..hi guys.
I know you're sick of me, but eh..
Anyway. Not happy with my EHX SMMH and am hoping for some suggestions, not too fussed about price because I'm not in any rush to purchase and can just save up for whatever will do the trick.
I suppose I'll try to explain how I intend to use delay..
..I'm actually not a big fan of delay - I like how it sounds when other people use it, but I for one can never really get along with it, especially as an always on kind of deal - just doesn't work for me.
That said, I do want to get along with it and I do want to like it - loads of songs I write have delayed parts in my head, but when it comes to playing/recording them, I can never make it interesting enough or match what's in my head.
..what I'm after is a quirky delay, that can do some weird stuff yet still nail nice, warm 'normal' delays - preferably on the darker side as my amps pretty bright as is and I'm not wanting to treble everyone to death.
Something that's fun to use, and has some cool tricks up it's sleeve, maybe weird pitch shifting, weird modulation.. that kind of thing.
But I don't want to be locked into that sound.
I've had a Digitech Timebender before that is actually a really awesome pedal - but the repeats are almost too pristine for the sound that's in my head, even when you make then darker, and you're locked into the crazy stuff when you pick it.
What I've been looking at is the Diamond Quantum Leap - from the clips, it looks like it's got some warm/darkish repeats, and then also some neat little tricks that you're not locked into if I want to spice up a bridge section or an intro (which I definitely want to do - I want something quirky/original).
Are there any other options, or is the Quantum Leap my only choice for a quirky, interesting delay with some cool tricks that DOESN'T lock you into that sound without bending over and messing with the pedal?
I'm actually having a difficult time finding anything else that's along the same lines.
Cheers.
