Help me find a DELAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA

[Boxbie]

So I'm looking for a delay with the following criteria:

Digital, for super long delay times (2000ms+)
Able to set regen to infinity for sound on sound fun
Some kind of tone roll off for the repeats (so they're a bit rolled off, not super glassy digital)
Pitch bending when delay time is tweeked
Tails
Tap tempo not required

So, what do you have for me?
I have had a bunch of delays, I'm actually thinking of a meat and potatoes dd-7. What else is out there?

Thanks- B

DOD DFX9.

Everything you asked for except a tone control... but for the price i doubt you'll beat it.

well it rules out pretty much all analog delays. DD7 gets a lot of love. Honestly if you want everything tho, I'd get the DD20. It's an awesome pedal and you can probably get one used for the same price as a new DD7

He also asked for tails, though (which, unless I'm severely mistaken, means the whole "delay trails off when you turn the pedal off" thing)... I don't think the DFX9 does that, does it? (Now, if it does, I will kick myself since it's been my go-to delay forever.)

The DFX9's repeats aren't at all glassy digital-like (I don't like saying "warm," but there is a nice late 80s/early 90s digital crunch to the repeats that I find very addictive) so the lack of a tone control won't be too much of a problem, I guess?

DD7. Most definitely. Another options for damn near infinite repeats on the cheap is EHX's #1 Echo.

The new Supa-Puss according to PGS's website has 3000ms of delay time... but the video and everything else I've seen has 900ms. But that has everything else on your list. And I don't know the delay time but the Flashback x4 has all that too, I think. But those are both $250, which is a good chunk of money.

Mmmm. yeah... I guess i missed the tails statement. dfx9 does not have that...

Thanks for all the great replies.

You didn't miss the tails, I cunningly edited them in after the fact.

But yeah, the dod dfx9 is pretty close to the mark. I just missed one on they 'bay last night.

I'm trying to get away from super complicated big delays that don't take batteries.

Has anyone messed with the hardwired™ delay?

I've deduced that no small builders have access to chips with that length of delay at the moment, so I'm investigating the big boys.

But cheers, keep em coming!

[madmax1012]

out of curiosity, how much did that DFX9 go for?

[Boxbie]

a buck more than i bid at $70.00

[hbombgraphics]

Hardwired delay is ok. The footswitch ducks but it can be replaced.

Also; delay on batteries sounds like a bad idea

Fuck, DFX9's are up to $70? I got mine for $40 shipped about a year and a half ago.
