3 Delay Pedal Settings To Get You Through Any Gig | TONE LAB

[@bartondudlick9019]

As a home player who struggles to find the most useful settings for my pedals, I appreciate this video.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Always glad to help!

[@NoBSMusicReviews]

You are the best at gear demos, education, and joyful, exhilarating, inspired guitar playing.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Really means a lot :) Glad you dig the videos: Rock on!

[@improvewitherror]

Looovvveee your videos Jay, I can't believe you don't have more subs, your info is so good. Your playing is the best, thanks for sharing with us!

[@shawnshipstad2184]

This guy puts out honest and quality videos. I like and trust him 10x`s more that the manufactures showing alot of false or craftlt enhanced videos of the "Pedal DJour" they are selling. IE: The new delay PRS pedals they are trying to pawn off. Expensive lousy to semi -o.k. stuff.

[@brentduxbury5814]

Jay, I’ve watch so many of your videos over the past few years and they are always entertaining, immensely useful and full of fantastic playing and a clear joy for music. Thank you 🙏

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@hermanroger]

Dude your enthusiasm and passion towards playing is infectious. Great playing. Love the videos

[@JayLeonardJ]

Really appreciate it! Thanks :)

[@claudecat]

This one was extra useful for me! I'm still learning to use pedals in general, and have arrived at my destinations for many, which is fun and awesome. But delay has been something I only use for slapback, maybe a quick attempt at some ambient or rhythmic stuff. With your specific examples and their explanations I now feel more confident that I can sound like that. I'm comin' for ya Jay! Of course, it's taken me 40 years to get this far... Seriously, I look forward to new content here mostly for your playing, but when the topic is this personally relevant, all the better! Thanks!

[@kodykindhart5644]

Awesome We are in the golden age of music

[@luismendo]

Your gear demos are great, but what amazes me is your playing. The demos are mostly an excuse to enjoy your superb playing. Keep on!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I really appreciate it :)

[@josealaras9191]

Great real-world use of a delay especially for choosing a delay type for certain types of music. This guy is the real deal. !

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@chrishansondc]

All the delay vids!!!! Love the educational videos you make, thanks! Rhythm delay with looping could use a 90 min tone lab episode 🤓

[@shawnshipstad2184]

I agree, delay is such a "Personal" effect. I love the Option5-You can see it on KZbin.

[@JayLeonardJ]

That seems to be standout in the comments section! Might have to be done!

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

looping w delay and reverb is always an issue for me!

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

@@JayLeonardJ any tips for getting that sweet dotted eighth note delay on a pedal that only has 'level/feedback/delay' settings.. it does have tap as well.. it seems I'm close but not quite there!! also..I'm in Vancouver too.. gotta get out to a show!!

[@juanpiantino9182]

Dude, you shred. Subscribed. Keep 'em coming.

[@ChasingTone666]

I absolutely love your vibe and enthusiasm.

[@richardames5215]

AMAZING. you're an inspiration Jay - love that last bit.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks :)

[@shawnshipstad2184]

Thank you-great video. Delay is the most personal "Colorization" pedal to me. It replaces reverb etc. I have many delay pedals. If you have not heard of -Option 5- a very small company-no longer making pedals their 2 tier delay is my favorite. Please at least check out the review on KZbin. I think they can be bought on Reverb. I bought one locally on Craigs list for 140.00. That along with a Saffron Squeeze compressor is almost perfect. Take care-Shawn.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks for the tip! I';ll check them out :)

[@ericburnett8163]

I just got an analog delay pedal with modulation (Keeley's Mag Echo) and this video was great for giving me more ideas for it. Thank you!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Always glad to help :)

[@yuribillones5094]

Line 6 Run Away Delay is still going decades later! On the verge setting on my Echo Park is probably my favorite still to this day

[@chrishansondc]

I just traded for the dl4 and now I’m going to create all the sounds. I’m still inspired by this video and your music 🤘🤓🎸

[@sake83]

Really appreciate the lesson Jay 👍😊👍I'm always a noob when comes to delay... 😅

[@patkent9618]

That tele is beautiful looking and sounding.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@67er_matze97]

awesome pedal and sounds... ...and the playing was once again off the charts my friend !!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks again!

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I have 2 on my board. A Carbon Copy that I use for reverb when using practice amps and analog when it's needed. And a Donner Echo Square cause it's got an excellent reverse and tape delay. Together can make some good things too. That Line 6 pedal is O K. But it's HUGE. Lot of real estate on a board. Even my DD-5 was big compared to the Donner mini.

