- Why choose a digital delay? We offer some food for thought to help you through the repeating fog
Welcome to the show! We’re returning to one of our favourite topics today: delay. You’d be entirely forgiven for thinking that most digital delays are basically the same… but as we explore here, the differences are vast and potentially very confusing.
To whit, we offer three ways of thinking about digital delay, in order to help narrow your potential choices. We start with ‘old-school’ 12-bit delays that we’re calling ‘character’; moving on to modelling delays that seek to emulate classic machines of yore. We then discuss modern ‘creative’ delays which are those devices that are pushing the envelope of technology and imagination to take you far, far away from that simple, clean repeat. And yes, some pedals fall into all three categories!
The hope of all the above is - as ever - to help you ask a better question.
Don't ask ‘What delay should I buy?’
Instead try ‘What do I //really// want my delay to do?’
Enjoy the show!

Remember, all your favourite music up to the mid 80's was recorded on tape. Tape delays, in good shape, were far more 'pristine' than the first digital delays. The sound people tend to ASSOCIATE with tape delays today is that of a worn tape, driven input stage, and questionable transport system, producing the modulation, wow, flutter, and 'warmth' (tape saturation) that we think about in tape delays. I worked in broadcasting for years, and I would often 'borrow' one of the stations very-well-taken-care-of Revox 1/2" stereo reel-to-reel machines to provide delay on my recorded guitar, and, if I needed it to be, it was FAR cleaner than any digital delay of the time (80's and 90's.)
This a GREAT point. Thank you Gary!
One thing that I’ve always had trouble understanding, was why Hendrix never used an Echorec or Echoplex live.
He never even attempted to play quite a few songs live, because there was a lot of tape delay, and other effects on them. He was the highest paid live musician in the world, by ‘69, and it wouldn’t have been that difficult to figure out, as bands like Pink Floyd, were using them in ‘67 onward.
Gilmour even was using the same BC108 transistor Fuzz Face, that Roger Mayer had Jimi using by ‘67 through his last performance.
Gilmour wasn’t going through Marshalls, but he certainly got Fuzz and played loudly, like Hendrix.
It’s just a shame we never got to hear Jimi playing the 1983 medley, or just delay in general, live. With what he was doing, I can’t believe he wouldn’t be using tape delay, like a Syd Barrett was.
True. I remember reading about the earlier Boss DD2 and DD3 and how warm they were compared to a well maintained Echoplex. Eric Johnson used the 3 along with a Echoplex and later, a Memory Man. I think he liked the warmth of the early 3's but also the longer delay times.
90s more like.
@@danmist I mean pro tools came along in '91, but there were other digital recording media before that such as DAT, which came out in '87
I wish The Edge will be one day chatting hours long with Dan and Mike about delays.
Could not imagine a more epic show. You guys could come to Vegas to do that show.
The DD3 is a beast. Don't let anyone tell you that it isn't. It's the best $100 you can spend on a pedal.
The sheer number of options available to guitarists today are almost a disservice - too many things to choose from. I say this as one who has spent years trying so many different options of delay, reverb and of course dirt. I've had to tell myself, as a songwriter who needs to make demos, that good enough is good enough. If I were an artist, it would be a different level of obsession. Appreciate all you do. I have learned so much from your videos over the years.
If in doubt, buy the small Boss pedals 😂
Had DL4 mk2 and it gave me option paralysis. Traded it for UA Starlight bc Mick commented on simplicity of 3 delays instead of a bunch. It is fantastic. Thanks, Gents!
Hey guys 57:36 should be the time stamp for “why we didn’t have the Meris lvx” love everything you do! Love my lvx!!!! Can’t wait for that episode!
TPS is seriously one of the most guitar-intelligent channels on UA-cam. How on earth are the boys still not at 500k subscribers. We need to start some sort of subs drive and get Mick & Dan over the line for Christmas.
@RickBeato
@PaulDavids
@MusicisWin
@andertons
Ah, thanks so much 🤓🙏
Ha! Thanks. We’re too confusing for big numbers. Hahahah!
