Recommend a Delay

I play bass, and am looking for a good modulated delay with a healthy amount of tweakable options. I would like infinite repeats, like the Strymon Dig but that's not a requirement.

El cap!!! Beautiful modulation, infinite repeats that sits perfectly behind the signal, the secondary knob uses adds a lot features and plus it has a sweet looper that's kinda unique and shit

Echo Degrader!

It's the El Cap's nastier (in a good way) lofi looperless cousin.

And the two of them together is gonzo bonkers kinds of fun.

Deluxe Memory Boy if you want analogz.
Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai if you want digitalz.
Timefactor/DD500 if you want everything.

For bass I'm gonna recommend the Bitquest...sounds good for delay and has other sounds if needed. The good doctor knows his delay sounds.

Lately when I play bass I use the Red Panda Raster
Not sure you could necessarily call it modulated but it does get those sounds and a ton more

I had one before, it was awesome but the GAS attacked and it was flipped. I regret it.

Having owned both the Bitquest and Raster before I am aware of their abilities and I fully consider them as possibilities to buy again.

Another one I've been looking at is the Digitech Obscura.

Been gassing for an Obscura myself. Affordable, compact, stereo i/o, tweakable analogness,...

If it weren't so pricey: Hungry Robot Moby Dick.

Kinda curious about the obscura although there are some things on the polara verb I really struggle with especially in a live situation, mostly functional things not tone things

Obscura is digital though.

Know what I've never tried yet? Minifooger Delay. I really should give that a try, not like I have two rigs to run an Obscura stereo anyway.

It is. Didnt know you weere after an analog delay. Fwiw, the best sounding analog delay sounds I heard came from a digital delay. It was a vmsd, flipped it cause it was a pita to operate. Which is why I wouldnt mind grabbing an Empress Tape Delay someday. But even with more affordable analog-ish digital delays its imo often nearly impossible to hear the slightly different degradation of the repeats when you're in a loud/live band situation, and the digital alternative is usually cheaper and obviously not as limited in terms of modes, delay time, etc...:idk:

You already know that ofcourse, and I'm not trying to talk you into buying a digital delay. Especially not if you're after a minifooger, they're supposedly the shit.

The stereo thing is just nice to have, in case I ever want to mess with two chains, but its not that a big deal for me either.
