-BPM-delays - when needed) for some R&B and Reggae/Dub. The Boss DD-500 does anything you could ever want.
do you have a certain plug in you suggest? what about if you are doing a harmony between L and R and each are fully panned respectively? In that case you can't use stereo right?
Try using two delays the short one in front of the long one. Four instance on your first delay use the short slap back like 150 ms followed by a longer delay 1/4 note or about 800 ms.
Ed’s (RIP!) EP-3 wasn’t capable of 850ms. You’ll find everything up through at least WACF is under 400ms. By Diver Down (?) Maybe later those SDE-3000’s were capable of anything any pedal could do (time wise and more)…🤘 Dean
Thank you very much sir for your advice on delay settings. I'm now using ping-pong delay in dotted 8th fashion at 850ms all the time. I heard in one of the interviews Mr. Petrucci uses Ping Pong delay in dotted 8th fashion so I'm using the same
I just got a helix, so just about to learn. Can you give me the run down on your set up on how to get your tone etc. I’d like to emulate your sound. Thanks in advance!!
How can you dial that in an analog pedal? Also, if you did the same video for reverb it would be amazing! Also, thanks for steering me in the direction of the Mr scary for my badlander! 🤟🤟🤟
Seen your videos before... just subscribed... please reply... guitar.. costume Majesty style..? I know maybe you explained this before in other video.. my eyes can't tell on cellphone screen... please reply... p.s. does it come in black? 😁 nice video 🤘💪🎸🎶👍
So sorry for the late reply. I usually have about five or six repeats that way it sounds huge without interrupting everything. Regarding time signatures, that's really up to you. for the most part, I find that 850 to 1200 milliseconds works best for me
850 ms (for example) is your 'time signature' , I was wondering about repeats, he just answered that , but also depth in the mix, eg; 30% 50% etc... I usually use about 30ms, 2 or 3 repeats, and 30 or 40% mix level. I have tried 500 ms etc, seems to get muddy, but then it gets that big sound as well, so I think setting up both sparse and saturated delays, so you can instantly switch between them might be key.
I believe the delay I was using in this video was from my line 6 helix. It was the ping pong delay The pickups are sonic ecstasy pickups in my majesty guitar
Any advice on feedback level and mix level? I love long delays like 850ms but can never quite get my repeats just right either sounds like too many or too little,, my delay settings are in feedback and mix,, any advice? Thanks!
Thanks for the great advice. Unfortunately at this time I don’t use the stereo method and I’m strictly an acoustic guitarist but I like to throw in some leads. So question. If I’m going mono, do you suggest a 1/4 or dotted 8 for a lead? How many repeats? Thanks! 🙏
@@TONEWARSgearshow I’m sorry one more question and it’s kinda dumb but learning here. What exactly are you referring to by 850ms? Not the repeats right?
I use a mxr carbon copy delay in the effects loop of my amp. I love the way it colors my tone; adds a bit of darkness and depth to the lead sound. The max delay time on a carbon copy is 600ms but I’ve found that to work perfectly. Adjusting down the MS time to match the tempo of the track.. but overall it works perfectly for adding depth and size to the tone
Hi James, I have a stereo rig, so I always go for stereo delays. Inused the helix ping pong delay here. There's no reverb. Do a slight hi cut on the delay and it'll give it a reverb/delay feel. Any delay pedal that suits your taste should work. Just go for 850 (ish) ms and a slight hi cut and you're good
Lol, "Some people think delay will cover up their mistakes". Uhh, yeah as you pointed out, make a mistake and it'll come back to haunt you 850ms later! Got a Wampler Ethereal coming for Christmas, can't wait to try this out. B)
I was actually playing with high millisecond setting and was yhinking the same things.. i was setting my pedal cause i didn't like the sound for my playing. And then came on youtube to see if my delay was too much.. and guess we have a similar tast in delay..
Great channel . Just subscribed . How much was your mix and if you use reverb and if you don't mind sharing the setting . I would love you doing the compressors and noise gates . Keep it up
Paulo, thanks for commenting and subscribing. The delay settings are as follows- Mix - Kemper 65% Helix 35% Feedback around 45% I will definitely do more episodes about other fx and settings. Reverd, compressors, flangers, phasers.... Very soon
Awesome video. How many repeats do you set your delay to, and what is the ratio of the mix in regards to wet vs. dry signal. Also, can you recommend settings for delay for rhythm to fatten up the sound?
Thanks for commenting. Sorry for the late reply. It's been pretty busy around here lately. Delay settings for solos- Mix is 35% Feedback 40% Rhythm settings- Time 650 ms Mix 23% Feedback 30%
This is really interesting, I've never been able to dial in a good lead delay, it seems like the delayed notes either steps all over the played notes or if you turn the mix down enough to avoid that it just doesn't do that much. Just tried this on my headphone amp and it works nicely, doesn't interfere with the solo notes and bringing the mix up makes it actually do something! Thanks for the tip will try it with my full rig at band practice this week.
New subscriber here !! Very useful video!! Thank you very much. You should make more videos dedicated to solos (what to use, delays/reverb/compression?/EQ?), what pickups to use for clean/powerful solos? and how to record them (In the middle of the mix? panned ? stereo?)... Cheers from Australia

Hi, great vid, and sounds awesome. Question though, for someone like me who plays more bluesy rock and can't shred like you guys, would the delay setting be similar for a solo with less notes and more space or would It be a different thing altogether. I often find the delay gets in the way a bit so not sure if it's time or mix.

