What's your favorite use for delay?

[01010111]

no offense but y'all always seem to talk about about the same uses for delay, so idk whats with all the "gettin weird"


its all about using a pseudo-live-loop, imo

Sometimes I use my Ibanez DDL as a paperweight

El Cap that creates like a wash type of sound into my SMMWH using the reverse delay. I like that. Use my Memory Boy for slapback style delay every so often. So many flavors of delay to dial in. Love it.

I use the analog delay built into my keyboard set right before its about to oscillate. Makes for nice industrial sounding swells. Sounds nice before some fuzzes. With guitar I always end up playing between the repeats like its challanging me to a dualing banjos kinda thing. But in song playing, I only use subtle delay only with reverb. I don't like delay on its own with guitar.

lately I've tended to use delay times under 50ms to turn delays into filters/phaser/flange/chorus/slapback/reverb/bitcrushers etc

I really like dark tape sounding delays that LINGER under what you play and never really go away

infinite noise.

This.

I've started falling in love with my timefactor but only for rhythmic dual tape delays. Is there something else out there that will give a similar effect? I don't use most of the modes on the modfactor

Link to a demo using that particular effect on the Timefactor?

May be able to point you in the right direction but I don't have a Timefactor!

i don't really have access to recording stuff atm but basically just something with dual delays and a lot of parameters. I know the timeline can do it and a lot more but i'm not sure what other options there are

Strymon El Capistan can do the classic quarter+dotted eight multihead sound

i'm doing that with standalone no-tap tempo delays... it's a pain in the ass, but i love it and part of the magic is in the searching for the right settings for me
