Indeed I have. Something about them kind of bugs me.
I just can't dig the sound. :idk:

Yeah, i have one as my main delay on my board (for my band). It does not sound sexy compared to other delays. But it is a good work horse (i like in specific, that it has BPM time and good rhythmic repeat settings). If you are limited to only owning one delay, stay away ;)

I've never played a Nova, it just seemed that it fills all the roles you want from a single delay.

Yeah that was my thought as well, until I tried one. It sounds too... perfect?
I know it's digital, but so are both of my delays right now.

Haha thanks.
I'm pretty sure I might grab a DL-4 now. I can almost do a straight trade for one on craigslist. :eek:
They're not worth much on craigslist here, but SMMH seem to sell for close to new.
Saawweeet.

I have a Drasp DL4 I'll sell you. The DL4 was purchased new in Sep last year and Drasp upgrades done immediately. Upgrades included:
Switch Upgrade
Vol Drop fix
LED change (blue in presets, green in tap)
Exp wheel (this is awesome!)
Charcoal Grey Metallic Powder Coat

The Drasp mod is sweet, the switches are the best part, sooooo much better than the original. Vol drop is now non-existent and the exp wheel is tons of fun. LEDs look super cool and powder coat is said to be extremely durable, haven't tested this though, pedal has been treated well.

yeah, the Novas are the most digital of all digital i've tried

SMMH and DT are also digitals, but sound just wonderfull...

i think that the Superdelay should do it... i'd recommend waiting for the new Strymon Timeline, BUT a)it's gonna be expensive and b)it's gonna be expensive as fuck

my guess tho... but consider it - if you have the cash...

So, just out of curiosity, for you folks that know,
is there anything the empress SuperDelay CAN'T do? or perhaps just won't do right?

Reverse delay?

It can't be simple, afordable, or pedal board friendly. :thumb:

I'm super late to this, but my answer to the original post is this:

I don't think you need to make room, I think you need a bigger board. ;)

if you're going the DL4 route I'd suggest modding it for double the presets. it'd be nice to switch from some of the more extreme sounds you can get from the DL4 to more "classic" delay stuff :D

+1 :thumb:

though MANY stages of the small clubs are just too small if You try to occupy it by a trio with pedal boards. So I understand that sometimes TWO pedal boards per band member just isn't an option. :facepalm:
