stacedabass Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 hey i am looking into buying a delay pedal, i dont want anything too fancy, just a simple analog style pedal. I have been interested in the ibanez ad9 and was wondering if any of u guys have had any experience with them, or if you could recommend anything else. Price range i am willing to spend is under 100 squid. Cheers Nick Quote
cheddatom Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Are you sure you want an analog delay and not digital? I know it may sound stupid, but there's a bigger difference than some people realise. As far as analog delays go, AD9 is ok. Quote
stacedabass Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 yea i am just looking for a smooth, simple delay, i dont need too much delay time. Quote
Toasted Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 How much do you really need? I like upto 500ms, and don't think it's too much. Not many analogue delays do that. For £100 I'd hang out on ebay and get a dd-20, for £150 I'd get a TCE Nova Delay Quote
cheddatom Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Heh, Toasted recommending the computer pedals there! Do you know how much delay time you need? Most analog delays are more of a chorus effect, or a subtle echo. If you want a nice digital pedal with loads of variety, including an analog sound, try the marshall echohead. If you can get a DD-20 for £100, go for it! Quote

I also know that not many people are willing to join waiting lists, and pay big money for a 500ms analog delay w/o tap tempo. Quote
cheddatom Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Can you get an analog delay with tap tempo? Weird. I have an analog delay, but I just use it to generate a horrible noise. They're quite good at that. Quote
stacedabass Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 cool cheers guys, i might have to try a few more pedals before i decide, the dd-20 might be a bit too big for my board,l8ers, Nick Quote
Kev Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 i had a analog delay which was very cool and oscilated n sh*t for like 5 days a while ago, before i got my gt-6b cant remember what the make was for the life of me Quote
Kev Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 ARTEC! just hit me but ye, their analog delay is great value, bout £50, not quite as good as my old boss dm-3, but certainly better than anythin digital Quote