When kindness critical thinking comes into vogue, you guys will really take off. I think 500k says a lot about how truly gifted the two of you are
Would love to see the recognition of numbers for Mick and Dan, but … gotta say how much I admire and appreciate them for picking an underserved target audience and serving them (us!) beautifully. This vid is a great example of what they do super, super well. Most people don’t want this level of detail, but for me, it is effing brilliant! Speaking of plans of things to get done before Christmas, getting TPS to 500K would be fab, let’s all show some love and merch up for the holidays! 🎄😀👍🏻
@@markkennedy1022 Agreed. I will never own most of this stuff, but the equipment I do own, I understand far better because of this channel. Thanks, TPS. 😎
Love that Halo. I was introduced to Andy by you chaps and I went out and bought that pedal straight away. Now, I’ve never really been a delay guy….but ever since I got that pedal, I RARELY play without it…and I have you two fine fellows and Andy to thank/blame for it! Cheers!
In 1981 I designed and programmed with a Z80 12bit AD/DA running at 4Mhz. It had like 2K or ram. It was at that time really high end. Today I work with 32bit AD/DA converters (ESSTech) and 32bit microcontrollers capable of DSP functions at 120Mhz in the same package and they have 12bit AD/DA internally.
Modelling: I always like to remind people that Fourier and LaPlace came up with this math in 1820's. Everything they did was infinite, not 12, 24 etc... without regard to sample rate.
You would go to floating point math in more complex delays because the required coefficients are all less than 1. So doing math with integers is a bit of a mess with coefficients times samples. Some DSP and Processors have built in floating point processors to make this math easier and less complex. Just requires more powerful CPU/DSP.
Great show, I am a set and go and would probably go DD3T. Thanks Gordon
Picked up an SDE-3000 EVH a couple weeks ago and it's absolutely glorious. EVH 5150 III as the dry amp in a wet/dry/wet. Huge sound.
Yes. The EVH SDE-3000 is the best delay pedal I have ever owned. It does the Andy Timmons Halo sound but the EVH version of that. It is also easy to use. A very quick skimming of the manual will allow you to get deep into all the functions. I have the Free The Tone delay. It arrived with the LED broken that tells you the delay is on - not the end of the world but not great. Also, deep dive into manual was quite frustrating. Not able to get the sounds I want out of the FTT delay, although it is has a beautiful pristine delay. Recommend highly the EVH SDE 3000. Super easy to use and it will elevate your sound.
I wanted to comment on the Halo, but first I wanted to say that Dan was on FIRE today with his playing , especially the intro bit, and my goodness, the bridge pickup on Red - wow. Back to the Halo, I think it's amazing, but the bit about Reverb is important - you've got to turn reverb off in your chain/amp to see just how much "reverb" the Halo setting adds. When I first got the pedal, I had reverb on my amp turned on, and it was too much - once I turned it off and just had the Halo - then perfect! Also, don't forget everyone, that the Halo is NOT just the Andy Timmons sound - it's a dual delay, with presets, so the other footswitch is its own, separate delay. For the money, the Halo, is just fantastic!
Thanks so much Steven 🤓🙏
@@ThatPedalShow What a great episode!
Fwiw, SDE-3000D and EVH comprise a switchable option for the dry/dsp through. Boss doesn't advertise, but checked both manuals and found it somewhat cryptically under "bypass." The fact that it's interacting dual stereo lines and not just dual mono lines is just fantastic.
I’m shocked to say this, but I think my favorite was the Boss Digital Delay, followed closely by the Halo. Just an iconic sound that doesn’t need any adjustments to my ears.
There’s a reason why this pedal has been around for decades in different incarnations. I bought one of the first ones in the 80s and for what it’s designed it just does it perfectly.
Apart from the delay stuff, Dan seems to be enjoying his new guitar🤘
Mick waking up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, in a cold sweat, about his pedalboard going up in smoke 😆
...I can relate 👊
Wonderful episode!! That WDW rig sounds amazing!!! That TS1 OD Channel will live in my head for a while....Sounded great, well done gentleman.
This is so timely, Lads! I finally picked up a delay pedal earlier this year. I got the Keeley / Timmons Halo. Andy's Halo preset is the first time delay ever made sense to me under MY OWN fingers. Now I want more! Looking forward to watching when I have a little more time this weekend. Thank you!
I'm a simplistic guy. That said, the one that does it all for me is the Keeley Halo. Awesome sounds, easy to dial in and unbeatable footprint. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those.
I love you guys. Thank you for making such an excellent show. Todays episode is great so far.
It's brilliant that you demoed the delays also with a crunch sound!
Particularly enjoyed the playing, polymoon and philosophical tangent at the end. Thanks yall!
Fantastic episode, chaps!
You both seem so happy & well placed. It’s a nice thing. Also, the low key head to head on Dan’s Red & Mick’s new NF10 is how guitar reviews should done! Cool to note the contrasts and just listen and enjoy.
Thanks very much!
Cheers
This was absolutely outstanding. Truly great job guys, i love delay and i NEEDED this
Love this video like all of yours. This one made me feel like I was texting you with my brain when you went to the Boss pedal. I have the EVH version and love it however the learning curve is pretty steep which has certainly curtailed how much I use it. Trying to set up an expression pedal to control delay volume only took me 4 days and an email back and fourth with Roland support. They were very helpful but the experience has made it harder to really get into the pedal. Thanks for all you do. Have a great weekend.
Besides the awesome delay sounds.....damn.Dan, you and that Jaguar is just pure bliss ❤
1:00:57 He did it! He played the chord! And the crowd goes wild!
Beautiful show. I love delay pedals used as instruments!
Great show Leg Ends, the choices that are available today are astounding, you guys are really THE GOLD STANDARD when it comes to demonstrating PEDALS " I suppose the clues in the name of the show" I was a little surprised that given the content you didn't invite THE EDGE to sit in with you guys? . What's hilarious is that a few years ago I would have thought that completely impossible, but these days none of us would be surprised if you said next week ON THAT PEDAL SHOW " ELVIS " & NOT COSTELLO!!! . did you guys hear about PAUL SIMON e.mailing PAUL DAVID & correcting him on a couple of chords from his how to play video!!! , to right, it's nice to see you UA-cam guys are finally being recognised for the legitimate ARTISTS YOU REALLY ARE . Many thanks again for your wonderful work, you have certainly made my life a nicer place & Dan your playing on that Jonny Jag is a pleasure to behold. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Great show. I love delay and have had many delay pedals. My current favorite is the ducking delay in the Line 6 HX Effects with an expression pedal controlling the mix from a low mix level of 18 percent to a maximum level of 40 percent. It sounds great. I have a bunch of your shirts. I always get a lot of comments on how cool they are. Thanks from Angelo in Michigan
Just head to add that the Jag sounds and looks BEAUTIFUL.
Awesome intro playing from Dan!
Brilliant video !! Brilliant playing !! Brilliant sounds !!
Well, my experiments in Physical Delay have sufficiently proved that Analog is far more economical and effective, so it looks like you guys are going on the right path. 🤘
What a good way to start the weekend, a TPS delay pedal video.
Dan with his red Tele into the OD channel with the Halo sounded just awesome.
Pedals that learn our playing style with every note we play and provide delay accordingly, surely must be the next evolution.
I love my OTO Bim for non-guitar duty (too much work for integrating it with guitar impedance/etc.) but the Eventide Rose has turned out to my favorite stompbox delay. Similar digital with analog bits hybrid but correct impedance and 9V power.
Ugly as sin, initially a bit confusing interface, but the analog filter, reverse capability, various types of modulation, etc. make it a beast - and it sounds incredible no matter what.
Great great great show guys. Amazing show! More like this!
Awesome Video like always. Now, I know were to go next. Thank you TPS!
I feel like the Polymoon gets put in this box of being super weird. It DOES do all that stuff, but it also does do really easy and obvious delay sounds. I wish we could calm down and look at it normally. That stuff is only complicated if you turn it on. I understand why Dan did, but it frustrates me slightly that these sounds are the only things people think that pedal does. Try this on: Polymoon a great different feel alternative for people who get into space echo or echorec multitap type sounds. More rhythmic possibilities, different modulation, but still in there. Free the Polymoon! It's a misunderstood pedal, and I think portrayals like this, understanding their good intentions, sometimes don't help. Love the show! Old school TPS!
Epic as always. Watching over a break in my day. I’m assuming the new 2290 pedal hadn’t dropped yet at the time of filming… so looking forward to a possible follow up/addendum with your reactions.
