Hi,
I got a question regarding delay. While I was gigging this week-end I
noticed that my delay made a difference in tone when put on (this is
great I think) It makes tunes like "War of the satelites" sound better.
But what is the difference with a tape delay (analog or digital) when
compared to a normal delay pedal (I use a cheap Dinasour digital delay)
I ask this because I sam the Danelectro "tape delay" a while ago. Albeit
a digital one, but the add said it was close to a "real tape delay"
(assuming they were talking analog)
I also read about the (famous) Roland Space echo (also a (analog)
delay??)
I saw this being used by "The Revelaires" (one of Belguims leading
"cover" surf bands, it's also being mentioned at MOAM FX list
So what's your general opinion on delay units (surfwise), what about the
Danelectro unit? Any good.
(Should Dano or Jim from the Nebulas read this, how is delay/tape delay
used in The Nebulas?)
Thanks,
Jerry S.
If you're talking about the Reel Echo, I have one and I really like it.
It sounds pretty good but there are 2 problems I have with it. One is
that it's a digital delay so it doesn't make the cool pitch-shift sound
when you change the delay rate. The other thing, and this goes for the
Spring King too, is that it's not a true bypass. If you don't have a
fresh battery, forget it! That's the most annoying part.

Tape delay has a noticeable loss of high end as it decays, whereas
digital doesn't. Tape delay can sound mucho warmer too, but tapes
can be hard to find!!!

Hi Phil,
Indeed, I'm refering to the Danelectro Reel Echo.
The state it is a digital tape delay. (sounds like a real tape delay)
Do you use in combination with the spring King? And if so haw does it
affect your sound?
And what is possible with this box. (Shadows-sound? Space Echo?)
(I'm thinking of replacing my Delay with a Reel Echo.
Thanks,
Jerry
