I've been happiest with the three head ratio of the RE-301 for years (130ish/260ish/720ish), and variants of that.

If I use longer stuff it's usually around 2s.

I have the time knob on my meet maude pretty much always pointing at the top right corner. It;s pretty quick. Works for everything.

I dunno what MS that is though.

This is before dirt. Longer Digi delays at the end.

For boring postrock delay tones I have a dual delay preset in the H9, one at ~300ms and another one at ~1s.

For the weird pitch shifted delays I just tap the tempo.

i like things around 250ms. about 8 repeats. that ends up sounding nice and distinct when you need it to, but also gets mellow and soupy with chords and such

I like everything up to about 500ms, my favourite range is probably around 250ms, nice and washy.

This man is an addict.

A fav, even default DMM setting of mine is for some depth and a faux-reverb effect:
Shorter Delays w/high Feedback setting, 95% dry Blend so the repeats are barely audible. Needs to be a DMM or a real tape echo due to the repeats' decaying on a gradual taper.

I like using all types of delays w/longer times to play in the pocket between the repeats for rhythmic, even percussive shiz:
Guess I'm a fan of intervals...300ms, 330, 400, 500, 600, 660, 800, 900, 1s 1.2s etc. They're extra useful for developing timing when practicing, even in the writing process when feeling out tempos.

8th in 140 bpm
140 bpm is my life
Any day with this delay
Setting i'm in love
My heart beats
With you
As my lungs do

I've found that for me it's more about the amount of repeats than the delay time. I will note that I only use really long delays for loop layering with repeats that trail off

Medium with lots and lots and lots and lots of repeats.

How are you guys so sure of your MS? I just whip a knob somewhere and then adjust to taste.

I like to have both.
I also like to stack them together.
I like the short one analog and the long one digital.

No need for tap or to sync them.
Imperfection is what's best.

Digital delay with display?

But, yea, pick, adjust, repeats.

I tend to go with 300-350 for most stuff, and occasionally a really short slapback.

Yeah, I keep my Maude pretty tight as well - my favorite use for it is practically a modulated reverb. Super short repeats, long feedback. So good.
