Understanding Guitar Pedal Delays And How To Use Them
Рет қаралды 479,667
Күн бұрынIf 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.

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 4 жыл бұрын
@@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

Josh, can you explain more about how a reverse delay works? Is it actually cutting up the audio at certain times and playing the input in reverse, or is it using an envelope to give the notes a slow reverse-like attack? +1 to the person who asked about oil can delays. I'd also be interested in hearing about who first put delay + reverb together in a single pedal.

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.

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 think the song “BAD” is a great U2 example of delay use. The guitar part for The Flock of Seagulls song “I Ran” is dependent on delay. 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.

U2’s In God’s Country. You know what I’m talking about, Josh. Any Edge haters out there, just tell them to try to play that song. Sounds simple- but how he dances around with that much delay is so impressive!

Some people always say yeah I learned this or that song ,its so simple i.e. rage against the machine, zz top. I say if it's so simple you write a huge hit oh wait ya can't ,and you never will .until you realize the difference between mastery of technique over mastery of artistry. People that do get it can call them selves the EDGE ha.

Now we’re talking! Big time delay enthusiast here. I actually *just* picked up a Nemesis last week and have barely scratched the surface. I’ve had some great delay units over the years I loved the hell out of the DL4, I(I used two). I’ve had three memory man units (can’t bring myself to sell my last one) the flashback, canyon, an Arion (when they first came out, in a plastic enclosure), the carbon copy (cool for dub but not my favorite overall), and probably a few I’m forgetting. I was influenced by Hendrix, U2, and Lanois (in particular). I like using the DMM with a touch of the vibrato to expand the guitars width, but I really love using delay in a creative way, as an instrument of its own. (My dub release Black Moon Dub Rendezvous illustrates how I use it creatively, for reference). For me, it’s an instrument of modulation and is makes the guitar malleable like sculpting in clay. The great thing about delay is how huge the amount of variety there is out there. But the most important thing about playing with delay for me is - play the pedal and listen. Adjust the delay to work with the music you’re playing. I hear a lot of guitarists play a blazing lead and click on the delay at a random setting and expect it to track with them. Delay is something you need to react to, adjust and modify. It becomes another player in the room. Delay becomes an ally if you take the time to sort out how it can work for your music. Also, I turn my delay off a lot too. Too much of anything is too much. There is a balance to be found between cool and dizzying. I think you should have played the memory man though, for the BB delay type - it is in my opinion much better than the carbon copy and is inimitable. I realize the carbon copy is very popular and it does sound cool, but the memory man is magic! (Just wish it wasn’t so huge and ran on less than 24 volts). I think the canyon gets very close, and it adds a tap tempo. Otherwise another great vid and on point. That’s my 2 cents.

It was 1985 when I first heard the term 'digital delay' I had no idea what it was until it was applied on my vocal at a gig. It was life changing!! It felt like I could sing anything!! Shortly afterwards I bought my first delay pedal... the Boss DSD-2 Digital Delay/Sampler. Just thinking about all this makes me want to nostalgia-buy one of those old ADA rackmount Digital Delays which were popular back then lol

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. :)

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.

I always have preferred creating my own effects with reg delay types. I was adding octaves via a whammy pedal to my delays long before I knew what a shimmer delay was. I use the Line 6 dd4 and have for 20 years. It’s so versatile but you have to experiment with it to get really unique stuff. Great for Ambient music like mine. One trick is to apply it after you’ve recorded your guitar via a line out/line in. Then you can knob tweak and “play your delay”. Using the expression pedal helps you do this too while playing. Great stuff. I’m

Good info on delay pedals. Jimi Hendrix did play several songs with reverse delay but on Red House it was with reel to reel tape delay. 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.
