nice delay pedal

[timi_h]

so many out there and ive got tired of having my amp only do delay OR reverb, i want both dammit!!
i was looking at the BOSS DD-20 and it looks pretty much ideal, just wondering if there was anything better in that price range or anyone out there waiting to say "NO DONT GO THERE!!!!"
cheers,
timi

Wait, so you want a delay pedal that can do both delay and reverb?

[rummy]

I've been using the Boss DD5 for years until I sold my amp, and got a new one with reverb built-in. I'm considering the Boss RV-3. Seems like the perfect fit.

boss dd-20 has 23 seconds delay, which is cool!!

i was looking at one. i dont like it haveing a screen tho, thats never a good sign,

i dont know about reverbs tho..

no, just a nice delay pedal so i can use the reverb on my amp the whole time as the reverb on my amp is a very nice sound but the delay could be a little better!

Well, it depends on what kind of delay type you want. There's analog, digital, and tape. You most likely won't want tape, as it's kind of a hastle now that there's so much good tape simulators out now. Heres a few I recommend:

Analog: Boss DM-3, EH Memory Man, Diamond Memory Lane. there's really a ton of great analog delays
Tape: Ibanez DE7 (good tape simulator, has digital also though it isn't the strong point), Danelectro PB&J
Digital: Akai Headrush (my favorite Digital delay next to rack delays)

I wasn't happy with the Boss DD3/DD5's so i'm now using a Marshall echohead. It has a really smooth delay sound and blends in the mix nicely .. lots of great features too like anologue mode/tap tempo/reverse e.t.c

I've been wanting to get a delay pedal, I'm aiming for line 6 echo park or the analogman's dd3, what do you guys think?

I have a DM-3 and a DD-3. I use the DM-3 for a nice soft suttle little touch and the DD-3 for when I need some extended more dramatic delay. I haven't used some of the newer delay modeling tools out there however I would imagine that they would work just as well.

Reliability is fine and the delay variations available would suit almost any form of popular music played today.

The Ibanez/Maxon AD9 is supposedly a very nice analog delay pedal, though I never tried it. I'd suggest either that or one of the EH pedals for basic delay.

The Boss DD-20 will definately be very cool, but it might be overkill if you just want a relatively basic delay. However, it will probably cover all the delay needs you might ever have, so grab one if you can find it cheap enough.

ok im gonna get fussy now: i want a tap tempo function! other than that i dont really know what i want! thats why i was thinking of the DD-20 as it has everything ill ever need from a delay unit!

[sugizo_esp]

dd6 has a tap tempo

finally got around to looking at the specs of some of those pedals you recommended andy and the akai headrush looks awesome! went straight to top of the list so far purely based on spec readin! ill look into trying one out!!
