I came across an interesting video by guitarguitaruk demo’ing the TC Electronic Flashback delay to achieve the Edge/U2 sound. Sounds like he’s representing quite well. Seen a few comments stating to just get the Nova Delay, but for the price point on the Flashback, it’s really quite affordable getting this sound.

Here is the video:

Here is the official description of the TC Electronic Flashback Delay:

The Flashback delay features 6 seconds delay time of every delay type you could ever wish for, from the TC Electronic legendary 2290 to a slapback, with 10 different types to choose from and it also doubles as a looper!Besides all that, the Flashback delay comes with TonePrint, so you can easily ToneTransfer your favorite delay settings. The Flashback delay also features TC Electronics audio tapping technology, allowing you to set delay times by strumming your guitar, and a toggle switch allows you to switch between 16th notes or dotted 8s, for a more U2-like sound.The Flashback features a spillover on/off switch as well as Delay Time, Feedback and Repeat controls, so you are always sure you get the sound you want without any hassle. Rounding out the pedals features are a small footprint, easy access battery hatch, true bypass, an analog-dry-through and the highest grade components.

At the time of this post, the TC Electronic Flashback is on sale at Amazon for $158.57. It lists at $232.00 and ships with FREE super saver shipping.

Here is a video by Premiere Guitar where the Electro-Harmonix booth at NAMM 2012 showed off their Analogizer and Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT. I’ve been very interested in the Analogizer and wanted to hear more about it. It seems like a great little box to ‘darken’ up the signal, especially on trailing delays, etc. I thought it was cool that it was a signal boost as well (similar to LPB1 – Linear Power Boost) giving it up to 26dB of signal gain.

I have a T-Rex Replica delay and I like how you can set it to be ‘dark’. I also have a Boss DD-3 which is very digital and a pedal like this could come in handy for a DD-3 or DD-7 to generate more of an analog feel.

The Deluxe Memory Man is similar to the standard Deluxe Memory Man with tap tempo, but has shorter maximum delay (550ms) since those chips are easier to come by. I particularly liked the demo with the POG2 in the effects loop of the pedal to only affect the wet signal with the POG. Very cool.

Here is the video:

I found a good ‘bundle’ deal on the Electro-Harmonix Analogizer for $104.85 at Amazon, but you get 2 free Strukture 6″ patch cables and 2 free Strukture 18.6′ instrument cables. Not a bad deal!

Today I came across an interesting pedal and didn’t know much about it. I figured it would be a good one to feature today. It’s the ModTone Mini Mod Series MTM-DLY Mini Delay. Now, ModTone is not an unfamiliar name, but the Mini Mod Series was new to me.  Basically, it’s ModTone’s nano series of pedals, with an extremely small footprint. And the price point is something to pay attention to as well. For this post, I wanted to only talk about the delay, but there are others in the series as well (chorus, distortion, flanger, fuzzer and overdrive).

Here is the official description of the ModTone Mini Mod Series MTM-DLY Mini Delay:

Enjoy the warm tone of analog circuitry and the precision of a digital Chip in this hybrid classic. The Mini-Mods marries two technologies to produce one of the most sought after delay sounds on the market today. The all analog circuitry first produces the rich warm enhanced signal created between your guitars pickups and the pedal, then the digital chip repeats the signal with swiss-clock precision.

I also found this video by TMNTV. I thought this vid fully showed what it was all about:

The ModTone Mini Mod Series MTM-DLY Mini Delay is currently available for only $43.30 at Amazon and is available with FREE super saver shipping. $43.30 for a delay.. a ModTone delay… is a pretty great price.

Yesterday, I posted the “Best Delay / Echo Pedals Under $200” poll and I’ve been noticing that the TC Electronic Flashback delay is really holding it’s position during this poll. If you haven’t added your vote to the poll, please do so (click here)! So, I thought today would be a good day to showcase the TC Electronic Flashback Delay. I personally haven’t played the Flashback, but definitely at first look/listen it’s definitely sounding like a great delay with all the bells and whistles (including loop mode) you want out of a delay.

Here is the official description of the TC Electronic Flashback Delay:

The Flashback delay features 6 seconds delay time of every delay type you could ever wish for, from TC Electronic’s legendary 2290 to a slapback, with 10 different types to choose from and it also doubles as a looper!

A while back, I posted the Top 5 Delay Pedals on the Market. I mentioned that this was tough because defining “best” is difficult. Is the most expensive mean best? Is the most popular best? So today I thought I would add a community poll. I’ve eliminated the price to define best by making the options within the under $200 mark. This will cover a lot of the widely used delay/echos out there. So with this group of delays, what do you feel is best. Please vote below and if you have a comment or opinion, or if you know of a delay not in the list, please comment below.

When determining what pedals fall in this category, I opted to not go with MSRP (list price) but the commonly available prices of these pedals.

Okay.. this is a really good one. A few days back I did a top 5 delay list, and someone mentioned the TC Electronic Nova Delay, and I have to say, that is a pretty tasty delay for sure. This delay definitely has option, and it seems very easy to program, which I like. I thought the audio ‘tap’ is pretty cool too.