[@JayLeonardJ]

I got my Carbon Copy back when they were first made, and I still use it all the time to this day :)

[@sparkyguitar0058]

@@JayLeonardJ I got my Dime wah when it was 1st released to public. It's on my board. Most expensive pedal on my board also. Well about the same as my modded Butler Tube driver. Another amazing pedal.

[@clivejones8011]

I love the Joy in your videos, good man.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks :)

YES. The video I needed. Killer content.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@Ideagent]

You are such a well of inspiration! Now I have try it out on my RE-202, allthough it’s in the middle of the night…

[@joelwhite2361]

New favorite Jay video!!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks! I really loved making this one :)

[@MrStorm029029]

Man those pick ups are hot!

[@garycoraluzzi1166]

Great video !! Very helpful !! Thank you !

[@PedalPoopers]

I have 3 delay+reverb pedals, and 2 reverb pedals on both my boards. I play at church so alot of ambient stuff. I always have a setting for dotted eighth, one for solo and then one long delay for slower songs. Never do slap-back type stuff. My other two reverbs are for modulated swelling and pad type stuff

[@Gutierrez_Felipe]

This tele is so beautiful!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks so much!

[@JorgeGarciaguitar]

Really Really cool!!! Thanks a lot for the video, very very useful! I love your playing!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@slickfingerstratman]

this was awesome to see, I never new how to use the slapback ,thanks for the tutorial ,I'm also using the DL4 MK2 so much to learn

[@JayLeonardJ]

Slapback is a game changer! Enjoy experimenting!

Crazy chops bro. Thanks for the tips!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Always happy to help, enjoy :)

[@drcockles]

Wonderful demo Jay

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@SniperVinc]

Very nice video about delay effect. Hepled ne so far. Thanks. 🎉❤

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@agtrst]

Appreciate the video. I just have a standard Boss delay pedal but will now experiment to find out what else it can do. It's usually stuck to one setting. Thanks for lighting the fire :)

[@JayLeonardJ]

Happy tweaking!

[@TheGrahamSnyder]

Just picked up the Dl 4mk2 a week ago and wow what a great pedal

[@JayLeonardJ]

Glad you dig yours! It's tons of fun :)

[@turtletone9094]

Blimey u make everything sound amazing! Cld u do a vid for tremolo some day pls? 🙏

[@JayLeonardJ]

Great idea!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

This was fantastic. Such a great-guitar-player. I hear the Nile Rodgers influence in your playing. Really enjoyed it. oNe LovE from NYC

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks a lot!

[@mirkosavik6920]

Just great, now I want to buy that delay pedal...

[@JayLeonardJ]

Haha :)

[@JohannesLabusch]

This video made me think of that scene in "High Fidelity" in which John Cusack's character says "I'm now going to sell five copies of The Beta Band". It's like you said "I"m gonna sell a couple hundred DL4s today."

[@JayLeonardJ]

haha :)

[@didiernolin]

Really love your videos but even more that series. Great job !

[@JayLeonardJ]

These are my favorite kinds of videos to make :)

[@druwk]

These are some of MY favorites of your posts. Rather than selling the latest, whatever…how to use the stuff you (probably) already have. At the end of the day, a good player can use ANY similar kind of equipment to create a usable sound. Does the Overdrive, Delay, Fuzz HAVE to a certain brand, or in the ballpark?

[@bomemquasetudo]

Thanks for the lesson!!

[@SuperMariotrip420]

Definitely deep dive into rhythmic delay

[@JayLeonardJ]

Yes!

[@matthiasscheffler548]

Very well explained!!!

[@donly8408]

21:18-22:00 AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@amirmanber2397]

Great 😊 thank you 🙏🏻

[@chrismillett]

Whoa that slapback tone, well, slaps

[@JayLeonardJ]

Yeah!!! Thanks :)

[@Ky6Stringer]

Good demonstration. Very inspiring.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EBJorge-ql1ii]

I have the same delay dl4 mk2. You help me a lot to set up 3 presets.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Glad to help!

[@MK-tj5bf]

Thanks! That what I was looking for!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Glad to help!

[@johnstanley6977]

Amazing playing and a great teacher. You’ve earned a sub from me. 👍

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@jrtaylor2601]

Wow! Your tone is killer! …and inspiring! Time to completely rethink my Helix setup for my tele… 😂 What distortion pedal(s) are you using in this video?

[@jrkoosh]

YES! I was hoping you would use the Dl4- just got one! Just signed up for Patreon !

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks so much for joining the team!!

damn each time i saw a vid of Jay The King Of Funkyness .... i feel like playing 4 a week without taking even a short break 🤣

That is my goal for all the people who watch the vids, haha! Keep playing, keep learning, and funk on!

[@craiglizt8074]

That guitar! So nice!!!!

[@rythmandblooze8937]

Awesome !

