Hey all:

I'm looking into getting a delay pedal that has the following features. I've seen quite a few that have some of these features but not all. Any suggestions would be helpful, although i'd prefer to stay away from the more pricey pedals.

Here's what i'm looking for:

-Multiple delay types (analog, tape, digital, etc.)
-Dedicated Tap Tempo switch
-Port for external Expression/tap
-Can tap tempo in while pedal is disengaged
-Saving Presets
-Can self-oscillate

Any thoughts? Thanks!

TimeFactor!

from a guy that wants a timefactor
but cant afford it
vox delaylab does all that

Doesn't the Empress VMSD do all that? The only one I'm not 100% sure of is the the tap tempo while it's disengaged, but I'm pretty sure it can.

I read that it does not allow tap tempo setting while disengaged. Is that correct, or is this feature present?

No, that is correct. No tap tempo unless the pedal is engaged. Probably my only gripe with that pedal.

Yeah the VMSD does that and you can find them for $300 on the gc used. That's where I got mine a few months ago.

Line 6 m5 if cost is a big factor. There was a timefactor around these parts on CL for 250 so yeah that's not too bad cost wise.

OK thanks!

The Delaylab doesn't do tap tempo when disengaged, as mentioned above (although I do think it sounds really good). I don't think the DL4 does either, although I'm not sure. The Eventide, Empress, and Strymon definitely do?

Empress SD is awesome!

Time bender does all that and more.

Thanks all for your replies! I've heard that the TimeBender is really feature laden but is lacking in the tone department. Anyone have any experience with it vs the DD-20, Flashback x4, etc? ANy other suggestions? I guess my main wants would be presets, multiple delay types, tap + tap when disengaged, and trails (forgot to mention that one). Does the M5 do trails?

Breaux here have been super stoked on the timebender:

There's one for sale here, too.

Not trying to say buy it now, but I have yet to read a bad thing about it.

Dd20 does everything but self oscillate I believe
