Looking for delay pedal suggestions

[Bryan]

I'm wanting a delay but I only want to spend about $100. Right now the Boss DD-3 and the Line 6 Echo Park are the front runners. But I'm open to suggestions and recommendations.

[NevermoreMan90]

I'd go for the echo park. Nothing sounds better than Line 6 effects in my opinion. The echo park can get you any sound in delay or echo you need.

Does it have a hold feature?

[The Jeeves 3000]

Cant go wrong With Maxon Analog delay but its gonna cost you like 375 bones but its a personal favorite for me

[NevermoreMan90]

I believe the echo park does have a hold feature. But I know for $110 its the best delay you can buy. You should make a list of delay pedals that interest you, and try em' all out.

I'm really looking for opinions on what everybody's using or can recommend me at the $100 price range. My LMS doesn't stock that many delay pedals so sitting down and trying out a bunch isn't feasible and I will not drive 1 hour to get to the closest GC so I can attempt to try out pedals in the middle of everybody's riffapalooza at 10 on every amp in the place.

In the $100 price range, echo park it is, my friend.

The Echo Park is a little noisy! But not the DL4!!

[ESPointer]

do any of those have tap tempo?

[NevermoreMan90]

The echo park does have tap tempo. not sure about the DL4.

Dude, I'ld say safe a bit more and get a Maxon AD-999. Don't be cheap...get the good shit.

I just got a DD-3 and it does everything i need it to. Id say you cant go wrong with that.

I have a TC Electronic Vintage Delay which is good. I would recommend the Blackbox delay pedal, which really is an amazing delay pedal, has features such as modulation and a built-in loop for adding effects to delays and stuff.

But if you want cheap and simple, Boss.

BOSS DD3 OR DD6 !

great digital delays u cannot go wrong, line 6 echo park noisy and very thin sounding i didnt care for it .but make sure u have one in your amps fx loop to get the best out of it.

I just picked up an Echo Park in a pinch, and I'm happier with it than I was expecting. With a good power supply, it's dead quiet. The tap temp works really well and the stereo in/out is a plus. There's a slight gain increase when you turn the effect on, but very little. I don't find it to affect my tone more than a negligible amount.

I'm still planning on getting one of these in the very near future:

You didn't say exactly, what delay sound you are after, more digital or more analog vintage.

If you are looking for the more analog delay sound, the Artec Delay is a good pedal to look into.

The Boss DD-6 is a very good digital delay IMO, but it costs a lot more.

The Digitech X-Delay is quite good for its price, I enjoy mine a lot, especially the slapback echo and the tape delay setting. It's kinda a jack-of-all-trades; other pedals do it better but are more expensive.

The Marshall Echohead is rather new, it might be over your price range but it has some cool features I like (like being able to choose between true bypass and spillover/buffered bypass).
