Delays
Delay is an eect that records a poron of the incoming signal, and then plays it back a short me later. The recording can
repeat just once or several mes. The available delay pedals are:
•Delay
(Modeled after Boss
®
DM-2 Analog Delay)
The DM-2 is a classic and standard BBD analog delay that used 4,096
stages of delay. The frequency response and noise depended upon
the delay me. The signal increasingly deteriorates with each repeat,
so as the repeats are turned up, the signal becomes less and less
recognizable and actually becomes more of an “eect” than a delay.
•DigiTech 2-Tap Delay
While most delays are derived from a signal delay with one end tap,
the 2-Tap Delay uses a single delay line, but with two endpoints that
are spaced about at dierent raos. Use this eect to add more of a
rhythmic quality to your delays.
•DigiTech Analog Delay
The analog delay produces delays that were derived from ”BBD” analog
delay chips. The BBD chips were the rst ways to produce delay aside
from the costly tape delays. The delay sound was not HiFi but was
reminiscent of the original signal and quickly became a cornerstone to
modern guitar sounds due to their warm qualies.
•DigiTech Digital Delay
A digital delay can be called a perfect representaon of your guitar’s
signal. Desired for their brilliant qualies, digital delays have virtually
no noise and a full frequency response.
•DigiTech Lo Fi Delay
The Lo Fi delay is an analog delay with a severely limited frequency
response, producing an even grungier delay eect.
•DigiTech Modulated Delay
A modulated delay is a digital delay with chorus added to the delays to
produce a wider sounding stereo delay.
•DigiTech Pong Delay
A pong delay’s repeats jump from side to side and requires a stereo
setup to fully hear the eect.
•DigiTech Reverse Delay
The Reverse Delay samples the guitar’s signal then plays the delayed
signal backwards. Reverse delay used to be a studio trick, but now
with modern technology it exists in a stompbox!
•DigiTech Tape Delay
The tape delay eect produces a warm tone by liming the frequency
response and adding the distoron that exists in a tape delay.
•Echo Flex
(Modeled after Maestro EP-2 Tube Echoplex)
The Echoplex is the standard to which all analog delays are judged.
The Echoplex was the rst widely used tape delay and had a tone all
it’s own. The Echoplex can be heard on many rockabilly, surf, country
and rock tracks.
