New delay pedal

[oldguy]

Hi, Marnold !
I've been using two Digitech delays for about 3 yrs. now. The first one is the old standard "X-series" hundred dollar model.
The second is the Hardwire Digital Delay/Looper, closer to 160 bucks. I like them both, but if I had it to do over I'd just buy the X series. It does all I really need for live playing and home playing/recording. I have a Jamman looper so I don't use the Hardwire in loop mode much. There are lots of choices out there, I realize, but Digitech is what the nearest mom and pop type music store handles, and I like to buy/support local business unless it's crazy expensive or they can't get what I want.

So far both pedals have worked great. The X series is the one I had first. I think I've had it around 8 years. I've probably twiddled with it and stomped on it thousands of times, and it still works great.
Hope you get one you like, whatever brand you buy.

Hey!! Glenn! Great to hear from you!!

Re: the delay pedals, I have really enjoyed my MXR Carbon Copy in terms of sound, but i use it more either as a slap back, or when messing around with long trip sounds. It does not, obviously, have the tap tempo option, and I am no delay expert. but to the extent it helps for me to confirm that it has a really nice sound.

EDIT: I also have a M9, though I have not messed with the delays much. I need to get creative like Tig and some of the others and play with it more. Especially with the tap tempo thing.
