Choosing A Digital Delay For Guitar - Fun With Boss, Meris, Strymon, Line 6, OTO, Keeley & More

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.)

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.

@mleon1958 7 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great show this week chaps - this is my favorite format - could have been an hour or 2 longer 😉

None of these sound like the old units … but I really like the Halo; that’s nice 😎👍🏼

My takeway....as usual tangential to the topic at hand, is that the Two Rock OD channel sounds killer.

I was all about analog delay for so long. I recently bought a couple of rack digital delays from the 80s and 90s. (Chandler Stereo echo and Roland SDE 1000). It completely changed my mind about digital delay. So much character! Grabbed a long chip dd-3 and A diamond memory lane jr. and I can't stop with the digital delays now! So many different textures!

How do you like the Chandler? I have 4 of them. One of them is the SDE2, it has the input control knob. I’m going to get a tech guy to install some input level controls on my SDE originals. Have you ever played it in stereo, getting that wide phasing trick? It’s almost as big sounding as a TC 1210 Spatial Expander.

@@zenlandzipline Awesome! I would love to track down a backup. It is currently my favorite delay of all time! I have used it in stereo it is quite a sound! The modulation is truly exceptional. I thought it was a little extreme at first but I love it with a slow speed and lower depth. Mine is the original without the level adjust. Haven't noticed an issue with the input level with any of my amps. I built a 4u mini rack with british racing green tolex (looks like a head shell) for the rack delays. I run them in the effects loop with a small loop switcher on my board. That way I can easily use them in the studio or bring them to play out if I am feeling like going over the top.

@@heyitsmekid the SDE 2 doesn’t sound as good as the originals. They ran out of the chips they were using for the original when they started making the 2. Don’t waste your money on the 2. It really doesn’t have that magic sound. Also, some history: the Chandler SDE is actually an old delay pedal made by a company called Vestax. Paul Chandler had the guts of the Vestax pedal put into a rack and added the faux stereo outs. That pedal was very cheap. If you open your SDE, you will see there isn’t a whole lot going on inside. It has a great sound. Some people call it the “poor man’s PCM 42”. I have a bunch of high end rack gear (Eventide Eclipse, Lexicon PCM81, TC 1210, etc) but the Chandler is really cool cool, especially for the money.

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 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.

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.

Great video as always, and one that has gone to prove once again that I have been sleeping on the DD-3. I hate myself for this next part and please excuse this awful pedantry, but it's the one thing that drives me mad: sample *rate*; bit *depth*; **_never_** bit *rate* (unless you're talking about compression algorithms).

El duderino's after 20 years of playing through digital delays, I finally took the analog plunge & bit on a chunk of JAM. My Delay Llama Ex is showing up here in mere minutes. ...and you guys are already making me want a digital delay! lol
