Recommend me a wild delay pedal
Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
So many fun delay pedals out there.
For the hazy washed out thing, I’ve been really into the Demedash pedal I traded for. It’s got loads of character. No tap tempo, but I don’t miss it.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Realistic Sound Mangler- I mean Realistic Electronic Reverb. Mine doesn't give pristine, beautiful delays and reverbs. Nope. It sounds like it looks- cheap and plasticky. But it's a whole lot of fun! Great for gritty, lo-fi analog reverb & delay effects. It almost acts like a fuzz pedal if it's pushed hard enough. And sometimes that butt-ugly tone is exactly what you need.

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
The story on this device, if I remember right, is that the notoriously cheap owner of Tandy bought a whole bunch of BBD chips that had failed inspection (and thus were to be had for next to nothing) and charged his engineers with the task of finding something to do with them. Basically the circuit was designed to avoid whatever conditions caused the chip to fail, & the result was the electronic "reverb"--they're noisy as all get out, but cool in their own special way.

Oh man in the early days of my band we had one mic routed through this at all times. It was terrible magic.Dubmaniac wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 2:14 pmI'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Realistic Sound Mangler- I mean Realistic Electronic Reverb.

Haven't thought about it in years and now I want one again. Damn you!

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
The Avalanche Run by Earthquaker Devices is pretty fun, can do some crazy stuff if you get the expression pedal. There's a reverse delay option too. And reverb. And in stereo it sounds lush and wide.

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
Big fan of Earthquaker Devices and Jamie's creations - the Afterneath can get you square into that cloudy dream space occupied by the likes of Eno or Harold Budd & John Foxx. The Disaster Transport Sr. is a dual delay that can get wild due to it's variable routing options. The separate delay channels can be each used solo, in parallel, in series or in series/parallel, so the resulting effect can get quite complex and rhythmically rich.

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
Have you tried any of Malekko Heavy Industry's stuff? I had their delay for a while, EKKO 616. It's analog. I leans on the crispier side of things to my ears, but sounds really good. The modulation can get crazy. Definitely does the oscillation mayhem thing with ease. I sold it, of course, and I've always regretted it. I own 2 DMM now and I like one of them more than any delay I've ever tried, but the 616 always stuck with me as one I should buy again.losthighway wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:38 pmLong story I used to have one of the original Subdecay Echoboxes, actually before that I had an EHX Memory Man. When the pedal (and all of its neighbors) were stolen out of my car, I replaced it with the newer version. What they had done was class up the box, make it more subtle, less pushy, more like the MXR Carbon Copy. It creates echos that tend to want to space themselves behind your clean signal, the gain structure is pretty polite, kind of an extended echo working like a reverb pedal (to my shoegazey ears) in that it adds dimension without taking over. You have to really jack the dials to get it to oscillate, or make any kind of mess. It's a handy pedal, but I sometimes need broader, more psychedelic strokes.
Short story who knows of a delay pedal that tends to make big clouds of echo, and can slip into analogy (don't really care if it's actual or digital) smear, oscillation, and semi-controllable noise when coaxed. I need a dangerous delay.
I've never really gotten into any of the more multi-function delays that I've tried, so I don't have anything to add about the more far-out ones. It's my favorite effect by far though.

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
Don't overlook the fabulous Ibanez DML 20 from the eighties. It's a digital delay with modulation, sort of like a pedal version of an Effectron. With short, conservative settings, you can get delays or chorusing or flanging, but when you start widening things, it can get pretty nuts.

Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
This sounds captivating.
Goddamn, that Effectron. No matter how lush my reverb unit, or warm my tube compressor, nothing ever turns heads in the control room on a mix session like that Effectron. People who wouldn't stop talking during the session suddenly stop, put down their drink and go, "Wait a minute..... What.... Is..... THAT?!".
One of my collaborators almost named his album Effectron in tribute to it.
Edit: also bonus points, the DML 20 is a super ugly looking box, which somehow makes it even better.
Re: Recommend me a wild delay pedal
An old Ibanez DM-1000. The 500's are OK, but the 1000 has the Hold button.
It's diry, grainy, nasty and fun
Edit: I see Chris Garges mentioned an Ibanez already, it may be the same or similar, I need to check that out, but wow the prices on them have gone up, I got a pair for $40 a 500 and a 1000 together ages ago.
Extra Edit: They also almost sound better when the pots get old and scratchy, they get wild.
