I am very happy with my DLS Echo Tap, it is very versatile and allows you to choose between two delay settings - one preset with the knob in the middle, and one where you tap the tempo - plus it has individual volume controls for the two settings and a tone control that goes from "warm and analog" to "modern digital". Holding the 'tap' button down for 2-3 seconds switches it back to the preset tempo.

I'll second that emotion on the DLS Echotap. I've had it for about a year on my guitar rig. It's very high quality, and the dual echo with a tap-tempo button is very user friendly. To me, a good delay should have a tone control on the echoes, so that they aren't as clear and hi-fi as the original signal. This allows for a much warmer, less obvious echo effect.

After using many different delay pedals over the years, I have settled on the Guyatone MD-3 as the best for me. It has very good reviews, compact, affordable, and for me, the best sound of any delay pedal I have used.

Mike, is this company a Peavey Company? Will the pedal called the "Womanizer" do anything for an old white haired guy like me?

Keith, we are now distributing this line of high end effects processors. I've tried all of the pedals except the Time Line and they sound very good. Easy to get around on.

But, to answer your question, it's pretty sassy so it won't let you get too far with it. All jokes aside, this pedal was designed with the "Woman tone" that Eric Clapton used to get using his 335 in his Cream days........................which may be before your time!

Before my time! Mike, I knew Moby Dick when he was just a minnow. I knew Madam Butterfly when she was just a moth.

you use on the DLS echo tap if you don't mind. Thanks so much.

I usually have the preset delay set to 200 or 225 milliseconds, and set the tap tempo to the song,- usually 1/4 notes.
I keep the tone rolled off quite a bit so that I get a darker delay reminiscent of a tape echo.
Volume and number of repeats depends, I usually have more repeats with a "tape echo" type of setting than if I go for a clearer delay.

Well, the only drawback to using a delay pedal, IMO, is that it repeats the mistakes I make..

Ive been using a maxon analog delay pedal. It doesnt have much delay time, but it really beefs up my tone. I love it!

Yes, I've worked the Vaudeville circuit, but it was called the VFW tour.

I use a Danelectro Wasabi Rock-A-Bye delay - quite warm sounding, and if you want to, you can add a bit of overdrive for a great rockabilly sound. Not the smallest pedal in existence, though, quite heavy, too, but it looks pretty cool with its "tailfins".

I use the inexpensive and cheaply made Arion SAD-1. It's a piece of crap, but it sounds great. I've had Line 6 DL4, Maxon AD something (the small one), Boss DM2, Akai Headrush, DeltaLab Effectron, but I keep going back to the Arion SAD-1. These are discontinued, but you can find them on Ebay. I think I paid around $45 for mine. The build quality is crap, but the tone is the s@#%!

The only thing I would really want to use instead of it would be a real tape unit, but that's too much bother for live use.

Honestly, I didn't look at the whole thread...but the best stompbox I've ever found is the discontinued Ibanez EM-5 Echomachine. It's digital, but sounds analog - just enough "crap factor" built in to make you think you're playing through a well-serviced Echoplex. Really nice unit, and just now starting to get pricey.

If you want a clean boost that beefs up your tone, there is nop better pedal than a Klon Centaur. Keep the gain at 12:00 (so you're not using it as an overdrive) and it doesn't change your tone much at all - just gives you more of what you already have - stronger, fuller, beefier, but still YOUR guitar and YOUR amp. Not cheap, but I find it almost indispensible for live playing. Compressors tend to make lousy boost pedals - the more you "boost", the more you "squeeze" and ruin your tone.

I'm surprised it caused distortion though. But are you trying to run a modern steel directly into stompboxes? If so, that's the distortion issue - with MXR boxes especially you need a Matchbox, Steeldriver or other impedance-matching device *before* the stompboxes, or you simply hit them too hard with the high-output steel pickups.
