Let me begin by confessing my ignorance concerning delay. I've been a minimalist from the get-go and have never really dabbled in it. That said, my head is spinning with all the delay talk around here lately... and now, with the help of a constant stream of Pink Floyd from my iPod, I've got delay GAS! I've researched a bit and listened to some clips, but I'd like some advice.
My current rig: Les Paul BFG > Clyde Deluxe > Dejavibe > Super Duper > Strobostomp > Orange Rockerverb 50. I use my amp's overdrive for all my dirt needs (however, I've been flirting with fuzzes for a bit of variety but I haven't bonded with any yet). Oh yeah, I play mostly classic and modern rock.
I'm looking for a delay that would sound good in front (to save on cable runs) but I am not opposed to running the delay in the effects loop of the Orange. I really want a nice analog (-ish) tone. Originally, I've always thought I'd need a delay with long repeats but as I've been researching and listening to my favorite artists, it seems that 600ms would suffice. Also, I am not sure I would need or use modulation, but I am very intrigued by the possibility. Despite the overwhelming number of choices, my current "shortlist" is:
EHX DMM (w/mods)
Malekko Ekko 600 Bright
Black Box Quicksilver
Freakshow Digilog
Earthquaker Devices Disaster Transport
What would best suit my rig and needs? Opinions for or against any of these? To be honest, I was leaning towards the DMM or the Ekko 600 but some of BB, FS, and ED clips really got the creative juices flowing.
Thanks,
Brad