Hey D&M,
I finally got the chance to watch this vid for the second time, this time through my surround-sound home theater….why? just because it sounds so bloody good! That Two-Rock, those delays and those guitars all sounded glorious!
Speaking of guitars, despite me being a PRS Fan-Boy, the guitar star of this episode was that Jaguar, what a great looking and sounding instrument!
I was also glad to see the discussions of 12-bit delay goodness. On my Strymon DIG, the 12-bit delay is wonderful….and used most often.
And, as always, thanks for the great sound and visual production. It is ALWAYS appreciated!!
I think one of the things that doesn't get mentioned enough is that the early Boss digital delays had an 800 ms maximum delay time, while the early Boss analogue delays maxed out around 300 ms. This has implications for the ways in which delay can be rhythmically used, because the classic dotted eighth note delay at 120 bpm works out to 375 ms, and the quarter note triplet delay is 333 ms. For those of us who used rhythmic delays, I think the most commonly used delay times for popular music are going to be in the 300-500 ms range, and the DM-2 and DM3 just couldn't do that, at all, unless you increase the tempo to an uncomfortable 144 bpm or higher. I didn't pick up guitar until about 1989, so my first delays were a DSD-2 Digital Sampler/Delay borrowed from the drummer in my band, and later I purchased a PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay, which went up to a full 2000 ms.
Yes, but if you shorten the delay time down to 14-3 ms, and raise the feedback, while feeding the whole thing into an amp, you get vocals. As long as you filter right.
i've landed pretty whole heartedly on the RE2, the rhythmic thing is just so great and no other digital delay i've tired gets out of the way quite as well
wonderful episode!!
I was wearing my "Fuzz Is All You Need" Shirt while watching this. I think we all know this is true on the one hand. But we also know after watching this some nice delay and other nice effects is wonderful to have too.
I have a Carbon Copy analog delay and the FreeTheTone Flight Time which I love for it's tone and possibility to program on timebase and a Strymon Volante for simulation of multihead delay machines.
I’ll take character over modeling/features, any day … ❤️
The MEGA DELAY, 3 part series from way back is the reason I got a DD-500. A revisit to this format with new perspectives would be awesome 🤘
Great show guys. love my Polymoon, glad to see it featured!
It’s incredible!
Wow, well done. Dan had some awesome moments in this vid. Killer!
I'm not going to start talking about what's on my board and what isn't, because I really think you had the right approach to this. What I will say, though, is that prior to TPS (many moons ago), I used to absolutely HATE delays!
My current board has three delays. One is "always on" and acts as a bit of a doubler, the second is a modeling delay that covers a few classics, and third is rather specific in what it does (muti-head drum echo). Currently out of rotation is really good analog delay. Board real-estate in combination with the fact that the digital ones are getting REALLY good, made me swap it.
So, TYPES of delay all day long rather than specific brands/models.
Cheers, everyone!
By the way "Need to read the manual"... That's just, like, the manufacturers "opinion" anyway ;-)
My takeway....as usual tangential to the topic at hand, is that the Two Rock OD channel sounds killer.
Both guitars sound absolutely fantastic!
None of these sound like the old units … but I really like the Halo; that’s nice 😎👍🏼
Best show ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. I could go on ......
My engineer dad bought me a Boss DD3 when I was in high school in the late 90s and I'll never part with it. Love that thing. Of course, he spent the drive home talking to me about chips and what not. I just wanted to schwang.
Great to see you back, love to see how some of that Marrguargoodness has rubbed off on you.😀
Jag sounds wonderful. Happy weekend 😊
Great, I am searching for the definite delay pedal... I have a Reecho Pro by Moore, I have to say it's a very nice option, yet obviously it's pretty cheap (got it used for €75 in a store, works perfectly). The Tape simulation is out of this world for its price
I believe the term for multiple Memory Men is a Memoir 👾👾👾👾👾
Awesome show
That’s a massive clean tone btw. Well done.
Mick, showing off the cosmic country chops!!
Fantastic video guys. Also one of my favorite intro’s by Dan.
Awesome Show !
I cannot wait for you guys to do some content on the LVX, it's spectacular!! It's an epic playground for someone like me. I would love to see a super deep dive on it.
Using the Timeline for a decade now and it still fits my needs.
That TS1 is impressive, really liked the Jag too. Delay is must have for me and all these delays sound great. I hope you guys review the new 2290 pedal soon. Thanks!
Here to say I love the Noel “I wonder what the settings are” clips with associated amp shots of late. Bang on!
I am a delay freek and bought the Halo, because I loved the small form and thought, right this is the one. I only really use 3 delay settings live. Dotted 8th, quarter and slapback. But, because I am a singer and sometimes wear boots! I was hitting the 2 footswitches by accident sometimes,lol! So now I am using the quartermaster to switch! But, the real point I wanted to make in relation to this video is, I was used to digital delays and just turning down the effect volume to not have it too prominent. And for me, it has been a real struggle to get the Halo to sit right, one because of the actual level of the delay, is so different to my Nova Delay for example. But listening to this, I think I will start using wet/dry. Not wet dry wet, I can't take 3 amps to the gig! Thanks for this, it really made up my mind!
Thank you for this video! Cheers
Great playing and demo, thanks much. For me it was one of your best episodes.
It didn't make the cut here, but the GFI System Orca delay is my sleeper of sleepers. When I first took it out of the box, I played it for an hour without touching any knobs and was in heaven. I own a Line 6 DL4 mk2 but even with its 30 delay algorithms I don't prefer it to the Orca, which only has 4. I often play with ONLY the Orca straight into the amp, with no other effects and it sounds terrific. Usually I don't want other effects masking the Orca's pure, great sounding delays. 3 of the 4 delays ported to the Orca were already on the Specular Tempus. The Tape Delay is new for the Orca. I also have a Flashback 2 which is a decent enough delay pedal but no competition for the Orca.
For a pedal that costs about half of what the Orca goes for, I thought the BOSS Digital Delay was damn impressive. I've never owned a boutique delay pedal so those were not of as much interest, and probably not comparable.
Far out boys! Mega sounds again 🎸🎶🔥💯
Perfect timing, I’m just looking for a new delay!
the look on your faces with the Halo and Two-Rock says it all. That's my sound!
I loved every one of them - and in headphones, I have reasons and feels about each one. The surprise was revisiting the old Boss after all these ages. I am a Halo user - and 80% of the time on the default, a bit of tone rolled off - and an expression pedal. In the rack days, I had an Ensoniq DP4 and I made it do everything (modulation, delay, verb - in stereo - but I used it with analog dry through). But alas, the Halo remains the one I always needed! Love that Two Rock, as well. That was epic!
Extreme value to understand the difference and detect what things that tick the inner soul of my heart according to the best effect there is, Delays
Great color on the Jag!!
Awesome Dan
I love this episode. You guys have helped me understand pedals even more so through your channel. This helped even more. Also, I discovered Dan's secret guitar power. The Delay Master. Lol, that was some amazing playing Dan. I would also like to mention Mick's playing wasn't a struggle. It sounded like a great blues-rock sound that would inspire. Keep that up. It may be your breakout sound.
Thanks Christopher 🤓🙏
Great show this week chaps - this is my favorite format - could have been an hour or 2 longer
😉
Great show!
I still use my trusty DD-3 (bought in '89) as my basic delay, chorus is handled by an old CE-3, flanging by my first pedal - a DOD 575A from '86.
I added a Black Fountain (oil can simulation) for that real swampy feel.
I then got a Mercury 7 after being blown away by it on your show, that one will keep me entertained for the rest of eternity :)
Meris has definitely found a special place in the effects world.
Overall, we're spoiled for choice, but the biggest upside is that so much more is possible with less gear than ever has been the case.
Learning how to use it is the challenging part.
The CE-3 is soooo under rated. I had one and did the wet dream mod. Never should have sold it
I have several delays including TC Electronic Triple Delay, EHX Memory Man etc, etc. But one that I'm surprised wasn't more popular, especially for experimental adventures is DigiTech's TimeBender... endless possibilities and I paid $120 for it. It's a keeper. Then again I think all delays are "keepers"! hahaha Thanks for another great episode of TPS. Cheers guys!
