ModTone Mini Mod Series MTM-DLY Mini Delay

ModTone Mini Mod Series MTM-DLY Mini Delay Bass Delay PedalToday 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.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay PedalI’ve been doing Pedal Line Fridays for a bit now, and one pedal I see quite a bit is the Boss DD-3 (or the  Boss DD-7). The Boss DD-3 is a powerful, easy-to-use delay pedal.. with a price that’s pretty hard to beat. I also see this pedal on pro touring musicians as well (Buzzo from Melvins, Yannis and Jimmy from Foals, Robert from the Cure, etc).

Basically, in a nut shell, the Boss DD-3 has three modes and can give you delay times from 12.5 to 800ms with a optional hold function for infinite repeats. If you’re looking for more (ie: tap tempo) you may want to look at the Boss DD-7. As I mentioned, for the price is nice.. at $99.99 for the Boss DD-3.

Here is the official description of the Boss DD-3

With three delay-time modes, the Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal can handle all your performance needs. Features delay times that range from 12-1/2 to 800ms. Produces endless repeats on demand in Hold mode. Comes with a 5-year warranty.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal Includes:

* 5-year warranty

I found this video by BOSSchannel. They did a good job showing the different modes while playing different styles of music.

As I mentioned earlier, you can pick up the Boss DD-3 Digital Delay for $99.99 at Musician’s Friend.

Plush Replay Digital Delay

Plush Replay Digital Delay Guitar Effects PedalStumbled on a interesting delay pedal today, by Fuchs called the Plush Replay Delay. It’s looking like a great sounding delay pedal (pricey, but sounds great). I’ve talked about Fuchs in the past, he definitely makes some quality pedals.

Here is the official description:

The Plush Replay guitar effect pedal features up to one second of pure delay. Using a unique circuit topology, the Replay has a true high-voltage power supply, providing 300 volts to a genuine tube audio stage as well as a real tube level indicator. It also features the same proprietary great-sounding digital technology used in many Plush delay line pedals. The control panel of the Plush Replay delay is angled, and features ultra-bright LEDs for Power, peak signal, tap tempo on, tempo indicator, and echo mute so you get the highest visibility possible in dark venues, on stage, or outdoors. Plush Replay’s operation is as simple as a tape delay. No fancy programming, or software silliness. The delay effect pedal was designed by musicians, for musicians.

The control panel of the Plush Replay digital delay pedal is clear, concise, and user-friendly. Controls are delay time, mix, wow, flutter, repeats, and fidelity. The fidelity control allows you to tailor the repeats from digitally clear to tape smoothness. A discrete (delay only) effects loop allows you to process the delayed signal through a reverb, or outboard device, prior to mixing within the tube audio stage. This output may also be used for a remote footswitch. While the Plush Replay delay effect can be used on a pedal board in front of an amplifier. The Replay is simple to operate—its unique retro styling is equally at-home in the studio, as it is on the stage.

Plush’s objective was very simple: create a guitar delay pedal that delivered the musicality of tape, without the hassles and costs of replacing tapes, belts, motors and maintenance. Sure, everyone loves the sound of tape, who needs all the hassles?

All Plush effects pedals have cast aluminum housings, industrial powder coat finish, heat cured silk screen labeling, true bypass, Cliff switch, Neutrik connectors, metal shaft controls, premium boutique-quality passive components selected for tone, mil spec fiberglass two sided circuit board construction for consistent long term performance, and a 5-year warranty. Made in the USA.

Plush Replay Digital Delay Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

* Echo switch
* Tap switch
* Tempo switch
* Delay control
* Mix control
* Repeats control
* Fidelity control
* Wow control
* Flutter control
* Power on LED
* Peak signal LED
* Tap tempo on LED
* Tempo indicator LED
* Echo on LED

Here is a video demo by FUCHSAUDIO

You can pick up the Plush Replay Delay for $649.00 at Musician’s Friend.

Keeley Modded Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

I think it’s pretty cool that Musician’s Friend is starting to carry Keeley modded pedals. I hope they will continue to carry smaller builders, because the bottom line, they’re building and creating great pedals.

Today, I wanted to talk about the Keeley Modded Boss DD-3 Analog Switch and Effects Loop pedal. This mod is pretty cool, basically he’s added a capacitor to smooth and darken the repeats giving it a simulated  ‘analog’ feel. You can switch between this and the normal digital mode. He’s also added a effects loop to the delay, so you can get effected repeats, which is pretty awesome.

Here is Keeley’s official description of the pedal:

There are two parts to this mod. First, “SWITCHABLE ANALOG FEEL” and then and EFFECTS LOOP! Players can now take the industry standard compact delay and select between 2 different smoothing caps that give it an analog delay feel or set it for the stock sound! All of this via a small three way toggle switch. We transform the Direct Out of the stock BOSS DD-3 and convert it into an effects loop so that you can add any effect to Just the Repeats!!! Imagine adding slight chorus or phase to the signal so that you can simulate tape effects, warble, wobble, or any other vintage/modern effect you can dream up! You’d be hard pressed to find another delay pedal that gives you this amount of creativity.

I also found a video showing both the effects loop and analog/digital style delays by coolpedals:

You can pick up the Keeley Modded Boss DD-3 Analog Switch and Effects Loop pedal for $209.00 at Musician’s Friend. Looks like they’ll be in stock in April.

Boss DD-7 Digital Delay

Yesterday I was helping a friend with his ‘franken’ pedal. Basically, it was a DOD FX90 digital delay joined to a Dunlap Wah. The delay speed pot was tied into the wah tone pot, so you could control the delay speed with the wah pedal. This was all tied together with single 9volt power and mounted together with screws. This was done years ago, and at the time seemed pretty crazy. The pedal was brought to me because it was shorting out, but I mentioned to my friend that there are all sorts of delays out there with expression pedal inputs in them now. After making the quick repairs to the pedal, I wanted to offer him some possibilities for the future if he wanted to upgrade.

Obviously, many of the higher end delays offer this, but the Boss DD-7 is a nice budget solution that seems to sound quite good.

Here is the official manufacture description:

The BOSS DD-7 Digital Delay is a guitar effects pedal that takes the best features from its predecessors and expands their creative potential. You get Modulation Delay mode, classic modeled Analog Delay mode, External pedal control options, longer delay time, and more. Even with the best-selling delays in compact-pedal history, BOSS continues to push the envelope and innovate.

Expanded Delay Time
Up to 6.4 seconds of delay time are available with the DD-7, a marked increase from its predecessor. In addition, Hold mode allows up to 40 seconds of input to be recorded for creating “sound on sound” performances.

Delay Modes
The BOSS DD-7 pedal is equipped with two innovative and advanced delay modes. Modulation Delay provides chorus-flavored sounds. Analog Delay offers a modeled simulation of the classic BOSS DM-2, beloved for its characteristic warmth.

External Control
For handsfree control of the DD-7 pedal, an external footswitch and Expression pedal (sold separately) can be used. Tap tempo can be controlled from an external footswitch, while delay time, feedback, and effect level can be changed on the fly via Expression pedal.

Stereo Output
Create amazing effects with the BOSS DD-7 pedal’s stereo output, such as spatial audio sweeps via true stereo panning. You can also use the stereo outputs to create separate dry and wet signal paths – handy for recording and live-performance control.

I found a great video by ProGuitarShopDemos that thoroughly goes through what this pedal is capable of:

If you’re looking for the expression pedal option, you can use the Roland EV-5 expression pedal which costs $69.00 at Musician’s Friend. The Boss DD-7 Digital Delay is available for $169.00 at Musician’s Friend.
