Does anyone know of a delay pedal where you can set the speed of the delayed signal repeats? Like if you had a tape that you played back more slowly. I know you could do this with a looper, but most looper pedals are expensive, and I don't actually want to loop anything, I just want a delay that's slowed down. Even better: slower and slower repeats. Even better: throw pitch-shifting into the mix, e.g. slower and brighter repeats.

You mean like the repeats are played in eg. double speed or half speed? I think this is the goodbye24/ct5 effect. It would most likely be doable in something like max/msp too

I think you need a Red Panda Tensor, that's the only pedal I can think of that does all that. Maybe a CT5. Cheap option would be Ibanez DML10, but that just has an LFO that slows down and speeds up the repeats. Cool sound but maybe not what u are looking for.

Looper pedals are expensive? This is news to me. My buddy had a Hotone Wally, very cheap and and the loop can be slowed down, but periodically it would make a horrible, loud digital noise so it's kinda unusable.

@qersty I don't know what «the goodbye24/ct5 effect» is, or what «max/msp» means.

@frodog The Red Panda Tensor looks sick! Now I just need to save up for a year.

I think what you're looking for is an 80Tape In Limbo

It's easily doable in max/msp but then you need $400 software plus a computer rig

The Mr. Black Downward Spiral pitches down the delays as it goes but doesn't actually change speed. Still, might be close to the sound you're looking for. I don't know if there might be some way to mod it for expression control of the time knob, that might get you what you want.

This looks cool too. Seems to be rare though! Only one listing on ebay.

the goodbye24/ct5 is a delay pedal by montreal assembly (multi_s). Max/msp is a visual programming language, sorta like a modular synth but not as 60s.

The tensor does delay btw? I thougt it was """"real time"""" slowdown only or does it actually got a feedback loop in it?

You can use it as a single-repeat delay if you use next mode and set up the tempo with the left footswitch. Basically it loops what you play for the time set and plays it back once, while recording what you play meanwhile and then play it back once, and so on. It's useful if you want almost real time tape-reverse effects or weird artifacts, i use this mode a lot.

Anyway, going back to what VREEEEVROOOOOW asked for, at this point i think my best suggestions would be the CT5, the Red Panda Raster, or the Red Panda Particle in pitch mode. Catalinbread Bycicle delay might be an option too for everlasting stairs of ascending/descending pitch, though not super easy to deal with because of really sensible knobs.

Is $200 still expensive?
That's what a used Timefactor is going for.

Sick burn

Just for clarification: pitch-shifting isn't make or break at all to me. I've already got the PS-3 meeting my needs. It would be fun to experiment with, what I'm really after here is primarily just slowed down delays, preferably so that you can make each iteration more slow than the previous.

you need like a Digitech Digidelay that has an LFO or envelope or something controlling its time knob.

I wonder if some rack shit could do this

i second the Montreal Assembly Count to 5, and also will add the Catalinbread Bicycle Delay.

pretty sure i can change the speed on my re20 with an exp pedal
