Is a delay pedal worth it?
Why do you need a delay pedal? It can help your chorus, phaser and own sounds become clean. A delay can make a bland part interesting, make a solo sound huge, and add depth to rhythm parts that wouldn't be there otherwise, and make everything brilliant. They can make a simple part sound more complicated.
How do I get the most out of my delay pedal?
The echo reverberates back at you almost instantly, so set a short time of approximately 150ms. The echoed sound is almost as loud as the original sound since it doesn't have very far to travel. Set your Mix at around 60-80 percent. The echoed repeat happens once, so set your Repeat knob between 0 and 20 percent.
How do you use delay?
Put your delay between 5 to 20ms on one side, and between 15 to 30ms on the other side, and make sure the times are not the same. Then pull the volume on the hard panned signals down until you don't really hear them much. This creates the effect of a mono instrument that spreads across the stereo field.
How do analog delay pedals work?
Analog delay pedals usually rely on a bucket-brigade device (BBD) chip that sends the analog signal through a series of capacitors, one step per clock cycle. ... Analog delays can sound extremely musical and pleasing, and some guitarists don't like their signal to be converted to digital if they can help it.
