SF audio Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I'm cruising ebay looking for a good digital delay to use for guitar FX while mixing. I see all kinds of stuff - delta labs effectrons, roland SD1000, Ibanez stuff, etc...Most of this stuff is around $100 to $150. Can I get something good (meaning clean and not TOO noisy) for this price? Is there a consensus "standard" for a good rackmount delay? I guess that might be the lexicon PCM 42, but that's in another league of course....

fantasticsound Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I've owned an Ibanez HD-1500 for about 16 years. I would NOT recommend it. If you can pick one up for under $50 it might make a nice box to mess with, but it is not quiet or pristine sounding. It utilizes a doubler circuit for longer delay times which limits the freq. response. The best you can say about it is it sounds more like an analog delay at the 2x and 4x settings. The longest delay is 512ms. Not very long at all. In this range, stick to the Lexicon. You'll be much happier. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

DC Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I've got an Effectron and it's a bad ass for a lot of things. I wouldn't really recommend it for guitar because it doesn't have tap tempo feature. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check the Boss stuff if you can't come up with the dosh for a Lexicon. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
