Delay Type Description Examples
Mono The mono delay provides an echo eect with a mono delay line. Mono delay is great for added
depthandspace.PinkFloyd
guitarist David Gilmour is one
of the kings of delay.
Tape Echo Tape Echo provides a single, relatively rapid delay of the original
signal, with the added warmth that vintage tape-based echo
units provided.
Often used on vocals for a
1950’s-erafeel,oronguitars
for a surf-type tone.
Stereo The stereo delay is a stereo version of the mono delay, with a left
and right input and a left and right output. Each side (left and
right) has its own set of controls).

independent of the other one.
Ping-Pong The ping pong delay works the same as the stereo delay,
with the exception that the feedback is routed to the opposite
channel, producing a bouncing sound as the delayed signal
bounces from left to right.
Similar to the stereo delay
example, but instead of each
delay being set independently
of the other, this creates a
steady ping-pong delay with
varying speed.
Multi-Tap This allows you to create two delays with dierent lengths. With added feedback, you can
create very interesting eects
on a guitar solo.
