    Hey Folks,
    I´m searching for a good Delay Effect Pedal. I know Boss Pedals are awesome, but I want to ask you first if there are some better Pedals? Hope you guys have some good suggestions. And I if you want, give me some cool Song suggestions with Delay. Thanks

    Hey man, are you looking for a digital or an analog delay? The newer Boss DD-500 is superb, i’ve played it quite a bit. But if you dont need all the functionality of it the DD-7 is simple and has a few extra sounds that are great. TC-Electronic also makes amazing delays for the money. If you’re looking to spend some serious dough than the Strymon Timeline is amazing, but IMO the DD-500 does a very similar job for almost half the cost. Hope that helps!

    I have a Boss DD-3 and a JHS Pink Panther Delay. The Boss is a great pedal, but the JHS Pink Panther sounds a little bit warmer and more natural to me, if that makes any sense, and you can tweak the settings more to shape your delay effect. It also has a switch to go from digital to tape, which gives you a kind of warble. I have also heard good things about the TC Electronics pedals, but haven’t played one. I would recommend watching a lot of demo videos of different delay pedals before you pick one. Nobody really criticizes anything about gear in demo videos, but at least you get an idea of what it sounds like and what you can do with it.

    I have a TC Transition, it’s basically a really old iteration of the current Flashback model. I love the different sounds available on the TC pedals, and TonePrint makes it even greater. Mine doesn’t have a digital delay setting, it’s all analog, so if that’s the sound you’re going for I recommend giving TC a look, but for digital I also have heard great things from Boss.

    It really depends on what you want to use it for. I mostly use it to fatten up my sound(especially in solos). Tc electronic makes some great delays(I’ve never had one but they have really good reviews). Also what do you mean by delay songs because for example these are two great delay songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2EyupH54Bs


    If you want to play something a bit easier you can also pretty much play any U2 song
