Hi all. Hope you're well.

I'm looking to give a little 'space' to my lines, so I'm on the market for a good, simple to use, tap delay; one that doesn't colour my sound necessarily, just simply repeats what I'm giving it.

So far, someone has suggested the 'TC Electronic Nova Repeater'. Any others?

Hi,
I've got the nova delay. I believe it is some more complete version of the repeater. it can color your sound if you want, or be the cleanest of digital delays if it's what you want.
Check the reviews there: [url="http://en.audiofanzine.com/guitar-delay-echo-phrase-sampler/tc-electronic/nd-1-nova-delay/"]http://en.audiofanzi...d-1-nova-delay/[/url]

Edit: one feature that differs in the ND from the RPT is that in the ND, you can save severals settings (9 IIRC) and recall them while playing.

The Strymon stuff is great! I've got the El Capistan but it does colour your sound, even at the mildest settings, as it's based on a tape echo.

They recently released the [url="http://www.strymon.net/dig/"]DIG[/url] which looks great for a clean, non-coloured digital delay! Bit pricey though...

I still have my Nova Delay (as a backup), and I reckon it sounds pretty perfect for what you're after. You'll probably be able to pick up a used one at a decent price too. I got mine for £100 off Gumtree.

I picked up the Akai Headrush.. does various things incl. tap and tape heads stylee. Brilliant!
I'm not mad into looping, so can't really comment on that side of it, but I think it's on the short side loop-wise.

I have had the same inner-thought process recently... it's a dangerous path that leads to a blue sky and a timeline and a big overdraft!!