So, what’s the deal? The TC Electronic ND-1 Nova Delay pedal lists for $345.00, and is usually available for $260.00, but is currently on sale for only $200.95. So $60 off regular price! That’s a good deal. This pedal also ships with FREE super saver shipping.

Here is the official description of the TC Electronic ND-1 Nova Delay:

The ND-1 Nova Delay raises the bar for guitar effect pedals and redefines what it means to be “state-of-the-art.” It’s built upon the legacy and knowledge of TC’s world-renowned TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay.

With 6 different stereo delay types and the option to store up to 9 presets customizable by an array of style parameters ranging from vintage tape to digital delay. This effect pedal easily serves all delay requirements of modern guitar players who seek unique sounds.

Each of these types can be modified with a delay style — a unique feature of ND-1 Nova Delay that allows you to mix and match your delay type and style infinitely.

With the ND-1 Nova Delay, both single delay and dual delay lines can be applied to any type and style using the tap tempo switch or delay time knob to determine the delay time that ranges from 1 to 2290 ms.

Three different types of modulation (light, medium and heavy) can be applied to any of the delay types — a feature originating from the TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay processor.

The all-new Audio Tapping™ technology enables you to set the tempo of the delay by playing a rhythm into the pedal while holding down the tap tempo switch. You can now set the tempo of the delay using your most important asset: Your playing.

Other great ND-1 Nova Delay features include the pedal’s ability to choose between ms (milliseconds) and bpm (beats per minute) readout, decide if you want spillover on individual settings and turn global tempo — where tap tempo determines delay time on user presets — on and off.

Ok, so this price may finally push me over the edge to pick up the MXR Carbon Copy (I mentioned I still don’t own one here). Not sure yet. I think I need to look at the GuitarSquid “should I buy gear” flow chart. Either way, it’s a good deal for someone. Right now at Amazon, the MXR Carbon Copy delay is on sale for $121.36 and ships with FREE super saver shipping. Normally, this pedal is available in the $150 range, so it’s a nice pick up for sure.

Here is the official description of the MXR Carbon Copy Delay:

The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay Pedal features a completely analog audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay-made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology. This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)-all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, the M169 pedal has two internal trim pots that offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy effect pedal will take you from crisp “bathroom” slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hard-wire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.

Originally, when I was going to write this post, I was going to do it a little differently. I was going to pull some various resources to figure out the top 5 delay pedals on the market today. The problem is.. this is quite subjective. Top 5 could mean the best, but best is often not realistic (Does expensive mean best? Is exclusivity best? Is workhorse best? Is popularity best?). I wanted to compile maybe the most ‘popular’ or possibly the best bang for the buck set of delays.

So, I thought I would do something different and post my opinion, but ask for you to supply your own opinion of your top 5 delays below in the comments. Please add some explanations of your choices to help others.

For this, I compiled this short list of common delays available today. I know there are delays missing, but wanted to include delays that I often see on Pedal Line Fridays, and see in recurring discussions on forums, etc. If you feel one is not in here… and should be included, comment or contact me, and I’ll update this post. This list is in no particular order.

MXR Carbon Copy

Okay, for my opinion of the Top 5 Delay Pedals on the Market.

1. T-Rex Replica Delay
2. Eventide Timefactor
3. Boss DD-7 Delay
4. MXR Carbon Copy
5. Electro-Harmonix Memory Man

T-Rex Replica Delay – I own this personally, and I think this is an awesome delay. Love the tone, love the tap tempo, very warm sounding

Eventide Timefactor – I’ve seen mention of this over and over. It’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, but there is no denying that this is a popular delay. It may be more complicated than what I like, but I would love to take it for a spin.

Boss DD-7 – I’m including this because it’s a work horse. I almost want to include all the DD series pedals. For the price, it’s a great sounding digital delay. I own a Boss DD-3 and it’s great for the rhythmic delay overlay. I always feel like I want to exclude it, but every time I play it, I’m impressed.

MXR Carbon Copy – I still wonder why I don’t own this. I’ve thought about buying it a ton. This is a perfect example of following Pedal Line Fridays. The amount of times I see this pedal on the line is ridiculous. Probably one of the most popular delays featured on Pedal Line Friday submissions.

Electro-Harmonix Memory Man – I would probably slap the Deluxe Memory Boy, Hazarai, etc. EHX makes some amazing gear, and this is a classic delay. Upper Mid-Range in price, but unbelievably solid. Love the tone. Jimmy Rolle (who does the demos) has an older Deluxe Memory Man, and the pedal is bad ass.

I have a feeling I’m going to change my mind in about an hour….

So let’s hear what your Top 5 is… and more importantly why. Remember, we’re not just picking the 5 most expensive pedals. I think showcasing ‘working man’ delays with the high end stuff is a good metric on the popularity and the effectiveness of the particular delays. Getting feedback from you guys is a great way to see what is hot or required for delay guys.
