Modern delays

[Shask]

Delay junkie here.
Love the old Lexicon/ TC 2290/ Roland SDE Rack Delays.
Went through a stupid amount of Delay Pedals searching for something that would get me close to those.
I currently have the Strymon DIG on my board, and nothing has knocked it off thus far.
Sounds Killer!

I like the 2290p and SDE-3000D pedals

Those do sound great..... but the DIG sounded better when I AB'd them.

Love my Keeley Halo. Lots of options and very tweakable. As mentioned above, the H9 does have some great delays also.

Yeah the Halo is awesome, lots going on there. I still only use like one setting on it though (usually just tweak the mix amount on the stock Halo preset), for sure would like to try the new stripped down version

I grabbed a used Strymon Timeline for $300 & never looked back.

I gave up on pedal delays years ago. Fractal ones are sooo easy to dial in and you get scenes where I have 4 variations per pre set. Your welcome!!

I agree, ive tried alot and the fractal delays are amazing especially in stereo, I mean if its good enough for petrucci...
Plex delay and multitap are my favorites.

i use an expression pedal with mine to control mix. i love having a 400-600ms delay on most of the time but very subtle, then i can increase mix when i want it more pronounced. That combined with multiple presets and tap tempo make the Halo a really versatile pedal

I grabbed the original Halo in June of 2022 and fell in love with it.

I picked up the Halo Core in "Plasmaetic Purple", in April of this year.

The pictures don't do the pedal justice (Or is it the photographer LOL. Probably the latter).

Sounds better than it looks! Absolutely glorious in stereo!

The Timeline is a real workhorse. Probably one of the most expensive delays I own, so far - but worth every penny. I only wish I had a MIDI setup to fully take advantage of all that it can do.

Most days I feel like it’s going to waste on my board. I use it just for home practice sessions a lot. I’ll find a simple bucket delay preset, tweak it a little & leave it there for weeks.

Then there are days when I use it for recording, that the array of sounds & ease of navigating them makes it worth every penny.

My favorite pedal! Sounds glorious in stereo.

It absolutely does!

This is one of my favorite demo videos of the pedal, by one of the co-creators, himself!


Laid back, tasteful, and has a nice groove to it. So many other jam bits where he demonstrates some of the other presets on it.

Dang...that's sort of a boner inducing color hahahaha

I hear that.

There is a seemingly endless variation of avenues you can take with this pedal. It’s easy to get lost in the slew of options provided by the interface.
