Tech 21

EQD Avalanche run is a staple of my board. Killer delay. The Dispatch Master sounds more magical though, and is more straight forward. Everyone should have that pedal in their lives. The hype is real

Carbon Copy is pretty hard to beat for an analog delay. The deluxe sucks though. seems cool on paper but it just fucking blows. do not get a carbon copy deluxe.

for a mega analog delay the way huge supa puss was amazing.

Another Carbon Copy user here, and it's the one I use all the time. It's hard to beat as a basic, good sounding analog delay that doesn't cost a fortune.

Also have a TC Alter Ego x4 on my board to give me the option of a bunch of vintage delay models. It's pretty much a flashback x4 with some of the more popular tone prints preloaded. Sounds pretty good, but frankly it gives me more options and features than I need, and takes up a ton of real estate.

Love the Boost DLA - having already two of them and would buy another one anytime. Hard to get a bad sound out of it.

Aside from the Boost DLA I am using the following delays:
- Hardwire DL-8 - Solid digital delay which currently resides in the loop of my cover band rig.
- Malekko Ekko 616 - Close to the Carbon Copy - I just liked the colour more
- T-Rex Replay Box - the least impressive pedal in this list but still okish
- T-Rex Replicator - great spheric tape echo sounds
- TC D-Two - 19'' overkill - is meant to be the digital successor of the 2290 and was going for less than a new Boost DLA when Thomann was blowing out the last units.

So for the Carbon Copy... is the mini version as good as the regular one?

I don’t know about the mini CC but the Ibanez AD9 id another really great all purpose analog delay.

I ordered the Mini Carbon Copy yesterday. Should be here by Wednesday..

The Diamond Memory Lane Jr is my all-time #1. The Analogman ARDX20 is a close second.

Doesn’t the ardx20 kinda act like 2 delays?

I have 3 of them as well lol , 2 older versions like this . Also fantastic but I like the newer (gold) version a little better

Noice. Looks like the Mini has normal and bright mode which should add some versatility.

This thread has reminded me that I need to order a CC to add to the collection. I love simple, meat&potato delay's that sound great.

That said, I love all delays and have a urge to buy the new BOSS Space Echo. Suhr has also just released one that looks interesting. Although it is stupid expensive.

Anyone played the Echosex? Thoughts?

I know Ruiner has (or had) a Gurus Echosex

I have not, but I had a Dawner Prince Boonar and a Catalinbread Echorec.

I thought I would be a big fan of Echorec sims, but the multi head ping pongy repeats just aren't really my thing. They are good for people who have to have everything Gilmour used, but I'm not a huge fan.

The Boonar's preamp alone is worth the price of admission, but yeah its definitely a "character" delay.

Donner Yellow Fall delay. Good budget delay. Sounds great into the front of my Origin.

Convince me I need more AIDS and to buy a Dispatch Master.

I would buy a Skrecho first.

I’m not opposed to a Skrecho but I currently have an El Cap for my Tape Echo needs. And I’m really interested in the thing the DM does.

I don't use FX often. I am extremely picky. I've had one on my board for 3-4 years, now. It will never come off. I've even swapped out noise gates (lolol) since getting one. You will never regret the DM.

On another note. Mort brought over a giant box of crazy guitar noise machines last night, and we dug into em all for about 3 hrs or so. It was really awesome to experience all of these things. Like a different world within the guitar playing universe that I have really only passed by on occasion. Some of these things were amazing. The Black Fountain was really awesome. The Fulltone tape echo machine thing was my favorite. Holy crap that thing was cool!
