Hardware Delay for Vocals
Hardware Delay for Vocals
I'm looking to get old school dub style delay on vocals in a live and rehearsel setting as well as recording. Very early Jane's Addiction/Perry Farrell vocals would be a good reference. He used the Ibanez DM1000 rack unit. I'm looking to get something new that may have a similar sound. Hardware only. Any suggestions?

In order of preference:
Chandler Digital Echo
Fulltone Tube Tape Echo
Alesis MidiVerb 4
Line6 DL-4
All the above have a fairly analog-sounding delay, (what you'd want for dub, IMO) except the Fulltone which really IS analog, not sure if they still make the Chandler.

what no mention of the Deltalab Effectron? I (and a few other fellas on this board) love those delays. I dont have a functioning one right now, but they sound great. Just don't road them too hard as they seem to quit if you expect them to take a 4-5 foot drop off a stage and function.
They do have a nice soft sound, the delays can be modulated as well. It also does flange and phase with positive or negative feedaback. Delay times vary depending on the model. I have seen 256ms up to 1024ms. I heard they also made a 2048ms model but you know, the internet is full of bs.
Oh yeah, the pedals being sold at GC these days with the deltalab name/logo have NOTHING to do with the originals.

I just picked up a blue face adm 256 effectron at a yardsale in front of a drum shop. It cost me 15 bucks. I have another one just like it and it is broken. I was hoping to get one that works from the pair and maybe even get a longer delay out of them. I like the noisy washed out character of those particular delays.
I'm a bad man!

another vote here for the old DeltaLab DDLs, specifically the Effectron and Super Time-Line units.
note: i'm NOT talking about the bullshit Musician's Friend/GC Chinese crap pedals that are now badged as DeltaLab.
