Delays like the Lexicon PCM 41

[the aXeman]

Any of you guys know of any "newer" units that sound like/close the Lexicon PCM 41?? I know I've seen some PCM/SDE love on here before... I know Chris Holmes from W.A.S.P. utilized it for his chorus sound by using it for a doubling effect utilizing the VCO section... I'd like to try a similar experiment but I'd like to try to find a newer unit instead of shelling out a few hunge for an older unit that already has a lot of miles on it... I've heard the Hardwire DL-8 is a great start... Any DL-8 guys here that think that'd give me the desired effect? Any other suggestions out there??

DL-8 sounds scary close to my old Roland SDE-1000. The Modulation isn't adjustable on the DL-8, but it's just the right amount. Subtle but adds a ton of width to the tone!

i have no idea how to get different sounds with pedal and stuff because I've used a digital amp pretty much all my life and just started getting other amps, pedals, and gear. Do you know good setting on the DL-8 to get that big/fat chris holmes double-sounding tone?

The DL-8 has become my favorite delay pedal! It truly is a special delay IMHO!

I’ve found that if you really want a certain tone, you need the real thing. They aren’t cheap but it’s the only way.

Look at the Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe.

It has a PCM 42 factory patch. Turn off the modulation & go from there.

Maybe a used MPX 1 will get you close, at least a Lexicon rack sound.

Have one and a PCM 80.....go with the 80, can be had for great deals and it's a lifetime/keeper unit.
