I think my Boss DD-20 sounds great.
Have a look at the Nova delay too.
Hi Everyone,
I'm in the market for a good sounding delay pedal. I've had a Boss DD-5 for a long time but I sold it. I'm looking for something that will give me more of a warmer sound like an old tape echo, but with versatile controls to cover lots of different things. I'm willing to spend more $ for something that really sounds good. I use delay alot for doing accompaniment parts behind vocalists, etc. I use delay efffects and volume pedal swells to add spacious sounds, and sometimes use the whammy bar to imitate pedal steel sounds. I want something that sounds really warm and spacious.
Here are the ones I'm considering:
T-Rex Replica Delay
Boss RE-20 Space Echo Delay
...
Any others that I should look at?
Some of the features that I'd really like to have:
- good simulation of tape echo (without the tape, and reliability problems)
- tap tempo
Thanks for any suggestions.

My instructor's Nova was good sounding I thought. I love the sound of my MXR Carbon Copy, and I think it covers the warms sounds you are thinking about, but no tap tempo.

Line 6's Echo Park works well for me...!

The Boss DD-20 looks awesome. It has several different delay modes and presets, plus tap tempo. I could really use this. The youtube clips sounded very good for the modes that I would use (tape echo and modulation mode) I will check out this one for sure.

I love it Jim. Best delay pedal I have ever used. In order to use tap tempo in a convenient way, you should also get the FS-5U - http://www.bossus.com/gear/productde...p?ProductId=57
Makes it easier to do tap tempo.

I REALLY like using a Nova Delay for several reasons....
1: best rhythm delay settings
2: small in size
3: it can light up a baseball stadium
MXR analog FTW!!!

I checked out the Nova delay pedal online. This one looks awesome too. I think that either one of these (Roland DD-20, or TC Electronics Nova) would be great for me. I have to decide which one would work best for my setup. I'll try to test drive these at Guitar Center. That's the only way to know for sure. The user reviews on both of these seem to be very good.
I like that rhythm feature on the Nova for setting the delay time, that's kind of cool.

did you see the vid I found of the Nova when I was shopping for a delay? It was pretty impressive. It was in my delay shopping thread: http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=9184Originally Posted by jpfeifer

I've been gigging pretty heavily with the DD-20 for the last two years and it's been great. I think the Nova is probably a better pedal but the DD-20 has an interface that's easier to use.

The TC Electronic Nova Repeater Delay is the baby brother to the Nova delay pedal..Easier interface + it s cheaper..

I've got the DanEcho. It's pretty low-fi but people say it's got a nice tape echo sim that sounds pretty warm. I'm not a delay expert, but I like it.

Have a look at the new model Tech21 Boost DLA with tap tempo and tape sim "flutter" control. Pretty simple but sounds great. The vid shows the old model without tap.

I have the first model along with the Boost RVB. I love it. I would seriously consider this great pedal.Originally Posted by markb
You might want to check out the smaller version of the Line 6 M13 called the M9 that will be coming out the beginning of October. The delays are fabulous and you can stack 3 of them or whatever other effect you might desire for not much more $ than the Nova or Boss units.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
I just bought an MXR Carbon Copy and love the warm analog sound. I read up and decided against a few other delay pedals, mostly due to them failing all too frequently.
I ordered it Friday night, as in late, and it showed up Monday noon. Sweetwater even threw in candy and a Dunlop Ultex 1.14 mm sharp pick. Nice to do business with!
Edit: Dunlop demo...
