insanecooker Contributing Member ********** ** Houston, TX	Apr 11th, 2019 08:30 PM   Edit   Profile   My favorite for this is my Carl Martin DeLayla XL. I use a Supa-Puss for almost everything, but for slapback and other “light” delays the CM has the edge.
reverendrob FDP Data Goon Moderator She hath it all, & hath no need of thee.	Apr 12th, 2019 12:59 AM   Edit   Profile   Setzer uses the Re-301 Chorus Echo. That was my unit back in the stone age, they're just too blisteringly expensive now. The preamp is a hair cleaner than the standard 201, but not as hi-fi as the 501. Cheap seat version is the 150, which has something more like the 301 than the 201 (likely I'm guessing due to parts availability/cost at the time). Put a CE-2W on CE-1 mode in front of it, and you're there. Yea, you don't get the verb of the 301, but it wasn't anything write home about. But for generic slapback, you have your bases covered I'd expect.
Foggy1 Contributing Member ****** SC So, so you think you can tell?	Apr 12th, 2019 03:21 AM   Edit   Profile   FWIW... I had 3 delays. A Carbon Copy, Flashback and a Dunlop Echoplex. Kept the CC, others were sold on fleabay. (This message was last edited by Foggy1 at 05:22 AM, Apr 12th, 2019)
littleuch Contributing Member ********** ******** Ocala, Florida Paunchy and goatee'd	Apr 12th, 2019 08:16 AM   Edit   Profile   I haven't tried a ton of delays, mostly studio processing since I record more than anything. But I've had a Memory Man way back in the day, a Keeley modded AD9 and I just couldn't embrace the dirt. I think I'm most satisfied with my only delay pedal, a Carbon Copy. I did tweak the internal modulation pot a bit to tamp it down.
Te 52 Laws of Physics strictly enforced	Apr 12th, 2019 09:49 AM   Edit   Profile   I don't demand much from a delay pedal. Just a Chet Atkins-style single repeat, fairly soft, fairly dark, at about 100 msec. My old Maxon AD-80 does all that just fine.
Achase4u Contributing Member ******** U.S. - Virginia	Apr 13th, 2019 07:52 AM   Edit   Profile   The Catalinbread Belle Epoch is such a good echoplex clone Eric Johnson replaced his actual plex with two Belles on his pedal board. It sounds great but be warned it warms the tone up like a plex so it's not a clean digital sound. I think the sun records tape machine setup they used created a 117 ms delay for their slapback fwiw.
littleuch Contributing Member ********** ******** Ocala, Florida Paunchy and goatee'd	Apr 13th, 2019 08:13 AM   Edit   Profile   I find delay and reverb pedals to be really temperamental in front of the amp. Hairline response and what sounds good clean goes turbo when it's time to dig in. I so much preferred these pedals going through an effects loop when I had an amp equipped with one.
Achase4u Contributing Member ******** U.S. - Virginia	Apr 13th, 2019 08:26 AM   Edit   Profile   Some Gretsch sounds here with the Belle Gretsch Belle Epoch slap yo momma with tone (This message was last edited by Achase4u at 03:17 PM, Apr 14th, 2019)
5Strats Contributing Member ********** ********** **** Edmond/OKC GospelBilly!	Apr 13th, 2019 03:06 PM   Edit   Profile   I need to check out the Catalinbread Belle Epoch and some other of these delays. Thanks for the recommendations!
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA Knuckleheading	Apr 13th, 2019 03:16 PM   Edit   Profile   I was lucky when I nabbed the Wampler. It was a SDotD for $99.
6L6 Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** * San Francisco, CA	Apr 27th, 2019 06:07 PM   Edit   Profile   Get ye a vintage BOSS DM-2 Analog Delay, point all three knobs at the LED, and you are good to go! 6

capnhiho Contributing Member ********** ****** USA	Apr 29th, 2019 10:28 AM   Edit   Profile   The Boss DM2W (Wazacraft version) also does a fine job of slapback.
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** * USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	May 6th, 2019 10:58 AM   Edit   Profile   Very nice Achase4u!
Achase4u Contributing Member ******** U.S. - Virginia	May 6th, 2019 11:03 AM   Edit   Profile   Thank ya, Bubbalou!
trickeydave San Diego, CA "The night has a thousand eyes."	Jun 5th, 2019 05:57 PM   Edit   Profile   My old 80s Boss DD-2 does the trick rather well and I also have the Wampler The Doctor. Both are great in different ways. Both are on my board.
Itchy Contributing Member * Orlando, FL My brain hurts!	Jun 13th, 2019 07:05 PM   Edit   Profile   Been using a Carbon Copy for a while. In the past I’ve used a a couple of underrated pedals - Ibanez DL5 Soundtank and a Rocktron Short Timer. Also like the Dano Reel Echo and the Echoplex pedal.
5Strats Contributing Member ********** ********** **** Edmond/OKC GospelBilly!	Jun 14th, 2019 05:32 AM   Edit   Profile   I'm back to using the Carbon Copy for slapback.
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** * USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Jun 15th, 2019 01:58 PM   Edit   Profile   My Carbon copy deluxe sounds and does a good job
5Strats Contributing Member ********** ********** **** Edmond/OKC GospelBilly!	Jun 15th, 2019 02:49 PM   Edit   Profile   "deluxe"? Is this the larger version of the CC?
