Is that the Maxon AD999 or the Maxon AD999 Pro ? |

Sorry - one "X". It's the AD-9 which I use only for slap-back to get a fuller sound.

I used to use a line 6 delay modeler, but all the switches broke. I absolutely love my Electro Harmonix Memory Boy Deluxe. The sine/square wave mod, tap divide and switchable expression pedal function were the features that sold me. Not to mention the tone of actual analog delay. Although, with a lack of available feet, i don't use the expression pedal for steel.
I feel like any analog delay is good enough for a straight slapback delay, but I like a heavy mod for a chorus like effect and the ability to have a longer delay than my old (amazing sounding) Ibanez AD-80, or similar vintage analog delay. |

Not a contender for "Best Delay", but at $26 shipped, this Behringer Vintage Delay is certainly in the running for Best Value. I am very pleased with mine so far.

True bucket brigate analog and surprisingly smooth. The casing is plastic, but it seems quite sturdy. I highly recommend this pedal for those on a budget.

| many of those behringer pedals sound ok. Thing to be aware of is the plastic input and output jacks have NO strain relief, only the solder that connects them to the PCB board. These are usually the first things to fail. |
