Advanced Delay Pedals

[Adoom]

I'm probably picking Timeline up around Christmas. I'm definitely picking up an El Capistan within the next month.

I recommend the former for your needs. I recommend the latter in general.

[hbombgraphics]

that is the one thing the time bender won't do that I wish it did, run delays into each other.
It's why I still keep 2 other delays on my board.

[sylnau]

eventide timefactor for overkills? Um can you run delay patch into delay patch on the superdelay?

No. (or if so, I don't know how)

[DarkAxel]

Wait so Superdelay doesn't have multihead delays?

[Holy Schnikes]

Another Timeline vote here.

It quickly replaced all of my delay except the E600d. Plus it's a pretty tiny footprint considering the shit ton of options/features included.

The looper sounds fantastic too and can be used pre or post delay, with all delay modes and parameters available. Sounds way better than the Timefactor to me. Haven't had the opportunity to try a Superdelay, hear nothing but praise.

it mean you cannot run patch 1 into patch 2.
Like if you have a revers in patch one and a tape delay in patch 2... you cannot run them at the same time.

You can do rythm delay.

SD specs:
Features & Specifications
Killer Sound Quality - The Signal to Noise ratio is around 105dB.
2.8 Seconds of Delay Time - For your extra long delays.
8 modes - normal, tap, autoset (delay time is set by tempo played), reverse, rhythm mode (multitap), tape mode, misc (dynamic, gate), and 12 second looper.
Expression Pedal Input - allows you to control either mix or feedback with your foot.
High Pass/Low Pass Filter - high pass is good for electronic music, low pass is sweet for darker analog delay type sounds.
Fast/Slow Modulation - slow adds extra texture, fast is a little crazy.
8 Presets - Settings can be saved to 8 presets. With three stompswitches, accessing the presets is easy.
Tap Tempo with Ratios - many of the modes use tap tempo, and the ratio selection makes fast in-time delay times easy.
True Bypass - The Empress Superdelay employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.

sorry i was a bit confused right

[sylnau]

I'm not too technical... it sound great thats all I know. *LOL*
I probably not using 50% of it's function.

[rfurtkamp]

Timebender here as well.

I have other delays as well, but it's the 'first go to' unless I want retro shredder-era pan around the room stuff. It does panning and stereo field well, but isn't as adjustable as my rack units.

[oldangelmidnight]

Another plus for the Timebender - a used one costs half as much as the fancy shit.

I paid 100 for mine used!

and that's why i'm holding back and still keeping my Wampler FTE and not buying it because i'm afraid i wouldn't use it enough for over 300€ used

(and i'm really intrigued by Dispatch Master)

[MaxMaps]

I wanted to ask Superdelay users...

a)did it replace every other delay on your board?
b)Can it do that?
c)Does the tape echo blend well with dry signal?

a) I have had 3 other delays all different ranges. It can easily cop those sounds and more, and I have yet to scratch the surface.
b) yes.
c) mix knob is your best friend, going from super wet to just a little on the top.

-Empress Superdelay (digital but sound great)
-DMB Lunar Echo

Im really liking the Lunar Echo so far. Anymore?

The Lunar Echo sounds great, has spiffy modulation, wrecked mode and a take-off footswitch, new version comes with an FX-loop. It's my and theactionindex's favourite delay, but it doesn't have as many modes as the timeline, superdelay or Echolution. Then again, it's delay, you need at least 2 pedals, so you can get one of the feature laden ones and add a Lunar Echo, which has wait list.

[theactionindex]

I guess it all depends on what would suit your needs best. The Lunar Echo isn't super packed with tons of modes and features but what it does gives you a boner, it does exceedingly well. The modulation is incredibly fun, going from very subtle chorusing to all out wacky pitch bending shit, in addition to anything you want to put in the fx loop and you have a pretty wide array of possible sounds. (and it is indeed my favorite delay )

The Superdelay is also great in its own right. You can obviously achieve longer delay times without self-oscillation, various modes of reverse delay, a short but fun looper, etc. and despite being a digital delay it's far from sterile sounding. It has a very subtle, but great sounding modulation with a few selections regarding intensity in the tape setting and high/low pass filter options.

Or buy both and have the ultimate ill type delay sound.