God bless you TPS, for doing your thing in the face of adversity. To the complainers, do you realize how many options are on the market now? So many channels are on UA-cam to demo every single one! Why is it on TPS to cover them? This is not an 'entire market of delays' survey, nor an assessment of merit in that context.
I think this is a VERY good primer for those trying to grasp the range of digital delays, and handy pre-sorting for those approaching the multitude of options for the first time.
We have high hopes when it comes to humans. And boy do we need them. Ha!
Thank you for the comment. :0)
Teach a person to fish
Great show. As stated, you could go on for days and days. That said, Andy's Halo does more than you guys had time to get into to, and had Andy demonstrate, but it really does a LOT more when you take the deep dive. Like all of these I would presume, it would take years to get everything out of every pedal, and there'd be new ones introduced to extend your journey until you expired. A happy man or a perplexed man, but a fulfilled man nonetheless.
You are correct with the comment at the end Mick they are just devices but with out the hands of the guy on the guitar they just sit there and do nothing as does the guitar but when you get time to sit and mess around with this stuff they can be a lot of fun even inspiring great show as always guys look forward to next weeks episode
With this mini digital delay revival, Yamaha needs to release a UD-Stomp mark II. Stereo inputs this time.
Loving my Halo. Thanks, guys!
Loved the cheeky Radiohead reference on the SD3000D part. You've crammed a lot of want into this episode! I foolishly thought the 3 delays and 2 reverbs on my current board were enough. I had no idea that I needed a Halo, DL42 and the Boss. I'm also auditioning a Jonny Jag on Friday and praying I can't get on with the scale length. I'dve loved to have heard the Edd Strat with these too.
I have been looking at the Meris Polymoon alot recently, but i think this episode actually helped me decide it wasn't the delay pedal for me. It sounds great, but it does way too much for my playing, i think i might be looking for something more simple.
Thanks for a nice informative episode, i think Digital delay is where it's at for me, some DSP these days are just so good, i struggle to see why i would go analog to be honest. One of my favorite delays is the SolidGoldFX Electroman Mk.II or it's newer version, the "EM-III" :)
Great intro playing Dan!👍🏻
Cheers mate 🤓🙏
As a bassist who plays guitar and loves your show it would be really interesting if you could get a bass player on for a show of what guitar gear do bassists use and what bass gear do guitarists use.
My daughter prefers my Orange bass amp for her Gretsch Penguin because it doesn't get flubby and she uses my bass signal splitting pedal on her pedal board. I use a bunch of guitar pedals for my bass signal chain.
I'd say you can use most gear for both, but it probably depends on taste and setup which gear is "good" for both.
For instance i use an Earthquaker Devices Dunes overdrive for bass while my Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor is on the guitar board. There's also people who use like Engl Fireball guitar tube amps into 4x10 for bass.
@@Leychen Yeah, and we know that because we tried it. But I don't assume all guitar/bass players know those things. I can't tell the difference between my Empress Bass Compressor on bass and guitar but there must be one since they make one specific for bass (I assume there is a difference in the frequency it senses at).
I just think it would be something actually new for the channel and that people would learn a lot from it.
That said, I don't know if the boys know a gear junkie bassist who would delight in spending an afternoon fiddling with gear, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Lovely stuff from Dan in the intro. I heard something very reminiscent of ‘I believe’ by Joe Satriani.
My Boss DD-500 is everything I've ever wanted or needed. It's like a Swiss Army knife and a toolbox full of delay's. Boss has always done phenomenal delay's.
I would totally be fine with a board like this. filled with 9 delays. fun for days 😁
Been waiting for Dan to get into Jags. They are such a perfect fit for his playing. Love Mick on the 335 as well.
Love it when Dan plays The Tourist ❤
I started with a DD3 decades ago and then went through over three decades of the creatives,characters, etc now I'm back at DD200.
12/10 episode and playing. That Jaguar and TS1 tone has my wallet hiding in fear.
As much I've loved my DD3 (for more than 20 years) as well as my first-gen Empress SuperDelay (white one), the best delay pedal I've ever owned is the Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe.
I am SO impressed by those who have (or have spent) the time to learn things like the Timeline etc.. I don't (haven't) so for me, that HALO is EPIC!
My favourite delay is the old digitech digidelay, it's cheap and amazing! It's like a dd3 on steroids. Great video guys, as always!!!!
