Any delay pedal ideas?

[goroth]

YES!!!!

Listen to this man D, he knows what he's talking about!

Envelope controlled delay time.

I was just going to say envelope control of feedback/repeats. Soft notes get 1 or 2 repeats, play harder for more repeats, slam the shit out of the note to get runaway oscillation.

This sounds like an AWESOME idea, especially if you have control in terms of fine-tuning when the envelope clamps back down on the oscillation. It would be amazing to have a pedal that can get that crazy, but that you don't need to bend down to fiddle with knobs live to get it back under control if you don't want.

This is great stuff guys!
It's a delay pedal you control through your playing!

This could be... a thing


I'm interested in a bunch of these other thoughts too...

the ear ad4096 has an infinite loop switch what keeps the repeats going into oscillation under your playing...without raising in volume as tends to happen during oscillation...and you can play over that and it easily transitions to your next note. but of interest...there is an oscillation momentary stomp. you just put the foot down and it goes right into self oscillation. let off and it gracefully falls back to the current delay setting. cool pedal. dual voiced. aux out

Bloody hell that pedal looks unbelievable!!!!

What I'm thinking of is simpler... A digital delay where the feedback amount is decided by initial note attack volume, and stays at that level till there's a tiny space in playing. Then the next note - maybe a quiet one? - decides the next amount of feedback. So it would respond to your playing - according to intensity (ie volume).

A switch to make loud/intense mean lots of feedback, or less feedback (in which case quiet notes would have lots of feedback). So quiet notes would seem really close, and loud ones further away!
(Or vice-versa)

Don't tell me, EHX Super Memory Man-zari Deluxe Boy?

Also, I've got an SIB delay that has a 'slam' switch which is momentary, and swoops the echo up to fastest speed and max feedback, then you release it and it drops back down (with all kinds of nice note bendy dub-ness)...

Thats coool is it possible to have...lets say you are fingerpicking, and you hit the low E really hard, and THAT note gets its "own" delay where you could control the delay/feedback/vol....while the other notes your'e playing get normal delay settings. Or you could strike a chord and it's delay is independently set, while you continue to play with normal delay underneath until you strike another hard transient. and you can set the trigger amount, like with an envelope filter.

you might already be familiar, and its left field. but this one has a LOT of cool ideas in it.
