It seems like most delay conversations focus on timeline's, el cappuccino's, etc. I'm gonna be delay shopping soon, and I was wondering what people have seen out there that's awesome and not built by Strymon or whatever. Any sweet under the radar delays that don't get enough love because the Timeline is the only delay anyone has talked about for the last couple of months?

DOD DFX9.

EHX Deluxe Memory Boy. All analog signal path, modulation, expression control of 4 different parameters, tap tempo with 5 different subdivisions, fx loop. It's hard to beat the features for the money.

DMB Lunar Echo.
Endangered Audio Research AD4096 Delay.
I really would like to try those two.

Can't go wrong with the EQD Disaster Transport.

el cappucinos

Way Huge Aqua Puss for slapback stuff, TC Electronics anything, and yeah, I like the Boss DD-5 and DD-6

dd7 is great and simple for looping and has really good sound quality. I actually kind of miss it compared to the TimeLines looper when it comes to running dirt through it

I still want to try the former. Have the latter and loooooove it.

i kinda miss my DD7. honestly, as much hate as Boss pedals get, i don't think they're that awful.

Digitech Time Bender is flat out amazing, especially if you buy used and save a mint. The dynamic stuff is better than the TC, and the harmonizer circuit is loads of fun - especially when it can be applied to everything but the looper.

Boss RE-20 Space Echo sim is decent as well, even if i use a real tape one still for that extra 3% and nostalgia, providing you're aware it also echoes some of the quirks of the original, including the fact that it has a distinctive preamp sound even when 'off'. It's not quite as distinctive on the RE-20 emulation versus a
real one, and is half of why I bother with tape still.

But again, either of these will rock on and do it cheap.

If you just want something simple that sounds great/unique, I'd keep a Montavillian Echo on your watch list.
Similar to a Disaster Transport Junior but the repeats are more "wash-y" and ethereal. Sounds bitchin' before fuzz.
This is a more dramatic example, but it shows off the character of the repeats well.

DMB is fuckin' sweet - I've been trying it out, and it's really nice. Very lush & atmospheric. Sits very nicely in the mix. And the osc. button and tape/wrecked hi-fi/lo-fi options are tons of fun.

has anyone played the Guyatone Tube echo?

i really liked the sound of that Llama thing that somebody posted recently. it's crazy expensive, but it sure sounded beautiful.
