Delay Pedals for PSG....

Alex Cattaneo · From: Quebec, Canada

There are several threads on the subject if you scroll down this section.

My two cents:

Hard to beat the TC electronics series: Flashback delay and Hall of Fame reverb. Easy to operate, small footprints, lots of different types of delays and reverbs, and USB capacities for updates and more presets.

Also worthy of praise are the Dr scientist reverberator and the Neunaber WET reverb. Those are usually not found in stores though....

The best value is the Digitech RP155. Five or six types of delays and the same for reverb, including the Lexicon reverbs. And lots of other features, for about 100.00.

I have a Strymon El Capistan. Has so many features I have trouble getting a good sound out of it. But it does have reverb built into it. Seems like a lot of folks use the boss RV-3. Delay and reverb.

If you get a Roland XL80 you won't have to buy either a reverb or a delay.

I'm with Alex on the T. C. Electronics Hall of Fame 'verb and Flashback delay.

And though I've never tried a cube80xl, Stephen has a great point. If you need an amp anyway, you'd have money left over for flowers for the wife and cash in your wallet!

Alex Cattaneo · From: Quebec, Canada

Having used a cube XL extensively in the last couple of months, I personally feel the effects it features are basic at best, and "digital sounding", for lack of a better term. They can only take you so far, although I can't say how far you want to go. But if you want a reverb that offers more than what's on the NV 112, the Cube won't give you that.

Think about it this way: a delay pedal typically has 4 controls: time, mix, repeats, and mod or something else. On the Cube XL, you get half a knob and a tap tempo to control the delay, so its very bare bones. Having used fancy pedals for ever, I find the effects on the Cube fairly unsatisfying. But that's just me.

Exemples of stuff you can do with a delay pedal like the Flashback: use a dynamic delay that cuts off the repeats when you play, so the repeated notes only appear when there is a space in your playing. Also useful with the pedal steel, you can have a delay or reverb with a super long tail, but cut down the mix so you get an ethereal sustain without loosing the clarity and articulation.

We all have our own ideas about reverbs and delays, but i just cant agree with Alex regarding the reverb on the Roland not giving you anymore than the reverb on the Nashville 112, i own both amps, and in my opinion the reverb on the peavey is awful, whereas on the Roland, i find it pretty good, the best value outboard i have used is the RP155, the reverb is exceptionally good, i use this unit with when i gig the Nashville 112, but im happy to use the onboard reverb when i gig the Roland 80xl, and as for the delay, well yes it is very basic on the Roland 80xl, but the delay i dial in on it is very usable,i like it anyway, just my two cents worth,

I just got a hold of this (brand new) from a dealer for only $128.99

It's pretty amazing plus nice & small.

I also have one of these > > >

When using the NV-122 I just use either a Boss RV-3
or the DD-20. They both give me the sound that I like.
On my Walker amps I use Lexicon MX-300 and MX-400.
WOW! That is the sound I like better than any other. Very Happy

Just got an Alter Ego, which is the Pro Guitar Shop custom mod to the TC Flashback. Pretty cool little pedal. I'm just using it and the spring reverb on the Nashville 400 I have - pretty great! The TC pedals feature a pure analog path, so your basic tone is never goes through A/D & D/A conversion - the analog signal is passed through clean and the digital delays (which can sound quite "analog-y") are then mixed in.

Here's a sample I did with the pedal:

Hey Bryan, sounds real good. That's the kind of sound
I enjoy. It's a nice warm sound that stays very clean. Smile

The Boss '63 Fender Reverb pedal, Carbon Copy delay. I have 2 of each, 1set for steel, 1for guitar. The reverbs are especially helpful on bouncy stages, when spring reverbs start those annoying crashing noises.

The TC Electronics Flashback pictured above is what I just got recently to replace an old Digitech DigiDelay. I really like the TCE tape delay simulation and the analog sims. I used an Echoplex for years before stompbox delay devices became available.

I use the reverb in my amps. but often turn the reverb off and just use the ambience of a single delay "in time" to flesh out the sound.

Erv Niehaus · From: Litchfield, MN, USA

I see that TC Electronics has another delay pedal called "Transition". What's with all the different models? Whoa!

Keith Currie · From: Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, Canada

I like the Carbon Copy for the analog sound, I also have an RV-3 but I like the reverb in the Nashville 400 so use the MXR for delay

I recently got an Alter Ego too. I'm still putting it through its paces. Some really nice sounds. I'm a little uncertain how I feel about the chorus'y modulation on some of the settings. I was going nuts trying to figure out why I had these chorus warbles going on after I'd shut off all the modulation boxes on my board. Oh yeah--the new delay pedal.
So I've got to learn how to use it still.

of the 4 delay pedals I have Laughing

I like the TC Flashback on the tape setting best for pedal steel. I love the carbon copy for guitar but imo it's a little dark for pedal steel. I really wanted to love the carbon copy as i like the warmth of analog, but the repeats get very dark and almost distort when I play pedal steel thru it. i wont get rid of it tho, i think in some settings it will be a great pedal, just not real versatile. Flashback has a tap tempo thing too, and if you really want that analog sound you can get pretty close with the analog setting on the Flashback or the Boss DM-3 tone print. I really like my Flashback.
I like the reverb on the NV112 personally.

Dickie, sounds like you're all set. Those two pedals will give tons of options and they sound great. About the Boss GE-7, you might want to look into an upgrade kit, either from ANALOGMAN or Monte ALLUMS. They sell upgrade kits that will make your pedal quieter and cleaner.
