topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Think I should? Brian Cook using one was my reasoning to get one! And cheap as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I know that's cheap, but a lot of people on TalkBass are saying they're a bit dark and muddy, which is what you're trying to avoid isn't it? I personally reckon you could get something loads better and more versatile for just a little more dough... Might be worth trying to get hold of an Akai Headrush v2 if you like BC/Russian Circles. Great digital and analog delays, tap tempo and a great functional looper! Edited January 26, 2014 by bakerster135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Pretty sure brian cook uses the ehx for feedback as opposed to actual delayed parts, at least i think i read that somewhere... For a really clear delay, i'd also vote dd-3 secondhand, really solid pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I had one for ages but sold it, far far too big for what I needed it for, great pedal though, I want the smallest, best delay I can get for about £50 or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Do you want ambience, ability to self oscillate/make noise, or just very clear prominent repeats?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'd think you'd just about pick up a dd-3 or an echo park on ebay for £50, on a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooks79 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If I wanted a cheap all rounder, I'd go for a second hand Boss DD6 or DD3 and just mess with it. You can pay a fortune for stuff that is amazing and does allsorts (like I did with my strymon timeline in the end), but if your unsure quite what you wanna do with it, buy cheap and play with it as much as possible to discover how you will decide to use it... And that's the fun bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 There's a DD-5 in the classifieds for £50, job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've played with the DD-3 yesterday at practise and actually while writing found a really nice part to put delay on, so I think DD-3 is for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've heard DD-5's and DD-6's are awful, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've tried 3's and 7's and they're great, not heard of any problems with 5's and 6's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm more than happy with a DD6, what have you heard bad about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 The more I'm thinking, the more I don't think a delay is good for me, I'm also the singer in my band and it's very difficult to do pedals one and off when you're singing as well I find, maybe one day I can grab one for free, but for now, I'm just gonna leave it. Money is a b*tch at the moment too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topheteatwo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 You guys are killing me....I really want one but the money, I've found that my reverb isn't really doing much these days....I JUST DON'T KNOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonEdward Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 [quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1390322149' post='2344040'] I'm just interested in people use of delays and where you use them? Every time I get one I just can't find a use for it in anyway, it just seems to get muddy but I see delays on a lot of people's boards? I'm just looking at how people use them in a band setting? [/quote] I'm one of those Bassists who has a delay on their board - TC Alter Ego Delay (based on the 'Flashback') - and although aimed at guitarists, because of the '[b][i]Echorec and [/i][color=#000000][font=ff-dagny-web-pro-1, ff-dagny-web-pro-2,][i]Deluxe Memory Man[/i]' [/font][/color][/b]Pre-sets, I think it sounds great on Bass. Subtlety is key. I haven't been in a band for years', but it's one of my favourite pedals. I also like the '2290' and 'Modulated' delays, and it also has a 40-second looper (great for creating something new) and 'Toneprints'. Expensive to buy new (£145), but pre-loved 'Flashbacks' come up often on Evil Bay. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
