A delay<\/strong> pedal records the signal from your guitar, then plays it back after a short time. The result? Repetitions of your sound, more or less spaced and more or less numerous, that you can shape and adjust ad infinitum. <\/p>\n\n
Delay can be subtle – to add thickness – or downright psychedelic, to plunge your sound into an ocean of echoes, where it can even be combined with other effects! <\/p>\n\n
\n\nWhy use a delay pedal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
- \n
- Thicken your sound<\/strong>: a simple short repetition adds depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Creating ambience<\/strong>: long delay + reverb = interstellar travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Energize solos<\/strong>: make your notes sound like a pro recording.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rhythmic work<\/strong>: some tempo-synchronized delays let you play with repeats for percussive effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n\nHow does a delay pedal work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
The pedal records an audio signal and plays it back after a set time. You generally control 3 parameters: <\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Time<\/strong>: the delay between repetitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Feedback<\/strong>: number of repetitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mix\/Level<\/strong>: the volume of repeats in relation to the original sound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Some modern pedals offer much more: modulation, tap tempo, presets, MIDI, reverse, etc.<\/p>\n\n
\n\nHow to choose the right delay pedal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Here are a few points to consider when choosing your ideal delay:<\/p>\n\n
Analog or digital?<\/strong>
