Danelectro Back Talk Reverse Delay

[@mfnpjparty]

I played one of these 15 years ago when I was in high school, my drummer friend's older brother had one and he stole it for me to use for a day. We played Stone Roses "Waterfall" for about an hour because we couldn't stop listening to the beautiful repeats. I wanted one ever since but they were impossible to find. So glad they're back!

[@BackToBackJames]

Thats an amazing song to play

I have been thinking of this pedal for a while and have been torn between the hefty price for such a special effect and the obviously magical sound of it. Yesterday I ordered one, based primarily on this demo, and now I find myself looking forward to receiving it more than I usually do when ordereing a new pedal. Can't wait to try it myself.

[@blakehoss6837]

Hope it was worth it!!

[@TheWriter86]

How do you like it?? There’s one at my local shop that I’m thinking about buying

[@Strangel72]

@@TheWriter86 I returned it actually. I found it was much harder to make use of the effect in a song than I hoped. I have since bought a EHX Holy grail max , which has a gorgeous backwards reverb instead, and that was more usable to me. I suggest you try the backtalk at the store before buying, to know if it is for you.

[@TheWriter86]

@@Strangel72hey there. Late response, but idk if I saw this reply before buying it, but I have it now. I just ran into it in my house yesterday, so I’m going to give it a go tomorrow. Thanks for the response and I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@anothergerman88]

And so I listened to you play for hundreds of years and I was happy

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Danelectro has recently stepped-up-their game. The past year or so - they have really improved their product line, and offer great "bang-for-the-buck" - Andy is so freaking good though - sometimes it's hard to tell if its just him?

[@michael_caz_nyc]

@Jardani Jovonovich I agree with you on that. ( both companies ) = Great Value for your money. I'd add Barber Electronics to that camp as well. Gain Changer SR - Killer OD.

[@filipkostovski873]

I think a lot of it has to do with how creative he is. I think you can give him a blender and he'll still find a way to make it musical. I really wish I had his brain :/

[@CorbCorbin]

Mike Hermans is similarly gifted with making any effect usable.

[@georgefromgreece4119]

It's always about Andy and Dany!

Already have one, but so glad more guitarists will get to own this masterpiece.

[@JohnDoe-kq8dx]

Best gear channel, imho. Thanks for featuring great gear in rad ways, guys!

[@mrfrontranger7911]

So hard to get a reverse delay to sound good, but the man that is pdxandyguitar made it happen, there is hope for the rest of us 🤗

[@deepspacepilots]

This is awesome. Thank you. I knew this pedal could sound good. I watched another video just now and guys making it couldn’t string two chords together that sounded good and it was hard to get past that to hear the actual pedal. So to hear you play through is a big help. Now I can hear how it could be used creatively. Great job.

[@AndyDemos]

Glad it helped!

[@jfrorn]

Love the tune Andy, very nice. Those retro looking pedals sound and look great as well!

[@jakeprusinski2273]

[@Saganite]

Liked for the intro jam alone.

[@blakehoss6837]

I still have my original. Have been wanting to buy a backup in case it has issues. Quite possibly my all time favorite pedal and I have so many songs I can't really play without it.

[@bonejangler3431]

I have the original one too, and, while I like the look of this one, I think the original just looks way cooler. I see reviews of it where they talk about "how ugly it was." WHAT??? It's quite possibly my favorite of the many effects pedals that I own. Love the tape-like sound!

[@blakehoss6837]

@@bonejangler3431 I usually use mine more as a looper/way to make a big wall of mush than for reversed soloing. Also like setting repeats at 100% with the delay time short and the mix fully wet for stuttery goodness

[@thesquigglespin]

Just ordered this pedal, can't wait to get my hands on it. I fore see a labyrinth of spacial possibilities. 🎸🎸🎸

[@eloyente_]

That is the pedal I ever dreamed, thanks god

[@bonejangler3431]

Great demo! Andy's got a really good handle on how to use this pedal. I've owned the original model since, like, 2003, and, it's probably my favorite of my many pedals that I have. I tend to use it totally wet, most of the time.

[@davidwoods358]

I really wanted to hate this pedal but after hearing your opener I have to say, it's cool! a very specific effect and it does what it does really well .. also for a reasonable price. I may or may not purchase the Back Talk but, I have been mulling over the Breakup for a while now, glad you used both. I have the original Fab Drive and have used the heck out of it over the years .. and in place of some "much" higher priced pedals. it has a beefy hairy but smooth tone unattainable by the other pedals I own. Very nice demo Sir.

[@sassycat]

I really like these new Dano pedals, would be curious to try this one out against the original.

[@ThelBosch]

I have a Ibanez DE7, and I have never bought a pedal that duplicates an effect I already have besides different clipping circuits, but I think this is different enough to count as a “new” effect. I wasn’t looking for a delay at all, but now I’m trying to talk myself into this one 🤣 I think this and a mild gain on the sugar drive into a small class a combo could be my new sound. I don’t have a problem. You have a problem. Stop looking at me like that 🤪

[@gxtmfa]

I use this to add sustain on top of my delay on pedal steel! It works great for adding a little extra something

[@Terry3Gs]

Awesome job as always Andy !! I think a few of these new dan electro products can get someone into a hendrix teritory quickly.

[@joaoarielbf]

the way the repetitions of a lick you already did keep on playing without scrambling with the new notes is just awesome! I wonder if it happens as nicely on bass

[@ericlayton8888]

I’m not certain but I think the double bassist from GoGo Penguin used one of these on their song “Hopopono” - it might not be a Back Talk but it is a reverse delay and it works beautifully, really comes through toward the end of the tune

[@bonejangler3431]

I've used the original with a bass, and, as long as you don't strike the strings too hard, it works the same as with a guitar.

[@charliejamz.]

Frank Marino was big on reverse delay. The opening jam was cool.

Sounds amazing. But I think it's missing a momentary switch option. If it had that, I would buy it without thinking.

[@graemero5532]

Sweet pedal, great demo

[@zacharydoering313]

To me this has a lower noise floor and more discernible in the decays and layering than the original. I have two of the originals and they have an almost dreamy hazy tone to them, but this actually sounds better like they reengineered the analog input/output stage. Hats off to Danelectro.

[@FrequencyMurderation]

Bet you could get some wild results out of this thing with a decent synth

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Same here, I think these would fly at £100, but they're £160 in the UK.

[@mykhedelic6471]

Would have to agree, I think lurching from "cheap" pedals to $200 is a real downside. They're great pedals (my Eisenhower is one of my favorites) but jumping to 200 on these latest was just not the best marketing idea, I think it immediately put people off. $150 said, "we're going to up our game" but $200 just said "we're like a hand built boutique company," --- and they are not.

[@AndyDemos]

It's been up since PGS closed. Thanks so much for subscribing!!!

[@vernal6944]

Cool, but not as cool as a Red Panda Tensor. Sounds better with more options which makes it waaaaay more usable. Tape slow down, speed up, reverse, pitch shift up or down, time slow or speed up...or any combo. Plus a looper that's insane with granular goodness that has latching, momentary or normal looping. Not to mention you can use an expression pedal which is 1/2 the fun. $100 more but infinitely better. Before you bash this comment go look. I just helped you. And it's dead silent with no noise floor. You really can't beat it for what it does.

[@tokenofdevotion]

That, or be creative and use a line selector to couple this with your other gear in parallel full wet. If you don't have other pedals to use this with then yeah the red panda is "better" I guess

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

I have a Boss Md500 and I still want this. The reverse delay on the MD500 dont sound as cool as this pedal.

Thanks for the demo! Is it really the same circuit as the original 90s version though? Also is it analog?

There are no analog reverse delay pedals. It uses the exact same IC chip as the original but the circuit board most likely follows today's building techniques to make it more reliable. Thanks!

Unless it can work in a loop I wouldn't go near it. No use for pre-gain delay unless I could afford to use Hiwatt stacks as an effects PA. Ala Gilmour!

All pedals work in a loop. Some are designed for it and others aren't, but all pedals function in a loop. Any delay pedal with definitely work properly in a loop.

[@seansalo5117]

Maybe there's some old pedals that for some reason wouldn't work in an effects loop, but any modern pedal doesn't have a reason not to I think.
