Whenever I have a whole bunch of options for something, I tend to stick to just one or two or them. Maybe I'm boring, I like having one really nice flavor.

You get out now! Burn him! Burn him!!! He's a witch a say!!!!!! A witch!!!!!!!






I totally forgot my Rv-3 has delay as well. LOL.

Fuck I need to go count my delays and then by moar.

I have both? I have my nemesis at the end of my chain and my no memory at the beginning. I guess there's also my ct5, but that's usually in the looper modes. But really, my nemesis is plenty quirky on its own.

Open Office.

After going from DMM to Timeline to DMM in the past year, I am definitely an individual delay guy. I currently use a DMM, CT5, and a Boss PS-2. DMM for on the edge of oscillating swirling ambience in the background. PS-2 for low fidelity slapback, pitch shifting, and sampling. Add that metallic texture to things. And the CT-5 for everything a CT-5 can do, infinite creative tool.

My issue with the Timeline is I never felt like diving into it. And even if I did have different presets, I only used one per show. Also most of the parameters I wanted to tweek on the fly were in the sub menu, which was a pain in the ass to get through. So take the lo fi mode for instance. I would rather have the bit rate and filter options on the knobs rather than the time, repeats, etc. Same goes for the pitch shifting mode.

Timeline is definitely a great tool, and I did enjoy using it as a looper with the midi footswitch. But as a delay pedal it was overkill for my needs.

Oh, yeah, I use it as a synonym for 'word'. I'm a pretty funny guy like that.

Ha. I was trying to figure out how that applied. After another jam with the singer songwriter lady I'm going back down to one delay. It's just hard to pick which one. Then the others live on the dreamy pedalboard that stays in my room.

Maybe you need my Meet Maude?

Analog(ish):
Dr Scientist ILF Day Delay

Specialty:
SS/BS No Memory

I just think of the No Memory as something different, it really has quite a few quirks which I can't even describe, that's why I don't use it as a regular delay.
Granted, both the ILFDD and the No Memory are PT2399 based delays with modulation which can reproduce sounds and textures similar to a DMM.

Give me a one trick pony that does its trick very well over a jack of all trades every time, with everything: pedals, guitars, amps. I always seem to keep the thing that has a distinct character over something thats more versatile but bland(er).

Lol last thing I need is another delay. I just preordered the tomkat delay when I don't even have a use for it, unless it just replaces another delay that I'm perfectly happy with. Somehow I'm collecting delays even though it's an effect I use rather sparingly most of the time.

This is how I lean as well. I feel like when I find that '1 thing' part of the fun is seeing how far it can be pushed, hacked even.

I don't need 50 delay sounds in 1 pedal. Just give me a DMM and I'll make do with that. I'll sooner add another delay to it than try for an all-in-one multi fx solution. Not that I have anything against multis...
For a nice compliment to the DMM I'd like to reclaim a Boss PS-2/3 or DD-7. I loathe submenus in gear unless they're a necessity [my hardware samplers]

Hmm. Of a semi-opposite mindset. But also for a whole electronic mix. For drum machines, synths, tape loops, vocals, give me two timebenders or jack of several trades that I can throw where ever i need them and give me one or two or such weirdies, for when I want the particle on a tape loop or a pitch shifting delay on vocals. Call it a day. Had a huge delay and fuzz quest in 2015. Found what worked and what didn't. Gonna move on.
