New delay pedal

[marnold***]

Dunno right now. We "invested" in a PS4 so I might have to hold off until my birthday.

Well, apparently I'm getting a Digitech Hardwire DL-8. Musician's Friend has them for $60. Several online places are sold out of them, so I don't know if the line is being discontinued or what the deal is. Regardless, a pedal that typically goes for $160 for $60? Yes, please.

Congrats on the pedal Marnold!
I think you'll like it a lot. The 20 second loop feature is fun to play with, although I use my Jamman for longer serious loop projects.
The modulated delay setting is pretty cool. And the Hardwire pedals I have are built like bricks.

Don't run it on 9v battery power, get an adapter if you don't already have one. They eat batteries like crazy. I tried it once and all the pedals were dying by the end of the gig.
Not good!
With an adapter they're great, though.

Thanks! Yeah, I run my pedals off a 1-Spot so I'm set there. Being able to use it as a semi decent looper is a nice bonus. I'm interested in trying some of the analog models too.

My only concern is that it is back-ordered. When I ordered it the estimated shipping date was the 19th. Now it's January 3. I can be patient for a deal like this. I just hope it doesn't turn out that they won't be getting anymore in. The would make me a sad panda. MF is usually pretty good about this sort of thing, though. Since the holidays are approaching, I can see shipping estimates sliding.

those red witch pedals are cool, they come up cheap on the "hello music" mailers from time to time as well. I bought a used Strymon El Capistan a while back. Amazing pedal that is like spanish to me...i speak just enough to get in trouble.

The M5 list NEW for less than 130$ seems like that may be the best option based on reviews here!

Yay! My pedal shipped on Christmas Eve! Hopefully it should be here by the beginning of the week. My old pedal is beginning to drive me crazy. Yes, it's a short drive.

Cool deal. I used to have one of those reverb pedals but at this point, I've switched to an HD500 whenever I play guitar. I think I'm sufficiently effects-averse to be about to bypass the stompbox route, though I always found it easier to digest things when I had a pedal with a given set of dials vs. an the infinite options of a modeler.

Please update with your impressions of the new pedal. Why is it that you're upgrading again? I might have to go look at the first post and re-read that.

Update: Oh, I guess it's malfunctioning. That makes sense. This seems like it might be an upgrade over that DD-6 anyway.

I'll do that. I'm looking forward to trying the pseudo analog and modulated settings. The looping functions should be significantly better too.
