heres a simple trick to use a delay that cant oscillate, but just kept repeating the sound over and over again as a pseudo looper for "ambientish" moment
must fullfill few condition first
1) digital delay
2) With repeat at maximum and NO oscillation, just continuous repeats
3) Delay time at maximum, longer the better.
4) Must have mix knob to blend clean and delay signal
5) less distortion, just clean signal or very very mild overdrive into the delay(if not, mud be heard)
6) play slowly and sparsely, listen to the sound, react accordingly in response. No soloing, no following of time signature are required
first thing to do, set the delay time and repeat time at own preference, play something. Half way thru playing while the repeats are ringing out, slowly turn the repeat to maximum, follow by the delay time.
The sound heard will be dropping in pitch and continuous going on when both delay time and repeat are turn to maximum.
This continuous sound will be the "base" for us to add in more layers to overdub, preferbly using E, B or G strings( to create a contrast in frequency between the low repeating "base" and new notes played in higher strings)
play few notes in the beginning and hear how it react with the lower repeating "base" sound, when roughly got the action and reaction, play more notes over it, faster, slower, clean palm muting etc.
When the whole thing start to sound messy as more notes/chords are being layered, either turn the mix knob down or to go back to beginning, turn the delay time knob slowly down and up to maximum again. There will be another "base" sound for us to play over again.
its pretty cool if getting the hang of it and this is one thing which most analog delay cant do