@@TONEWARSgearshow Cool, thanks for getting back to me on this. I've been a "purist" sorta guy for years, but days have come where hauling big rigs on tour just sucks! LOL Sooo... I got myself a LIne 6 Spider IV. Not anywhere in the same league as a Kemper or Fractal, or Headrush, or Helix... LOL, but wanted to dip my toes in the "modelling" waters, without taking a bank loan. I'm a musician, I can't afford good gear, ha! It sounds pretty good for most applications, and I'm a big fan of their Delays. So, there's the question... WTF is "Offset"?
@@KKBoschMusic we all had to start somewhere. I started on the POD HD 500. To your question, I believe the Offset function is controlling the "width" of the drlay. The higher the number, the wider it is
Thanks for commenting. It's definitely just a delay setting. I don't really use reverb very often at all. If dialed in correctly, delay can sound amazing
Thanks for commenting. All of the effects that you're hearing in this video are from the Helix. The only analog pedal in the chain is my overdrive. The overdrive I used was the Precision Drive by horizon devices.
Hi Ed, I would suggest placing reverb right after delay. Subtle level with a long(ish) decay. Searchlights on the helix is nice!! "Hangar" on the Kemper is very good too
Okay I have to admit looking at you with the purple guitar my thoughts were can this joker actually play or is this just some click bait junk? After hearing you play I thought "OKAY NUMB NUTS" why are you NOT stating your name and the name of your band? That was great stuff! I was getting into it so much I was forgetting all about the dd stuff. You obviously love George Lynch & Warren D Martini. You're probably laughing right about now and we both know why. Anyway, what's the name of your band and what's your name? Zap
Thank you so much! I love how you worded this LOL. It totally cracked me up and made my day at the same time. I really appreciate the kind words and the interest in my music endeavors as well. One of the bands that I was in was called Reign, the other one was called Anastaci. I'm currently working on some new music and if you follow my channel, you will hear it soon. Thank you again very much
Thank you. Yes it is. I would humbly suggest that the repeats to be spread out more though. Tighter delay times = smaller sound. 850 ms is just a general suggestion. Not everyone can do tap tempo
Which Kemper delay and settings? I’ve been struggling with this a bit myself - which is how I landed on this video. Just subscribed 🤟🏻 I’ve been making patches on the Kemper where I turn reverb off when I switch to a lead sound with delay - I find the reverb almost washes it all out but still experimenting with lower reverb settings. So many damn parameters on all these effects - would love to see more detailing a specific lead setting for Kemper. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love this.
Hello Mike, so sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your question and suggestion. I will do an episode about this asap. Until then, here's my delay settings for lead Dual Delay Mix 70% Note Value 1 4/16 Note Value 2 8/16 Feedback 40%

Thanks for commenting. It's definitely just a delay setting. I don't really use reverb very often at all. If dialed in correctly, delay can sound amazing
are you using analog pedals for this or a digital effects processor? can you list the gear you used for this?
Thanks for commenting. All of the effects that you're hearing in this video are from the Helix. The only analog pedal in the chain is my overdrive. The overdrive I used was the Precision Drive by horizon devices.
Where/how would you use reverb, or would you to enhance the delay?
Hi Ed, I would suggest placing reverb right after delay. Subtle level with a long(ish) decay. Searchlights on the helix is nice!! "Hangar" on the Kemper is very good too
Okay I have to admit looking at you with the purple guitar my thoughts were can this joker actually play or is this just some click bait junk?
After hearing you play I thought "OKAY NUMB NUTS" why are you NOT stating your name and the name of your band? That was great stuff! I was getting into it so much I was forgetting all about the dd stuff. You obviously love George Lynch & Warren D Martini. You're probably laughing right about now and we both know why.
Anyway, what's the name of your band and what's your name?

Thank you so much! I love how you worded this LOL. It totally cracked me up and made my day at the same time.
I really appreciate the kind words and the interest in my music endeavors as well. One of the bands that I was in was called Reign, the other one was called Anastaci. I'm currently working on some new music and if you follow my channel, you will hear it soon. Thank you again very much
Gonna give the nova tc system a shot with 850ms and use the pitch shifter as a chorus +9 -9 with a lower delay settings as it only goes to 350ms.
Is it better for the delay to be set to the tempo of the drummer? Great vid btw. :D
Thank you. Yes it is. I would humbly suggest that the repeats to be spread out more though. Tighter delay times = smaller sound.
850 ms is just a general suggestion. Not everyone can do tap tempo
Which Kemper delay and settings? I’ve been struggling with this a bit myself - which is how I landed on this video. Just subscribed 🤟🏻
I’ve been making patches on the Kemper where I turn reverb off when I switch to a lead sound with delay - I find the reverb almost washes it all out but still experimenting with lower reverb settings. So many damn parameters on all these effects - would love to see more detailing a specific lead setting for Kemper. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love this.
Hello Mike, so sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your question and suggestion. I will do an episode about this asap.
Until then, here's my delay settings for lead

TONE WARS Awesome. Thanks much. Will give those a try this weekend. 🤟🏻.
@@mikemorrison3791 my pleasure. Again, sorry for the late reply.
TONE WARS Hey man would those settings be the same for Helix?
When using delay in solo, is it .8 or half note??
Ps. Im using delay with tap tempo..
very fucking good !
Thank you!!
