What about the TC Electronics Flashback delay with toneprints?

Screw the memory man deluxe, it’s got no tap. I’m using the Stereo version with Hazarai. Now that pedal’s the goods!

I’m suprised there is no mention of the Maxon ad-900 or the vintage Ibanez ad-9.

My favorite simple delay (no tap, no midi, no presets) is the Ibanez De-7. It has the best analog sim and the self osc is amazing. The digital side isnt too shabby either. Couple it with a little modulation and you’re set. And they sell for cheap just try to find a newer model without the shotty switch!

Malekko 616 and Retrosonic for analog (that ive heard) TC Nova Repeater is cool (own it)..a bit more basic than the Nova..but was voices round the net that the Nova freezes up due to preset dramas..
No presets no digital freeze i figured

I’m currently using a Diamond Memory Lane 2 which I love. I’m also 1 year in on the 2 year waiting list for the Echoczar. The Echoczar might be the ultimate analog delay pedal available.

I currently use a Boss DD-20 for longer digital delay, reverse mode and the odd bit of looping. Super versatile pedal. It is a powerful machine.

I use an MXR carbon copy for the warmer slap-backs and freaky noise stuff. EHX Deluxe Memoryman is also one of my favs, but in terms of pedal board space and value, you can’t go wrong with an MXR Carbon Copy.

without a doubt doubt the Eventide Timefactor takes the cake!

I’ll throw a plug in here for the Blackbox Quicksilver (now built by OohLaLa Manufacturing: http://www.oohlalamanufacturing.com/quicksilver.html ).

Not only does it have that amazing feedback loop — which allows you to insert and cumulatively layer any other effect(s) onto just the echoes — but it’s one of the best sounding digital delays I’ve run across.

In and of itself, the modulation and variable HP/LP filters allow you to convincingly emulate analog or tape delays and it sounds just beautiful. Now start placing effects chains within the feedback loop and you can very quickly get into uncharted territory.

And were we also discussing “out-of-production” models (although you can still find them used or NOS pretty easily, which I guess does make them “available today”), I’d likewise give high marks to the Yamaha UD-Stomp and its successor the MagicStomp UB-99. Both of these can produce some of the most beautiful modulated echo washes ever.
