How to Use Delay

[@ZachBrobstMusic]

Found myself constantly smiling through this video! I appreciated the fun banter back and forth guys. Great and educational video

[@NickRiceFilm]

We try to have fun 😂 thanks dude!

[@nicelliott209]

Thanks both. A video about using the types of delays in common scenarios in worship songs would be cool too.

[@prestonsearcy2083]

Thanks for making a helpful video that isn’t simply inspiring consumerism or gear envy for guitarists! I’m using the Starlight Echo Station and really love it. Used the DD-3 for years. God bless!

[@natekincaid9342]

DD5 and a Timefactor here. T1M tap pedal sends the tempo to both. Covers lots of ground. I agree, the timeline scares me. Thanks for the great content!

[@worshipartistry]

The timefactor is my (nick) favorite delay pedal! I want one again so badly.

I am certainly not an expert on using delay in my playing but I have three different delay pedals on my pedalboard and I love each one for different applications. MXR Carbon Copy Delay Electro-Harmonix Canyon Delay Boss DD-200 Digital Delay

[@worshipartistry]

How do you like that Canyon Delay?

[@jamesmharvey]

@@worshipartistry I love the Canyon Delay. It has some great delay "sounds" and is very easy to use. I did add a tap switch to set the tempo. I do wish the tap/divide button was either easier to change with my foot 🙂or would keep the previous setting when powered down. Even with that, it's a great pedal. I actually considered the Grand Canyon when I dumped my Flashback and bought the DD-200.

[@jamesmharvey]

T1M with a Barefoot Button is my tap tempo switch.

I have the Boss 500 series on my P&W pedalboard and I would like to know how you dial in delays on the DD500 and what your process is as far as building song specific presets or build general use sounds.

[@worshipartistry]

How I use mine: I generally just have a short delay and then a longer delay on one bank, and then bank up, I then have similar sounds but just very ambient. If I do song specific banks, I just basically use the delay how I like to play with it and try to match it if it has a heavy mod on it or something, but basically just set the BPM for each song and then bank thru them. I pretty much just build out general use sounds for delay, that's how I really prefer it. I stick pretty much with 1/4, 1/8, dotted 1/8, then dual.

I hate a Echolution 3 that feeds into a GFI Clockwork V3. Was going to downsize but each delay gives me something the other doesn't. Still working on using them in series though.

[@worshipartistry]

that sounds rad! The GFI stuff is V cool. I definitely want to get ahold of one

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

I use a JHS Lucky Cat (mono) -> Boss DD-200 (stereo). 8th -> dodded 8th most of the time. Love the sounds I get out of this combo 👐🏼

[@worshipartistry]

I've not tried a JHS Lucky Cat, sounds cool though. What kind of delay is it?

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

@@worshipartistry It is a digital delay pedal that also has a tape (emulated) delay setting with more character. It has a very unique "darken" knob that can make it more analog sounding. Also has 2 "mod" switches to make the repeats more swirly/chorusy. The pedal is discontinued, and wasn't that popular. Idk why really.

I use a DD-500. I've been using this about 4 years, however, it seems some guitarist are covering all songs with a Strymon El Capistan, Tape Delay. I guess they tap in each song. I don't know how they change from 1/4, 1/8, dotted 1/8, etc.

[@erickdiaz6152]

the new version of the el capistan has MIDI. That is a way you can change the tempo settings

[@worshipartistry]

This was huge when it came out, for me.
