How many of you use one delay setting for rythm and lead?

[primerib]

me. I only use a tiny bit of delay. with maybe 1 or 2 repeats low in my mix to just thicken the overall feel a tiny bit.

 

[metalmaniac93]

I use a tiny bit of delay for both leads and rhythms with the repeat set on 10/99 and around 400-500 ms when using the Roland SDE3000. I have an Analogman modded DD-3, but never use it!!!

One delay, one setting.

I play with a guy that's always hitting his tap tempo for every song. It does nothing to sound better than my delay.

Chandler Echo in the loop of my Bogner 101b. Set to around 500ms and maybe 2 repeats, subtle in the mix. Leave it on all the time.

Nice

one for rhythm (380) one for solos (500) one for spillover (500) very loud with endless repeats.

I agree with Zach, better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it

Most of my rhythm playing is without delay. However, now and then I might want to kick on a short delay and want to have that available. Then, longer delay for leads is pretty much standard.

BTW, love the rack Zach. I have many of the same items, yet have been using Axe FX II recently to cover most effects (that are in the loop). Curious, how is the Eventide 8000 for latency when switching presets? That was what pushed me away from Eventide originally but haven't tried the newer models.

Looks sweet and as was mentioned, like it is a lot of fun!!

Thanks! I like the Axe-FX. A few friends of mine have them and I've helped them w/ their programming. Good stuff

Depending on the type of algorithm. The H8000FW offers something called virtual rack presets, which are a single preset consisting of up to 4-5 full blown stereo processors, and each effect block can control up to 10 parameter tweaks via MIDI CC#. You can also load a program on DSP-A, and one of DSP-B, and toggle between the two to avoid lag time, when a quick switch is called for.

Personally i like to stack delays (in series) so you get that big spacious effect happening... Or if possible use a Multi-Tap delay instead.

For me i find that plain single delays are ok for straight rock sounds, but i like the Delay stacking for the big/wide/dramatic sounding solos. Listen to Michael Landau - Tales From The Bulge and you'll see what i mean

on one of my pedalboards I have 2 stomp delays (DE-7 and DD3), I placed them next to each other and can switch btwn them with one foot stomp.

 

[moltenmetalburn]

I do. One delay analog or high passed repeáts at 3.2 k. Time 500ms sometimes 480ms for a little more blur. Repeats are set for one repeat that is near the loudness of the original and then one or two more. So 1 to three repeats for me.

That's it all the time. Never could get along with longer delay times though I hear them sound great often too.

 

[thiswaythatway]

I think it's best to have one delay in the FX loop, and one into the input of the amp. Certain things work better in the loop and some better out front. When playing VH Cathederal I'd much rather use a delay in the input, and modulation sounds better to me into the input. High gain leads delay is better in the FX loop IMHO.

Genius! I didn't even think of this, one goes off as the other goes on. Poor man's A/B pedal switcher. With those tight couplers between pedals this is totally the solution. I think i could also get away with one setting though, I seem to just play everything on my G2 echoplex setting with a bit of verb mixed in. Never bother changing. For lots of presets though, rack wins.

How about for running to the loop? You just run an extra set of long cables from the loop to the board at your feet or do you guys use simple snakes for this?

Sorry to invade but should I be using a delay for rythym??? Never done that before.

I use a single delay mixed low to create a bit of ambient depth. You don't typically hear it until I stop playing, at which point I'll get three repeats of echo to give the effect of a larger space.

I leave mine sitting on top of my amp with a couple of short patch cords connecting it. I turn the loop on and off with my amp's footswitch.

I prefer Boss digital delays (currently using a DD-5) with high gain. They're a bit thinner sounding than other delays which helps them stay out of the way of the dry guitar tone.

Subtle POST amp delay (200mS) and reverb for rhythm and lead playing. When I switched to the Les Paul, the delay times go to 600mS

 

[zz666]

One delay, one setting - around 550mms - stopped using the tap tempo a long time ago
