Man. SMMH is way more affordable than I somehow imagined. Tons of options in the 70-150 range.

Huge fan of the Lunar Echo. It's analog, but cleans up SUPER nice and crisp in "hi-fi" mode.
If needed you can get a bit of a decay and warble effect.

Disaster Transport Sr is pretty fun and may cover a few bases as it''s two delays and a reverb.

Hard to argue with a Boss RV-3 with reverb and some simple delay settings.

Am I the only one who prefers analog into digital? You can get murky ambience either way, but you can get more texture longer with analog into digital.

I picked up a DD7 recently as a cleaner delay to work alongside my OBNE Black Fountain. It's pretty boring but cuts through and sounds good live. Loads of settings and I have a separate tap tempo pedal that was cheap as balls. Wasn't too pricey either second hand.

Yeah, I'm also in the digital into analog camp. Thought I was unique. :no:

Also, analog into analog. #transparentmojo

how is the DL4 not getting any love?

I'd go for a modded one, more specifically, at least new foot switches, and ideally just the looper switch mod.

I'm of the opinion that a newborn shouldn't have a teddy bear waiting for it in it's crib but one of them greendaddy's instead.

I for one loved my DD-20s and would not mind having another. I think it would be a great match to the Echo Degrader, as it's pretty much the exact opposite end of the delay spectrum. The looper is nice because the readout shows where in the loop you are.

More votes for SMMH or DD-7. One is weirder, the other more practical. Volume drop on the EHX is tough. Definitely not hard to drill out a spot for onboard tap tempo switch in the DD-7, either. But that's what I do.

I ended up ordering an alter ego x4. Got it for just over $100, so even if I don't like it I can get my money back, and I think the combination of three presets and tap tempo is exactly what I need. We will see how it tastes in a few days

When I use analog (vs tape) it's running analog >tape>digital (and more digital).

DD20 is a solid unit, has 5 effective presets (4+manual mode), and tolerates obscene headroom devices.

For a "do anything normal" it'd fit the bill.

after trying the looper I have one of these incoming

http://www.ebay.com/itm/222168672035?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

should be awesome


Nobody has suggested a time bender in this thread which is odd
as far as the analog jank goes I don't have an actual one anymore (maybe I do dminner??) used to run ad9s of some type for years, into dl10 into time bender, liked the ana into the digital more than the reverse order currently use a subdecay echobox for ana style sounds


use

Can i piggyback on this thread to ask people's opinions on the best delay (preferably a multi-delay) with MIDI? After last night's show had a weird failure of syncing between two devices, i kind of decided this might be essential to what i'm doing.

I found the SMMw/H a little squirrelly for typical delay tones, but awesome for weirdo reverses and drone looping.

I recently started using my DigiTech Digidelay again and that's a pretty fun pedal. Much preferred to my DD7.
