  • If you're looking to buy a new delay pedal for you or your mom, the choices are overwhelming. So today I'm going to break down the six main different types of delay pedals, where they came from, and what they sound like. That way you can sleep at night, you can rest, your blood pressure will go down, and you'll just be a happier person. I’m just here to help.

Any hints od where to look for such devices? :) So far I found only Moog mf104m which is about 6k $ and used only. I'm happy JHS KiltV2 and Pulp'n'peel user!

    The JHS Show has taught me the most important lesson about gear that I've learned as a guitarist: it's not about finding *THE* tone that defines your voice as a musician; it's about finding *A* tone that inspires you to create an interesting piece of music. In light of this realization, I spend a lot less money on guitars, pickups, amps, speakers, cables, overdrives (the most boring pedal category, IMO), etc., and I spend a lot more time experimenting with interesting pedals. I'm now using my time actually composing music instead of shopping for just the right break-up in my drive sound (pro tip: the perfect drive sound for all occasions simply doesn't exist). TL;DR: thanks for the fresh perspective, Josh!

      If you have about 200 bucks and digital doesn't scare you off, and the brand name isn't important: the Line 6 M9 & M13 are fantastic. These models were all designed by Jorge Tripps and keep in mind, a fuzz or chorus's magic is a lot easier to model than a tube amp/speaker/mic combo.
      You could easily spend dummy money on 5-7 cheap Joyo/Dano/Biyang/Behringer tier pedals in excess of the M series cost, and never have stereo ins or outs, a tuner, noise gate, banks of presets, expression control, etc.
      Go comb the threads on these & see how many just ended up taking almost everything else off of their board.
      The HX Effects is a step up, but tbh I think I played the 'legacy' (M series) effects more than anything else when I demo'd it. There were cool new models like the FZ2 and OCD in there, though.
      My only gripe is that the ToneCore series wasn't patched over, and there is nothing (in my infallible opinion) that truly covers the ground of the RotoMachine & LiquiFlange on either.
      It's a poor man's Bob Bradshaw unit complete with damn near everything you could want. Do recommend, and yes - the dirt is damn good, 1s and 0s and all.

    • @TheRealcdawg22
      @TheRealcdawg22 3 роки тому

      @@kampfkustomer2343 I feel I should add that the Global Noise Gate is in a signal possition that renders it practically useless. The Tuner sucks. The Looper is about 10 seconds shorter than most that are included on delay pedals. You can only use 4 effects at a time including utilities like Volume.
      It's true though the algorythms are mostly great. Especially the Delays. The quality of the Compressors suprised me too. It has proffessional routing options and can add 2 Expression pedals. It's very easy to use. You don't have to program it to use it like individual pedals but you can program it if you like and go very deep.
      Too bad Line6 wouldn't fix the noise gate issue with a firmware update. I tried.

      Lol if you can push a hiwatt far enough to make it break, you have achieved the perfect break. Or use a tube screamer with a big muff, your favorite delay (t Rex is a good one) and a compressor. And bang! You have not really David Gilmour because you will never be David gilmour but close enough to fool your friends. Can’t get a hiwatt? (Who can?,really?) fender blues deluxe..or a vox

      Stack overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals. I personally rarely use only one of them at a time, even at low gain. That's what experimenting means. A single pedal can give only so much, but multiple stacked gain pedals are a whole different beast!

    Check out the bass part from King Crimson “Sleepless”. Tony Levin is the man!
    Modern songs. “Shut Up and Dance With Me” has a very U2 opening.
    Lizzo’s song “Juice” has a very Andy Summers from the Police guitar part.
    Jimmy Pages violin bow solo from the Song Remains the Same movie.
    From Monty Pythons movie The Holy Grail. There’s a lot of slap back delay in the three headed giant’s voice that wants to kill Sir Robin.
    Oh so many.

    I have an Akai Head Rush V2 and love every function. My favorite feature is that there are four outputs, besides the main out, which can be hooked up to four amps (haven't done that yet). I think the really cool part of this feature is that it can also can be used to separate the tape delay heads by placing a 1/4 inch jack into any one of the said outs to separate the tapes even further (not sure if I am saying this correctly). This creates some big distances in the delays initially that end up crashing into each other with the subsequent repeats. It would be cool to hear what an expert like you thinks about this pedal as it's a mainstay on my board. I mainly play the bass guitar if that makes any difference at all.
    Love the knowledge and diversity of sounds I hear with "Record Time". Thanks for everything.

    Dear Josh, as always, I'm constantly in awe at that amazing wall of pedals and effects units behind you there. The guitar sound effect and tone library gathered must lead to hear scratching at times when you get that guitar sound in your head that your after. Anyway, I was just wondering if you guys might put the current pedal library count at the start of the video and maybe you could do a special on the top 10 pedals in the entire library, maybe it would have to be a top 20, 50 or 100. Maybe it's to hard a task to even consider, but you know what it would be mega interesting to us guitar crazies. Thanks for the great delay video and keep on Rockin, Sean.

    Delay is my favorite effect. The first effect I ever spent real money for was a green Echoplex with all those great tubes and tape cartridges.

    Hard to not think of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour when speaking of delay in rock music. “Run Like Hell” is a classic along with U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name”. I also like the way Mike Rutherford uses delay both in Genesis and in Mike and the Mechanics (“Follow You, Follow Me” and “The Living Years” for example). Marillion’s Steve Rothery uses it very tastefully too. I’m a sucker for delay and use it in my music too. I can’t help it. :)

    I remember the day the DL4 dropped. Yes, it does color the signal path, but it was a game changer that gave coveted delays and looper functionality to the masses. Early units sometimes became microphonic, but they are still to this day golden in live situations. The TC alter ego should be an honorable also. PGS Andy did an amazing job helping to create that unit, which has all bases covered IMO.
    I absolutely love echoplex tape delay after fiddling with BiasFX, so for me? The MXR unit is probably my next buy for lush slap back in a wet/dry setup. The boss DD3 or DD7 is what I want for more dotted 8th note ambiance. Great video. One of my favorite so far.👍🏻

I've got a Danelectro Dan-Echo I bought maybe 20 years ago and it had about 14 control settings. On setting tape echo you could dial it in and sound like Jimi playing the Red House sound.
