Okay I have ruined myself...I listened to several reviews on the Strymon Timeline...whoa is that amazing! Then I looked up the price...whoa okay next.

So in the meantime I would like to get cheap < $125 delay pedal that sounds really nice. Im really looking for something that can cover Edge, Gilmore and Van Halen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ron

Freakin Killer delay pedal, bought 2 when sweetwater or musicians friend? was blowing them out at $59 several years ago to go along with the one I already had! Multiple good delay types and while many if not most seem to use the modulated setting I prefer the tape setting. Best tape delay I've had yet!
 
Thank you.

I was listening to several videos on YouTube to the DL8 Hardwire, it sounds a little shrill and metallic to me. The repeats tend to walk over each other instead of fade away, if that makes sense.
 
Love my DL 7. I have a Carbon Copy too and it's badass but not the same level of versatility as the DL 7.
 
Behringer EM 600 Echo Machine. You will not find a better delay for the money IMO...
 
I use a mini flashback for travel gigs, paid $70 used for it! Sounds really good!

+1. Great delay that stays outta the way if you put it in the loop

That's when I got mine too. They seem to be discontinued and the ones that are around are 100+.
To the OP It's not shrill at all. The analog and tape settings are very warm. What you describe as the repeats walking over each others sounds like a delay run into the front of an amp instead of in the loop where it belongs. Boss DD3 is a classic too,but I havent used mine since I got the DL8.If I was you I would buy a few from GC used and return the ones you don't like.

This right here or if you want cheap and analog, a used EHX Memory Toy is fantastic. There are actually quite a few you could grab. The Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail is awesome. Look at used stuff for sure.
 
-if your gonna have it on all the time to "fatten" your tone, go analog, lots of good ones, some come in DARK/BRITE versions, my personal favorite for any kind of modulation, the undisputed king, MOOG, buy a mini Moog-(has expression pedal and a boost function)-and call it a day
 
Not the most popular and it's a little bigger but I really liked my Vox time machine when I had it. They can usually be had for a decent price.
 
I've seen a few pigtronix e2s fall in to the 150 range used since mf has sdotd them at 200.

Incredible kit. And I have a lot of delays.
 
Boss DD-3.
Craiglsist $60-$70. All day.

Sound fantastic and will last forever. Can't beat it.