[@tierischguttennisspielen7766]

Super!!🔥

[@deanallen927]

Nice one, J.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@gerscheeve297]

Great useful video! I use the slap back with a bit of feedback in front of my tube distortion, for harmonica. And it works great! Use an old Hotone XTomp for it with EHX memory man immitation. But I want to replace it. Nice thing about the EHX is the volume boost. But also the new memory man is noisy. I wonder if the TC electronic bucket brigade is a good candidate, or is it to warm sounded? Any one?

[@stevestarr6395]

EVH and Gilmour delay would be cool Jay!

[@JayLeonardJ]

That would definitely be worth a deep dive :)

[@kodykindhart5644]

Great video

[@Csartreweghhgf]

that guitar is beautiful

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@sacasticus]

I would love to see some of the settings you came up with the halo pedal.

[@LittleRapGuy]

Rock on...

[@BrickDavis]

I guess what would be your favorite song to play with a delay in each effect? I've been in love with delay since 1999 on Aurora from there is nothing left to lose by the foo fighters track six and anywho my point is I finally had the funds nearly 20 years of guitar playing later to finally buy some pedals and I got a 3 series delay and I love it for the aurora sound but man I need some effort in the area of making it sound good.

[@Rafalus76]

Nice sounds :-)

[@Leto042]

I like him he’s cool not annoying n he knows his stuff. But he needs to keep pedal on screen so u can absorb the settings. I’m annoyed by a lot of guitar KZbinrs but they leave pedal on screen so I can get info. I will watch more of his. I like him n hopefully he figures out split screen! Thank u!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I actually took that comment to heart. I'll try to do some more split screen stuff in the future. It is a little more time consuming, but I can definitely see how that can be much more helpful :)

[@vtbluzplyr]

schweeeeeeeeet !!!

[@djmojolosangeles8190]

Awesome talent and insight! Question: Do you have any less0n videos on how to play 50's rockabilly Chet Atkins style? Thanks again for sharing your gift with us guitar aficionados!

[@JayLeonardJ]

That is a great video idea!

[@ancientxtitan9313]

Very informative. Thank you very much. How about doing also for reverb?

[@JayLeonardJ]

Great idea!!!!

[@Zan_Halford]

For slapback, if you use a vibrato, too, do you put the slapback before or after the vibrato?

[@realgoodmind]

I need so much delay help. I just cannot get it to work for me. I love reverb and just cannot find a proper balance when i am throwing delay in with reverb. Love this type of content.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hopefully this vid was able to help! I just released a video last week about blending a GFI Orca Delay with a GFI Skylar Reverb. Maybe that might help you with some more ideas as well!

[@jamiejupiter4503]

Excellent! The slapback creates an almost 3D effect. What about the live venue, things could get messy if there's a lot of natural reverb. What is your experience of that?

[@JayLeonardJ]

In big echo-ey places, I tend to turn off the reverb and use primarily slapback tones when I want to be heard :)

[@burnguitars]

Sensacinal

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks :)

[@runefagereng6023]

This double tracker sound you have on Get Lucky, sound very nice! Is it possible to dial this in on any other delay pedal? Can you show? :)

[@JayLeonardJ]

It depends on the minimum delay time of the pedal. Try dialing "time" as low as it will go, going for one repeat, and starting with a 50/50 mix

[@GerardRebours]

Dazzling - as always. May be the reverse and the ducking delay might also inspire you some interesting approach too? Thanks a lot.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Ah, the ducking delay was one of my outtakes for this vid! Should have kept it in!!

[@xferme]

It’s really hard for me to not get distracted by rhythm delay. It always throws me off time. Any tips?

[@JayLeonardJ]

start with the 8th note delay. And do it as a call and response. slowly move up the speed and start play more and more complex rhythms. With enough practice, you will just sink into the groove :)

[@xferme]

What’s that mic?

[@JayLeonardJ]

Cascade Fathead 2 is what I use for my amps and an Audix SCX1 for my voice.

[@jwstout007]

Get on some reverse delay! ;)

[@JayLeonardJ]

YES!

[@StraightRocketFuel]

1/10. I used the exact same settings but I still suck

[@WannDann2-cz6ms]

not useful for any gig....maybe studio

[@mr.k1896]

Found the drummer.

[@kqandthesoundtrip7636]

My mix level on this pedal I'm using to get this sound has to be barely on otherwise I can't do much slapback

[@JayLeonardJ]

Is your amp gained up and you are going in the front end of your amp? If so, try putting it in the effects loop, use a cleaner amp tone and get your gain from a pedal before the delay :)

[@ChasingTone666]

I absolutely love your vibe and enthusiasm.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!
