Visual Sounds Liquid Chorus/Delay. All in one and very adjustable. Have a couple and have used them for years with no regret.

The TC2290 is the biggest of them all. Very expensive and hard to service these days.

Roland SDE2000 is another classic.

And let's not forget the Korg SDD3000, which is the original delay of choice of The Edge. The original is ridiculously expensive but Korg released a pedal version years ago that sounded convincing.

I once tried to acquire delays by the type of chip inside like the MN3xxx and those Reticon chips. I have an old DOD Delay 680 with an SAD4096 in it. It means nothing now as Behringer seems to be making versions of them. But back when Panasonic announced they were going to stop making those chips, these chips were the beez-kneez.

The Carbon Copy is my favorite normal production delay. I have a Skreddy Echo on order but it'll be a few months before it's ready.

I've owned Deluxe Memory Man, Chase Bliss Tonal Recall, the DL4, several Boss delays, several rack delays. Idk I'm far from a delay expert but the Carbon Copy has always worked for me in every band I've been in but my delay needs gravitate toward murky repeats that don't overpower the dry signal.

Have you tried their Echoplex pedal? I want an analog delay and I'm trying to decide between the CC and the Echoplex...

I was surfing for unusual pedals tonight and I ordered a used one about two hours ago on Reverb.
It's in the delay family but they're calling it an "active feedback loop".
It's more for shoegazing than rockabilly... sounds like something The Edge in U2 would use.

The Eventide TimeFactor can be found used for about $200 on Reverb. Obviously a digital processor but, it does it all.
Listen with headphones because, not only does it do it all, it does it all in Image :rawk:


Reverb has one for $198...

Not big on delay, but I do have a few. What I currently have:

J Rockett Clockwork
Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe
TC Flashback x2
Ehx Canyon

I currently have the clockwork and EHX canyon on the board. I use the EHX exclusively for the octave setting, and the clockwork for delay, plus the always on boost on the clockwork is pretty awesome.

I haven't tried that one but the specs sound pretty sweet. I think that one is a digital delay with an analog dry path while the CC is entirely analog.

I've used the CC since... 2007 or so. I've tried replacing it with high end delays, vintage delays, actual tape delays, etc but it's become part of my tone.

DOD Rubberneck, look of neat features and it's also got an effects loop in it for some even crazier sounds.

I'm currently running:

Empress Vintage Modified Super Delay
Diamond Memory Lane 2
Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run v2
Strymon El Capistan


The Avalanche Run and El Cap are the ones I find myself going to most these days. The Avalanche run has a really great digital reverb to it as well.

I've been using a variant of the Pigtronix Echolution 2 for probably damn near a decade now- had the original E2 Deluxe for a couple years and loved it - it got stolen and then I bought the E2 Filter Pro and have been using that ever since

ahhh that's good to know. I want an entirely analog pedal, so the CC is the right one.

I use a Carbon Copy in the tribute band I play in. I set it to a very short repeat and it stays on all the time. It fattens up the tone without having to increase bass or mids and it adds a slight coloration to the tone which I like.

If I need a clean delay I use a DD-3.

I don't have any extreme uses of delays and verbs, I just like a little bit. Those two pedals have handled all my delay needs for the past 15 years.

I’m using a source audio collider at the moment. It just covers a lot of room with only one pedal. I haven’t experimented with any of the behind the scenes features and am still learning some things. But it does sound damned good. I tend to gravitate towards the tape delay and oil can delay a lot.

I also use a gamechanger audio light pedal which has some delay like settings on it. It’s a super weird pedal that takes some time to understand but produces some sounds I’ve never heard from a delay or reverb pedal.

90% of the time I use my HX FX for all delays..... but if I'm just piecing together a small jam board I have a Wampler Faux Tape Echo and a Mooer Ana-Echo.... the Wampler does a real nice modulated delay and has tap tempo so I use it for mostly rhythmic shit.... the Mooer is just a nice basic bitch analog delay... kinda dark but not overly so, real nice on leads
