I would personally go with a tape-based Space Echo. The tape is easily available and I see RE-201 Space Echoes on the bay all of the time. Last week one went for $500+/- and it looked like it was brand spankin' new. It had me drooling.

Yeah I know it's no space echo....but I've seen these go for about a hundred bucks.
They come up every once in a while,and there's not much info out there about them.
I'm interested analog effects...delay,chorus,phase,reverb,flange...

anyone have any experience with these things?

Thanks,
Harry

I have heard wonderful things about the old Ibanez analog rack mount delays like the DM1000 and such. i have no personal experience with em except for rember using them in the 80's as a kid and thought they were awesome but very expensive back then (of course back then I thought the Rockman was awesome..haha). Now they go for about $100 or less on Fleabay. I hear they have alot of the famous chips (something like 8 or nine of em) of them that DIY'ers like. But just recently people have been talkin about em as being great thing for cheap

I still wanna get one, just cause they are cheap and look fun.

I've been wanting one of these boxes forever. They are very cool. Junior Brown uses one, so it must rock.

They're just really good analog delays that are a step up from the Boss pedals. I believe you can use them at line level. I'd probably pay $150 for one if I saw one.

Besides those, I would really keep an eye out for the old Ibanez AD202 and the Yamaha E1010 analog delays if you want the ultimate.

I wonder what a real tape echo sounds like on 1 inch tape reels.

Rodgre, what delay is a step up from the boss? The one Junior Brown uses?

I had the Roland version of that...and it was just OK, in my opinion. I sold it. I like the Memory Man better for guitar, and I eventually saved up and got an SRE-555 for the rack, which is freaking marvelous in every conceivable way.

The E1010 underwhelmed me...dark, noisy, and, well, not very atmospheric or "creamy". AD202 and Memory Man are both better for guitar. Best is a tape delay. An echoplex into a Fender is sweeeet.

I have had a Boss DM100 for many years. It is a great machine. Short sharp slap backs or long slow murky echoes that are a great alternative to reverb on a vocal. Excellent for dubs and feedback too. Heres a link I just found that has some samples.
