Delay pedal recommendation

Style: Funk rock, rock and roll, blues
Guitars used: tele/strats, all single coil tones

What I'm looking for: I'm looking for something that can provide me with slapback delay and also create ambience almost tending towards a reverb.

Ambience mainly used on cleans when strumming, slapback delay for distorted solos.

My aim is to use this to provide depth, space and body to my tones. I'm not really after the edge kinda delay but thats good to have.

Price wise I'm pretty flexible as long as its not some $600 stuff.

I would go analogue, but after reading up and listening to clips on the deluxe memory man, it might not be what I'm really after. Although dave navarro's clip does sound a little of what I'm after. But I probably won't ever use the chorus/vibrato on it.

I've read the reviews of the DD-20, DD-6, DD-3, some say it sounds a tad too fake, others say lots of good stuff about it.

I hope this is enough info about my playing style and preferences would be able to allow you guys to recommend me something.
Thanks in advance.
 
y dont u get a dd3 and hicut mod it (to make it sound more analog-ish), or get a byoc digital delay which already has hicut

i would hav recommended u a t rex replica but u said u dont want some "$600 stuff" haha
 
haha, i wanna be honest, cause i'm not after some uber leet delay that can give me some outer space earth to jupiter kinda delay.

I don't have a real need for delay that runs into the seconds.

Analogue cause i want the cleans to sound more natural. No reverb unit onboard my amp. lol.
 
I am using a CMATmods Deeelay to great effect, with regards to adding that extra 'dimension'.

I needed a delay to layer my tone, so to speak. To add some ambience. I was looking for something simple, and something of quality. And I finally settled on the Deeelay.

It might be something you want to check out.
 
yea the replica isnt made to giv u eternities of delay time, its expensive cuz of its warmth as a delay
 
Thanks phil, where did u get yours?
Its outta stock!
eeps, but the sound clips is almost what I'm looking for, thanks for the great recommendation.
 
Ibanez EM-5.

This is one underdog, and hard to beat. I bought 2. And I ain't selling any of them... beautiful stuff.


Oh, I just got the Retroman Echo.. pretty nifty too!
 
Are we talking about the T-Rex Replica? If money isn't an issue, maybe you might want to give that a shot.

I got my Deeelay from CK at TYMC at a very good price. :wink:
