BEST Analog Delay pedal

[davidkiddmusic]

Looking for very warm, preferrably Tap tempo, ANALOG Delay pedal, with potentially longer delay times if there is a pedal out there like this... ? Any suggestions?

I already have the Maxon AD999 so please mention something other than that if you would.

Thanks.

Memory Lane. Only 550ms of delay time but it has tap tempo and sounds great. I got one last week and I dig it.

well....it's not really analog all the way, but the Carl Martin "Delayla XL" is a really nice pedal! Got it my self, and love it! But it IS NOT analog all the way!! Give it a try, anyway! The memory lane I haven't tried, but it looks like a nice pedal too!

[andershoeg]

BTW, it has got 1.000 ms delay.

If you can get by with 550 ms. (and I can), the Memory Lane is wonderful. It has its own unique coloration, and it sounds really good. I've gotten lots of compliments on my sound since I got it about a month ago, replacing my Gigadelay. It's really earned a place on my board, and that's where its staying!-Eric

The Maxon is pretty good to put it mildly.
The rest is just how you want the colour of your sound.
But the Maxon has all one could ever need in a serious good delay.

I'd also say that the Maxon is the best you'll find, at least at a reasonable price.

If you want more than what it offers, I'd suggest the Line6 DL-4 or Echo Park. While they're digital modelers, not analog, they can get a warm sound while giving you a wider range of options than a straight up analog delay.

I only know of one analog delay with tap tempo - the Memory Lane. That's it's big claim to fame.

It may be a good analog delay, but there are a bunch of those. And it may do modulated analog delay, but there are others that do the same (EHX DMM, Ibanez AD202, Yamaha E1010). And it has the expression pedal input to control feedback, but so does the Moog. And it may have an effect loop, but so does the Moog. And I imagine an effect loop can be added to most existing analog delays.

It all depends on your specific needs/desires.

I am not knocking the ML, just saying that it is the only delay that meets the feature set you specified.

If you're a purist this may not be for you but for me the best delay pedal I have ever had is the T-Rex Replica. Really does not color your tone. Its analog in/analog out with some digital monkey business in between

Andersonguy, I have one of those too. I like it for its features but it sounds a little too digital for me at the same time. I just wish I could find something with the sound of the AD 999 with the features of the Replica. I have both on my board but I guess Im just seeing if there was something out there that I didnt know about already.

Thanks a lot guys.

AHEM

the thread is "BEST Analog Delay pedal" with 9 replies and no one mentions the Toneczar Echoczar? why, cause its a 6 month wait right now? too expensive? seems like the clear winner to me... yes the Memorylane seems nice, i owned a Maxon AD80 and 900 and they were cool too, but if were gonna talk about the BEST, in order id have to say check out:

Toneczar Echoczar
Moog Analog Delay
Diamond MemoryLane

Actually, the Cornish TES costs over twice as much as the Echoczar, and it's a 6 month wait (at least before you can even get on the waiting list)!!!

I have DMM, AD900, MemLane, Echoczar. It`s all good for different jobs but if I had to live with just one ............

the Ecoczar

Too bad it's digital, huh? Which negates it for the purposes of this thread
